Our Story
Caribbean Roots.
Brooklyn Energy.
Poured by Hand.
BkBadness & Co. was born from a simple truth: home isn’t a place, it’s a feeling and scent is the fastest way back to it.
The name says everything about where we come from.

Bk
Brooklyn
The block, the stoop, the noise, the people who raised us. It’s the energy we carry into everything we make bold, unbothered, unapologetically ours.
Badness
The Island
Back home, badness is the mischief, the fire, the little bit of extra that makes something unforgettable. It’s not trouble it’s character. It’s the reason our scents don’t whisper.
Put them together and you get us: Caribbean roots with Brooklyn energy, poured by hand.
What started in Fall 2024 with one candle-making kit and a lot of curiosity has grown into a collection of handcrafted home fragrance coconut apricot wax candles with wooden wicks, wax melts, room sprays, reed diffusers, car diffusers, and incense. We’ve grown, but the candles are still the heart of it. Every one is poured in small batches from our home base in Chesterfield, Virginia no shortcuts, no filler, no rushing the good part.
Because that’s the whole point. Light the wick. Let the room change. Bring island warmth home.
Thank you for supporting a small business and letting us be part of your home, your celebrations, and your everyday.
Light the wick. Let the room change.
“Bringing Island Warmth Home.”
