About us
Founded in 2017 while I was living in New York City and homesick for my native Los Angeles, Oeste is a studio that creates soulful scents and goods for your home.
From our small-yet-mighty studio, we make hand-poured aromatic goods in small batches using sustainable and eco-friendly materials. More than just great scents, Oeste is a space that celebrates our Latin-x roots, and the notion of home, through the lens of design. In addition to our own line of products, we offer a curated selection of goods from designers and makers across the Latin American diaspora. In the fall of 2022 we opened our own brick & mortar shop in East LA and in the spring of 2024 moved to our current home on the historic Whittier Blvd in Montebello, CA.
Our goal is to offer beautiful, quality home goods you’ll love, while also celebrating our rich cultural histories, and shining a spotlight on Latin-x makers and creatives along the way.

Our process
When we say small batch, we mean it
From our workshop on LA’s sunny east side, we handcraft our goods in small batches of 50 or less at a time using sustainable and eco-friendly materials.
Quality + Eco-Responsible Ingredients
Our candles feature a sumptuous coconut wax base, signature scents composed from blends of the finest essential and fragrance oils, clean burning cotton wicks, and unlike most candles on the market, are free of harmful preservatives, phthalates, lead, and paraffin. We are committed to using beautiful yet sustainable packaging, from our recycled glass vessels to reusable paper tube boxes to plastic-free shipping materials.
Representation Matters
Our goal is to offer attractive, eco-responsible, quality goods you'll love that also celebrate our cultural heritage so often ignored in the design world. More than just great hand-poured candles and scents, Oeste is meant as a
celebration of my Latinx roots, and the notion of home, through the lens of design.
