Founder's Story

Denetra Jackson is the founder and owner of Whiff And Nibble, a women-owned, black-owned novelty gifts business. She is happy to be known as a creative and a foodie. She's a faithful person, who stays involved in her community, but she has faced hard times. Denetra’s inspiration for her business stemmed from overcoming a difficult chapter in her life. She embarked on a transformative journey, both physically and mentally that has inspired her to share it with others.

In her healing journey she found joy, comfort and light during a difficult time by enjoying the fun and familiar scents of her youth. To avoid old habits, she discovered that by simply smelling desserts, it could satisfy her cravings—a sensory trick that sparked her imagination. This unique approach to self-care became the foundation of Whiff And Nibble, where her love for creativity and food come together in every product offered.

Can Scents Promote Healing?

Scented candles have been used for centuries to promote healing, enhance meditation and cleanse energies. The comforting quality of light makes them a perfect aid for any relaxation routine. In recent years more scientific studies have been done to support the aroma of candles being a contributing factor to altering mood and enducing memories.

This happens because smell profoundly affects the limbic system (aka - your brain), primarily due to the neural pathway from the olfactory bulb (gives you your sense of smell) to the limbic regions (all the touchy feely stuff), including the amygdala and hippocampus, which are crucial for emotions, memory, motivations and behavior. This direct connection allows smells to powerfully evoke emotions and trigger vivid memories, often linked to past experiences; according to Google AI.

Whiff And Nibble focuses on scents that trigger happy memories!
