Our Story

 Arkansas-born, Texas-raised Candice M. Conley is about creativity and finding your niche. Through many different avenues or what she would call “hobbies,” from apparel to crafting as a stress reliever, Candice created Calming Scents as a montage for her need to relieve stress and to pay homage to her daughter Jasyia, who was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in 2021.

             Candice is a Lake Highlands High School graduate in Dallas, Texas, and has always been a leader, from being the oldest of her siblings to working in a leadership capacity until obtaining her BS Degree in Human Resource Management from the University of Phoenix in 2017. She has worked in the healthcare industry for over 20 years and is a Practice Administrator for a reputable medical practice in Dallas.

            As a single mother, Candice has faced many obstacles. She has lived by her moniker “Giving Up Is Not Believing” for many years, leading her to the creation of Calming Scents. After her daughter’s Lupus diagnosis, she became more concerned with healthier and natural ways to care for your skin and ways to smell good. Her products contain natural butter and essential and fragrance oils. Shea Butter is the main ingredient for many of her products, mainly due to its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties.

          Calming Scents came from a negative connotation of the phrase Common Sense used by her previous manager. Calming Scents was born to turn that negative experience into a positive one while using a play on words.
