The Sotto Story
Hey there!
My name is Sarah and I started making homemade candles in my kitchen during the pandemic in the middle of 2020. A loss of connection between myself, my community and loved ones during this time inspired me to create scents that would help me recreate happy memories in my home spaces as well as cultivate a new kind of happiness I could share with family and friends.
Sotto is driven by the motto “inspired by what’s underneath,” meaning what lies underneath memories that inspire our happiness. For me, that happiness comes from lakeside vacations, the tranquility of natural spaces and holiday kitchen creations brimming with warm spices and sweet confections.
​
I am passionate about helping people refashion their home spaces around scents. I want to help you curate your home with beautiful, comforting, and one of a kind fragrances that are safe and clean burning, knowing these spaces host your most precious memories, old and new.
