A BIT ABOUT US...

Hi, I'm Jillian! Thanks for visiting and browsing my shop.

Yam Collective is a Maine-based home scent studio specializing in handcrafted, eco-friendly candles and aromatic products.

Named after my daughter Yamilah, our brand offers clean-burning coconut wax candles with wooden wicks, along with room sprays, diffusers and parfum oils -- all made in small batches using vegan, phthalate- and paraben free fragrances. We are committed to sustainability, providing a refill service that allows customers to reuse their candle vessels, either by drop-off or mail-in, promoting a zero-waste approach.

With our minimalist aesthetic and focus on clean ingredients, we hope to bring warmth and intentionality to your home.

Thank you for shopping small!

S E A S T O N E
Bold and elemental, Seastone captures the untamed spirit of the coast where land meets sea. Crisp cypress evokes windswept cliffs and coastal forests, while cool marine minerals bring a rush of ocean air—clean, invigorating, and raw. A hint of plum ripens the composition with a subtle, dark fruitiness that grounds the freshness with depth and elegance. Seastone is a modern, genderless scent that feels like standing at the edge of the world—powerful, refreshing, and quietly magnetic.

Fragrance Notes: • Top: Marine Minerals • Heart: Cypress • Base: Plum

Vibe: Fresh. Deep. Elemental.Perfect for: Ocean dwellers, minimalist souls, and those drawn to quiet strength.

🔥Introducing the Eau de Toilette Collection 🔥

A collection born of heat and horizon. Our 3 custom fragrances capture the effortless elegance of high summer—where golden light lingers on the skin and time slows beneath an endless sky.

Weightless yet unforgettable, our eau de toilette is designed for the season when everything feels alive, and every moment holds the promise of something just out of reach.

Housed in glass touched by the sun, this is your invitation to step into the warmth—bare, bold, and beautifully undone.

Radiate. Reside in light.
