The Cozy Life Candle Studio was created to be a sanctuary for anyone who is seeking a break from their busy lives. Made in New York City, one of the busiest places in the world, we know a thing or two about the daily grind.

This has led us to create candles that serve as reminders to pause, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your family, friends, and most importantly, with yourself. Whether it's wearing your coziest sweater or a quiet evening at home, our scents will make the perfect companion after a long day.

At The Cozy Life Candle Studio, we take pride in our candles being vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and paraffin-free. They are crafted with a coconut soy blend, ensuring an eco-friendly, clean burn that you can feel good about. We prioritize quality and safety by using lead-free cotton wicks and high-quality fragrance oils that offer the smoothest and coziest feel.

And our unique hexagon vessels are not only functional but also serve as beautiful decor pieces. Seamlessly blending with various decor themes, they add visual interest to your living space while elevating your home’s aroma.

We look forward to transforming  your home and your mood. Life is about to get a little bit cozier.

Charlie Sotamba is one half of The Cozy Life Candle Studio team. With a deep-rooted love for fragrances, Charlie has embraced the art of candle making, blending creativity with craftsmanship to produce candles that do much more than just illuminate a room—they create a soothing ambiance that transforms spaces and moods.

Charlie was always captivated by the power of scent and its ability to evoke memories, alter emotions, and create atmospheres. This fascination led to the world of fragrances ultimately discovering companies like Parfums de Marly, Tom Ford, Prada, and Givenchy. These iconic brands inspire him everyday.

When he’s not dreaming up a new candle, Charlie enjoys drawing inspiration from the world around him, allowing experiences to continually shape his approach to candle making.

Nikki Garcia is the other half of The Cozy Life Candle Studio team. With a passion for interior design and home decor, she has transformed her love for aesthetics into a business that brings the essence of comfort and serenity into one’s home.

Nikki’s journey into candle-making was born out of a deeply personal experience. After the birth of her daughter, Nikki faced the very common, yet challenging realities of postpartum depression. In the midst of navigating this difficult period, she found solace in this newfound craft. Candle making became a creative outlet to channel her emotions and gradually find her own spark, which led to the inception of The Cozy Life Candle Studio.

Nikki believes that creating a cozy space can significantly impact one’s well-being and overall happiness. The quality and aesthetic appeal of The Cozy Life Candle Studio’s products, ensure that each candle not only smells divine, but also complements and adds visual interest to any room.

In founding The Cozy Life Candle Studio, Charlie and Nikki set out with a clear mission: to craft high-quality, hand-poured candles that provide a sense of warmth and comfort. And in encapsulating universal moments of coziness, they hope to inspire others to prioritize self-care and embrace the simple pleasures of life.
