Celebrating the Freedom & Spirit of Jazz

The Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival has become a special part of my creative journey. My first year as a vendor was in 2025, and what an incredible experience it was! More than 10,000 people attended, creating an atmosphere filled with jazz, culture, creativity, and community.

The response to our products exceeded our expectations. We actually ran out of products to sell—especially our handcrafted soy-based candles! This year, we’re coming back bigger, better, and more prepared, with an expanded collection of fragrances, candles, soaps, custom gifts, and jazz-inspired creations.

Our collections also celebrate the Divine Nine, with handcrafted candles and specialty products designed for fraternity and sorority events. Some of our signature fragrances include Mahogany Teakwood, a rich and sophisticated favorite traditionally selected for many of our men’s collections, along with April Showers, Tropical Sweaters, and Santos Patchouli.

We also customize fragrances for special events. For example, for a Delta regional event, April Showers was featured as the signature fragrance for the Delta collection, while Mahogany Teakwood continues to be a favorite for many of our fraternity and men’s products.

My connection to the Norfolk Waterfront Jazz Festival is even more meaningful because my uncle, Jay Lang, serves as the MC, bringing his voice, personality, and passion for jazz to the experience.

Through Soap Opera Soapz, Opera Wicks, Divine Nine collections, and my custom creations, my goal is to create products that capture the freedom, rhythm, soul, sophistication, and energy of jazz.

Hear the Jazz. Feel the Vibe. Smell the Experience. Take It Home.™
