Private, corporate, milestone, client, and housewarming gifting
Luis Garcia’s background in creative production and brand building through Red Wolf shaped the standards he brought to Milan Candles. He founded the brand on February 2, 2020, with particular attention to substantial glass, branding printed directly onto the vessel, and packaging designed to open gradually. Milan made its public debut on November 11, 2021 with 555 Becoming, Black Coconut & Cashmere Wood. Garcia chose the number by instinct. He recalls sharing samples with Rolls Royce North America before presenting the composition at private events across several California locations, an opportunity that brought the debut forward. Today, 555 is his choice for making an impression, celebrating a victory or marking a defining moment.
