I\u2019m designing the space to feel warm, lived-in, and approachable, so people can experience scent as part of real, everyday life. I plan to host small gatherings for DIY body and home care. My goal is to create an environment that feels less like shopping and more like a place to pause, reset, and reconnect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Why did you apply for Seattle Restored? how will this opportunity help you reach your goals?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I applied to Seattle Restored because I want to explore what it looks like to bring the feeling behind <a href=\"https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/locations\/good-olfactory-candles\/\">Good Olfactory Candles<\/a> into a physical space. The brand has always been about creating small moments that make a day feel more livable, and I\u2019m interested in how that can exist beyond the home or the weekend market. Seattle Restored feels like a thoughtful way to test that\u2014within a community that values creativity, intention, and local connection. I\u2019m drawn to the idea of building something that feels less like a store and more like a place people can pause and spend time. It feels aligned with both where the brand is now and where I hope to take it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23864\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-45-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.growingboymedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrowingBoyMedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: What&#8217;s the most rewarding part of your business? how do you hope to impact the community?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most rewarding part of my business is the sense of connection it creates with people.

I want the brand to feel like a small refuge, something that helps bring a bit of calm to the messiness of life.

I\u2019ve lived with depression for most of my adult life, and creating this brand has been part of how I\u2019ve learned to take care of myself in small, meaningful ways. It wasn\u2019t something I found overnight\u2014it took time to discover what actually helped, and that perspective informs everything I make. I\u2019m also building this alongside a full-time career, which can be challenging, but it\u2019s something I feel deeply committed to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I believe in creating something that not only supports me, but can support others in quiet ways too. Giving back is also important to me, which is why a portion of proceeds goes to <a href=\"https:\/\/twloha.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">To Write Love on Her Arms<\/a>. I want the brand to reflect the idea that even when things feel hard, there are still small ways to stay connected to yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/seattlerestored.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/Good-Olfactory-Candles-Flavia-Onufrei_GrowingBoyMedia_-46-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, 100vw\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Photo by&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.growingboymedia.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GrowingBoyMedia<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Do you have any events or collaborations coming up?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll be hosting DIY Ritual Body Oil classes with the first being <strong>Saturday, May 9th from 12:00-1:30pm<\/strong>.\u00a0The cost will be $65; it includes\u00a0a workshop on skin-friendly oils, essential oil blending, and a little bouquet of seasonal flowers.

I was born and raised in California and relocated to Seattle in my early 30s. I felt like I had finally found my grounding and community \u2014 life really opened up before me in a way my soul really craved. I say, stay open to that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Where would you take visitors or a group of friends for a fun, relaxed experience in Seattle?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019d take visitors straight to the water\u2014it\u2019s always felt like the heart of Seattle to me, especially having spent time working at Argosy Cruises. I\u2019d start with a long Locks Cruise, which is one of my favorite ways to experience the city\u2014you get both the saltwater of Puget Sound and the freshwater of Lake Union, and it gives you a completely different perspective of Seattle. After that, I\u2019d head over to Gas Works Park for a relaxed picnic with a view of the skyline. It\u2019s one of those places that feels effortlessly local and a little nostalgic. To wrap up the day, I\u2019d grab pizza from Fiasco and keep things easy, just sitting outside and enjoying the evening. It\u2019s simple, but it\u2019s exactly how I like to experience the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:5px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: What are you looking forward to the most in the coming year?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This year feels important: I am turning 40 in August while celebrating two years of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodolfactorycandles.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Good Olfactory Candles<\/a>.
