About US!
Dominique Zuniga, the founder and creator of Uncommon Scents, embarked on her candle-making journey in Merced, CA. A proud mama with a deep passion for candles, she is dedicated to creating experiences that evoke memories and emotions, while ensuring every space feels clean (even if there are days you’ve only had a chance to do a quick tidy-up).
After years of falling short from satisfaction when buying candles, she invested in her own dreams to learn the process of crafting a luxurious clean burning candle she longed to find. That journey began in her kitchen, because if there’s a will, there’s a way!
It’s time to elevate your ambiance with quality candles that make every space feel like home.

Here at Uncommon Scents, we value quality, which is why each candle is hand-poured in small batches by me, Dominque Zuniga! In addition to pouring every candle, I create all of my own blends using high quality fragrance oils that are designed to evoke emotions and memories.
