Our Story
A small workshop, a slow practice, and a love for clean fragrance.
Oshus began in 2019 on a quiet stretch of Stockton Road in Chuckey, Tennessee. After years of mixing essential oils in mason jars for friends and family, Amber Schwartz turned a converted garage into a candle workshop. Today every order is still poured, labeled, and packed by hand within a few miles of where the lavender grows.
We believe a candle should smell like the place it came from — like cut hay after a thunderstorm, like the inside of a grandmother's hope chest, like the first wood stove of October. Nothing more, nothing less.

Chuckey, Tennessee — pop. 1,200.
Tucked beneath the Bald Mountains in Greene County. It's quiet here, and that's why the candles smell the way they do.
