Set Forth NY Reviews 3

Written by the company

I started Set Forth NY after losing my mother in 2021. In the quiet months that followed, grief didn’t arrive loudly. It settled into everyday moments. Lighting a candle became a small, steady ritual not to fix the loss or make sense of it, but simply to stay present with what I was carrying. What began as something deeply personal grew into Set Forth NY. Not as a business idea first, but as a way of honoring presence, reflection, and the moments we move through quietly. The candles I make are not meant to perform or impress. They are meant to sit with you during transition, remembrance, or quiet joy. Set Forth NY is a New York–based candle company creating hand-poured, small-batch candles with care and restraint. Each scent is written like a memory, designed to evoke presence rather than overwhelm. I use clean, thoughtfully chosen materials and minimalist matte black vessels meant to live on long after the flame has passed. Everything I create reflects the same belief I started with: light does not disappear, even in hard or quiet seasons. If you’re looking for a candle that feels meaningful rather than decorative, something that keeps you company without asking you to be anything other than where you are, you’re in the right place. Set Forth NY exists to remind you that you’re allowed to slow down, to feel, and to begin again in your own time.See more
