D.C. Personality Candles

Sharp humor. City glow.

District Heroines was founded by sisters Dakota and Haley as a female-empowering brand inspired by their initials and the idea of a heroine as a woman admired for courage and achievement. Built around a funny, lighthearted point of view, the brand uses 100% soy wax and phthalate-free oils.

These 100% soy wax candles turn Washington neighborhoods, personalities, and inside jokes into fragrance, with scent stories that nod to cherry blossoms and names like Capitol Hill, The Lobbyist, and Mission-Navy Yard. Offered in a 5 oz. tin or 12 oz. glass and poured with phthalate-free oils, they capture D.C. at its most polished, ambitious, and just a little bit sly.
