Fire & Desire Candle Co.

Driven by the love of scent and the way it holds emotion, memory and comfort all at once, Fire & Desire Candle Co. was built on a foundation of connection, and the desire to create meaningful products that are rooted in quality and intention.

Kojo Clayton's Dartmouth-based business has been in operation a little over 4 years, and its organic growth—achieved through community support, word of mouth, and the shared love of thoughtful craftsmanship—is a testament to its foundational ethos of connection and meaning.

Fire & Desire is a small, heart-led brand focused on intentional living. Everything is made in small batches with care, using quality materials and thoughtfully curated scents. The brand is about slowing down, honoring feeling, and creating atmosphere — not just candles, but moments.

Homegrown

Kojo Clayton

For Kojo Clayton, candle-making is less about the product and more about the feeling. His work is personal—an extension of emotion, creativity, and storytelling—and he approaches each small batch with care rather than urgency.

Clayton built Fire & Desire on the belief that people deserve products that make them feel grounded, seen, and at home. That intention carries through everything he creates, from soy-based candles to lip butters, each one crafted to turn ordinary moments into something more meaningful.
