Olives + Elephants

REGINA MARIANO

Regina Mariano is the founder of Olives + Elephants, a luxury candle brand inspired by her deep love of fragrance, travel, and design. With a background in fashion PR and interior design, she has always been drawn to the transformative power of scent and how it evokes memories of places and experiences. Her journey to launching Olives + Elephants was deeply personal—sparked by a passion for craftsmanship and the desire to create something meaningful. The brand was four years in the making, influenced by her time in the fashion and design world, her global travels, and the loss of her beloved Yorkie, Olives, who was her constant travel companion. Regina’s commitment to sustainability and philanthropy is woven into the brand’s DNA. As a longtime patron of Tusk Trust, she has always been passionate about wildlife conservation. Through partnerships with 1% for the Planet and Tusk Trust, Olives + Elephants ensures that each candle does more than just scent a space—it supports a greater purpose.

The mission of Olives + Elephants is to transport people through scent and storytelling, evoking the nostalgia of travel while making a meaningful impact. Rooted in sustainability and philanthropy, we are committed to giving back to wildlife conservation through 1% for the Planet and Tusk Trust, ensuring that every purchase contributes to the preservation of our planet’s natural heritage.
