Who Am I?
Hello! I am Victoria, a kindred spirit who finds solace in photography and the enchantment of crystals.
Working from my cozy home studio in Vancouver, Washington, I pour passion and intention into every candle. From my hands to yours, each piece is a warm invitation to find peace, nostalgia, and magic in your day.
From Searching For Comfort To Entrepreneurship
Gemini Horse was born in December 2020, when the world felt uncertain and life as we knew it had slowed to a halt. Amid lockdowns and isolation, I found myself seeking a creative way to bring a sense of calm and purpose to my days—and that's when I began making candles.
What started as a simple hobby soon became a source of comfort, resilience, and joy. Inspired by mineral stones' soothing and grounding energy, I envisioned creating something that could provide others with that same sense of steadiness and peace—even when everything around us felt out of control.
Today, Gemini Horse has blossomed into multiple heartfelt collections featuring alluring aromas, each infused with care and intention. Every candle is crafted to evoke happiness, warmth, and nostalgia, offering a little serenity with every use.
I hope that Gemini Horse becomes more than just a product—it becomes a companion, a reminder of brighter moments, and a source of comfort whenever you need it most. Here's to finding your perfect scent, reimagining your space, and celebrating the beauty of discovering something new.
The name
I was born in June, making me a true Gemini with a curious, dual-natured spirit. Inspired by my Chinese heritage, I set out to create something deeply personal that captures the meaning I pour into every candle. I was born in the Year of the Horse, according to the Chinese zodiac, which symbolizes strength, grace, and freedom. This felt like the perfect way to honor my roots and celebrate my story.
The name "Gemini Horse" was born from this connection—a blend of identity and culture that defines who I am. I strive to share a piece of this story with every candle, hoping that these creations resonate with you and inspire you to connect with your own unique story.
Crafting Scents That Take You Back
Every scent tells a story—your story. At the heart of my fragrances is the magic of nostalgia, capturing the essence of your cherished memories. Picture the laughter of carefree summer days by the lake or the warmth of family gathered together. Each aroma is a gateway to those treasured moments, designed to help you relive them time and time again.
But it doesn’t stop there. The joy of fragrance lies in its ability to create new memories, too—moments of connection, happiness, and self-discovery. These aren’t just scents; they are experiences woven into your self-care ritual, memories shared, and bonds strengthened.
Indulge in the enchanting power of scent. Relive the past, celebrate the present, and inspire the future—all with a single breath.
Better together
Every purchase you make helps rewrite the story for animals in need. I am proud to donate 5% of each purchase to local animal shelters, which provide care and hope to countless animals. Additionally, $5 from every invoice goes directly to the EQUUS Foundation, which is dedicated to protecting horses from abuse, neglect, and slaughter. Together, we can create a kinder, safer world for animals. Thank you for standing with us and making this mission possible!
