About Us
Proverbify Mercantile was born from the belief that scent can do more than smell good — it can tell a story, set an intention, and stir the soul. Inspired by the quiet power of proverbs, affirmations, and ancestral wisdom, every product we create is designed to bring a sense of peace, presence, and purpose into your space.
The Story Behind the Scent
It all started with an Oprah Magazine.
In the early 2000s, during one of the roughest seasons of my life, I found solace in the quote cards tucked inside every issue. I tore them out by their perforated edges, saved my favorites, and eventually created a full collage to hang on my kitchen/dining room wall — my own little gallery of hope in a tiny apartment.
That simple act of collecting and displaying words of wisdom became a quiet ritual. And over time, it sparked a lifelong love for quotes, proverbs, and the power of meaningful words.
Proverbify Mercantile is the evolution of that moment — a modern mercantile filled with scented goods and motivational sayings, created to offer others the same comfort, clarity, and fire I once needed myself.
