Olives and Elephants

Olives + Elephants is an extraordinary naturally and globally inspired luxury aromatic candle brand rooted in soulful storytelling, sensory escape, and timeless design. Founded by Regina Mariano—a former fashion publicist and interior designer—each candle channels the romance of faraway places, blending artisanal craftsmanship with slow luxury. 

Inspired by the nostalgia and transformative inspiration of travel, every Olives + Elephants scent begins with a destination that left a lasting impression—from the spice markets of Marrakech to the terracotta glow of Jaipur and the citrus groves of the Mediterranean. Working in collaboration with a renowned fragrance house, Regina develops complex, layered scents that unfold slowly — evoking the textures, moods, and vibes of the place that inspired it. 

Olive +Elephants’ metal and ceramic candle vessels are designed to age beautifully over time; developing a rich, one-of-a-kind patina, transforming each candle into a lasting keepsake. The result is an object that feels intimate, transportive, and meant to be treasured. 

With an ethos grounded in sustainability, emotional connection and intentional design, Olives + Elephants appeals to customers who value beauty with depth — enlightened souls drawn to thoughtful creative details, global perspective, and meaningful rituals. 

Olives + Elephants offers its customers a spiritual portal—a scent that stirs a memory, inspires a dream, or invites a moment of serene stillness. It’s a brand purpose-made for boutiques and retail shelves that tell stories, for customers who seek emotional resonance and quiet indulgence. Each candle also gives back: 1% of every sale supports wildlife conservation. 

For retailers seeking inspired, inspiring products with soul, Olives + Elephants delivers an experience as memorable as the places that inspired it.
