Our Story
Ever notice how a single candle can change the entire mood of a room?
I have. My name is Jesús, and I’m the founder of Daybreak—a dream I’ve nurtured ever since making my first candle at 18.
As a home designer and musician, I’ve always believed our living spaces should inspire both calm and creativity. Daybreak started right in my self-renovated Tampa Bay home, where flickering candlelight turned dinners into celebrations and late-night chats into cherished memories. I saw firsthand how just the right glow can bring people closer together.

Why Candles?
They aren’t just about fragrance or décor. They’re about setting a tone—one that invites connection, reflection, and genuine comfort. When you light a Daybreak candle, you’re inviting that hospitality into your home, because I design every single scent to spark conversations and create a sense of belonging.
Our Mission
- Treat every customer like a cherished guest at our dining table—your trust matters more than anything.
- Serve accessible beauty—luxury shouldn’t come with a steep price tag or harmful ingredients.
-
Keep families happy, healthy, and safe—every candle is crafted with clean, transparent ingredients so you can breathe easy. Click here to read more about our Ingredient Transparency.
You deserve more than a candle that simply smells good. You deserve a whole experience that nourishes your sense of well-being and the relationships around you. I’m thrilled to welcome you into the Daybreak family—where each flame ignites warmth, connection, and a dash of everyday magic.
Thank you for being part of our story.
