“Everything that I see in my minds eye, everything that I feel with my whole being, let my soul fly under the moonlight.”
Irmak Serttas
Founder
Born and raised in the coastal town of Bodrum, Turkey, I have always been captivated by the magic of scent—the way a familiar fragrance can transport you to a cherished memory, a distant place, or a feeling of pure comfort. That deep connection to scent and nostalgia led me to create Moonlight Candle Co., a brand that transforms emotions into beautifully handcrafted candles.
My journey took me from Bodrum to Orlando, where I pursued a degree in Business Administration at the University of Florida. But beyond academics, I’ve always had a passion for crafting, storytelling, and building something meaningful with my own hands.
With Moonlight Candle Co., every candle tells a story. Each one is meticulously hand-poured using 100% soy wax and infused with essential oils that capture the essence of nature, travel, and warmth. The jars, made from hand-poured cement, are designed to be repurposed—because beauty should be both sustainable and lasting.
This is more than just a candle business; it’s a labor of love, a celebration of craftsmanship, and a reflection of my journey. As a woman-owned brand, I take pride in creating products that not only fill spaces with inviting scents but also inspire others to embrace their own creativity and dreams.
With every candle, my hope is to bring a sense of comfort, nostalgia, and a little bit of magic into people’s lives—one flickering flame at a time.
