FOX&WOLF
From a Single Candle to a Modern Dark Empire
Born from calm. Forged in chaos. Built on purpose.
Our Story Begins in 2019
What started as a quiet act of self-care became the foundation of everything that followed.
In 2019, I began hand-pouring candles to relieve stress while juggling full-time studies and raising three kids. That winter, I gifted them to friends, family, and coworkers—and the response was overwhelming. By the following year, when a “fake business” project came up in my degree program, I chose to build a candle company. I aced the final and gained something even better: clarity.
During the pandemic, I turned my coat-closet hobby into a registered LLC, working long nights by candlelight while the world stood still. When restrictions lifted, I took one dozen candles and a folding table to my first farmers market—and sold out completely. Within a year, I had quadrupled sales and expanded into larger markets, events, and local stores.
Rooted in Texas, Growing Everywhere
By 2024, our family returned home to Texas, where the business found its true rhythm. From our base in San Antonio, we now proudly operate inside:
Painted Tree San Antonio
Painted Tree Sunset Valley (Austin)
And we’re preparing to open four more Painted Tree locations across Texas in 2026, along with an expanding online collection of exclusive, limited-edition scents.
The Evolution of the Brand
Our journey began as Fox & Wolf Scents, named for the dual forces that define us:
🦊 The Fox — cunning, independent, and creative — reflects me, the founder, always crafting, always evolving.
🐺 The Wolf — loyal, social, and strong in the pack — embodies my husband, a military veteran who thrives in teamwork and leadership.
As the brand grew beyond candles, our identity evolved into something more refined—an intersection of scent, art, and atmosphere.
Thus, Romilow was born: a fusion of our family names.
Romilow stands for legacy, partnership, and transformation—the light born from the dark.
Our Mission
We craft sensory experiences that ground, inspire, and elevate your everyday life.
Every fragrance, vessel, and design is created with intention—to capture a feeling, a memory, or a moment worth keeping.
Romilow is more than a brand.
It’s a lifestyle of modern dark sophistication, where scent becomes story and luxury meets authenticity.

Every candle I pour is a story of transformation—light rising from the dark, beauty born from balance.”
