NOIR LUX CANDLE CO. ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE NEW STARBUCKS RESERVE ROASTERY COMMUNITY CAPSULE COLLECTION

Noir Lux Candle Co. has partnered with Starbucks to present an exclusive new collection of candles that launches today at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Seattle. This box set is a part of a community capsule collection and includes 3 handcrafted candles designed to create an enchanting ambiance and elevate cozy moments for coffee and fragrance enthusiasts alike.

“It has been a dream come true to partner on a collection with Starbucks, and it still feels surreal to say it

out loud,” said Noir Lux CEO Colina Bruce. “This collection has been almost a year in the making, and to

see it finally come to fruition is just a blessing. Our company started as a pandemic passion project in my

kitchen, and candle-making was really my substitute for not being able to get my Starbucks in the

mornings during that time. As a native of Seattle, I can’t put into words what this opportunity means,

and I’m just really proud of what we were able to create through this collaboration.”

Each candle in the limited-edition capsule collection was handcrafted at Noir Lux Candle Bar in the

Belltown/Lower Queen Anne area of Seattle, using soy wax, wooden wicks and non-toxic fragrances. The

collection includes 3 uniquely crafted scents in each box set, drawing inspiration from Starbucks iconic

coffee blends and embodying the essence of both brands’ commitment to quality and community.

The first candle in the set highlights notes of blackberry, jasmine and peach, and is an elegant blend of

dark fruits and florals, smoothed out by a tonka bean and amber base. Hints of citrus are bolstered by

notes of anise and black tea.

The next candle in the collection features notes of cardamom, cream and ginger, and infuses rich cream

with spice, cinnamon and chestnut for a delicious aromatic treat.

Rounding out the set is a candle that emphasizes notes of orange, mint and agave to create an

invigorating fragrance. The scent captures touches of citrus and sweet basil enveloped in an herbal mint,

eucalyptus and agave nectar base.

The Starbucks x Noir Lux Candle Co. Collection will only be available at Seattle Reserve Seattle Roastery.

The Noir Lux Team will be hosting a launch event for the collection on Friday, September 1st from 7pm –

9pm at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Seattle. The event is free to attend, open to the public, and the

collection will be available for purchase during the event.

About Noir Lux Candle Co.

Noir Lux Candle Co. is a Black-owned, female-led company based in Seattle that specializes in hand-

poured, non-toxic, scented candles inspired by good vibes and a deep sense of nostalgia. Each cleverly-

named candle features an eco-friendly wooden wick that crackles when lit to create the warm ambiance

Noir Lux was born in the kitchen of Colina Bruce during the pandemic. What was supposed to be a side

hustle and outlet for self-care soon grew to become a well-known candle brand, featured in Oprah

Magazine as one of 25 best Black-Owned candle companies, and on NPR Marketplace as a business to

watch. Noir Lux Candle Bar was opened in February 2020, and provides guests the opportunity to craft

their own custom fragrances. Noir Lux uses candles as a conduit to build community, which is evident

through its Candles for A Cause program which highlights respective nonprofit organizations with a

portion of proceeds going back to those organizations, and through its apothecary which only features

items crafted by small Black businesses.
