Our story
The story behind The GOOD LIFE
The GOOD LIFE is a small, veteran-owned home fragrance business in Aubrey, Texas. We hand-pour candles and make home fragrance for the everyday pleasure of finding a scent you love living with.
Meet Brandon
A new direction, closer to home
I’m Brandon, founder of The GOOD LIFE, a disabled U.S. Marine veteran and a dad. After a major stroke in April 2025, I left my corporate job at T-Mobile so I could be home for my daughter.
Spending more time at home made me appreciate the everyday things that make it feel like ours. Fragrance became part of that. I wanted scents I would enjoy living with, and making them gave me something creative to put my energy into.
That is what I want to share through The GOOD LIFE: the pleasure of finding a fragrance that feels like you. Something you look forward to lighting at the end of the day, or misting into a room before people you love come over.

Hand-poured in Aubrey, Texas
Our 8.5 oz candles are hand-poured in Aubrey using a blend of soy wax, beeswax and coconut oil.
Fragrance is a personal choice. You might love warm amber and woods, fresh linen, soft florals, or fruit and spice. Our collection gives you different directions to explore, with several ways to enjoy your favorite at home.
