Preston Lane makes home-care and fragrance goods that are meant to stay on the counter, pairing plant-based, Italian-made formulas with fine fragrance and considered design. Founded by Preston Konrad and Lisa Manice, the brand extends that approach from its all-purpose cleaner and hand care to candles poured in the United States with vegan soy wax and lead-free cotton wicks. Its home-care formulas are vegan and Leaping Bunny certified, while its fragrances are IFRA certified.

C R Ξ Τ Ξ HOMEFounded in 2017 by pouring candles in a Brooklyn apartment, C R Ξ Τ Ξ HOME now hand-pours scented candles in New York’s Hudson Valley and extends those fragrances into room sprays, diffusers, and hand-care products. The brand uses cruelty-free, nontoxic materials and 100% vegetable wax, with scents designed to create what it calls “concrete memories” rather than sugary, cupcake-like aromas. It also brings the scent-making process to life through private candle- and room-spray-making events.
