ABOUT US
A letter from Kendall Hanna:
First of all, thank you for being here, from the bottom of my heart. This is an absolute passion of mine, and I’m so grateful that I can share that with you.
HH is a bespoke scent house that hand creates + pours small runs of high end, clean products for your life + home.
As a mama of two littles (Levi + June), my motherhood/pregnancy educated me more and more about the importance of removing toxins where possible for the health of our family. But as someone who is deeply passionate about scents, I was left white knuckling my toxic candles and perfume. While I enjoyed diffusing essential oils, I craved a more refined and luxury scent. I wanted myself and home to smell like the delicious entry of hotel lobby, but I couldn’t find anything that smelled remotely like that without the chemicals.
I’m not “crunchy” to my core, but I knew if I was spraying my entire house down with something I was breathing in for hours each day, it was gonna need to cleaned up.
One Christmas, I wanted to make something hand made for friends and neighbors— a friend mentioned she had been making candles, and I thought that would be the perfect gift for everyone.
What transpired from there was nothing short than becoming a mad scientist. It completely took over my mind. The science. The mixing of scents. The sourcing of materials. Staying up late into the night. Testing. Reworking. Tweaking. Creating. I took over our house with beakers, waxes, scales. But I found a deep passion in scent creation with all clean materials— it was an absolute JOY to do.
Once I gave them as presents, people kept coming back. Wanting to buy. Their friends started coming to me, asking if they might purchase. To my genuine surprise, it grew and grew until it became Hanna House. And eventually a whole line of products. I am so incredibly grateful.
My husband and I, for manyyyy years, have had the ultimate dream of creating boutique hotels. His gorgeous hosting talents, and my love for design and atmosphere coming together into a physical reality. We often spoke of how we’d love to have all our own scents there— imagining that when you came and stayed, there was such a signature scent that it would nestle into your memory of your time on vacation. To have scents that remind you of the importance of community, rest, and refilling your cup with beauty and play.
So this brand feels like interacting with that manifestation NOW, being able to bring these scents and products to life— transforming your every day moments into the hotel you want to stay in—- both through scent AND design.
Every photo, branding, and product is produced by us—every candle passionately hand poured in house. No outsourcing, just passionate makers dedicated to excellence in every detail.
To work on this brand, and hear how passionate others are about them, too, is a dream I never expected, yet feels like my life has been leading up to all along.
Hanna House is for YOU. To share them with you is a gift. And it is my absolute joy to create the scent of your future memories beside you.
