Austin Street Home began as a generous gift — and a bold act of purpose.

Founded by the late Maryann Mihalopoulos, a passionate advocate for women in business, the company was originally known as Xela Aroma, a woman-owned retailer committed to empowerment through enterprise. What began as a tribute to her spirit has grown into something even more lasting.

Now known as Austin Street Home, we carry forward Maryann’s vision with intention and heart. Every candle and diffuser is hand-poured in Dallas using natural fragrances and essential oils, blending luxury with meaning.

100% of proceeds benefit Austin Street Center, one of Dallas’ longest-serving nonprofits supporting individuals experiencing homelessness. Your purchase helps provide safe shelter, daily care, and the dignity of a fresh start.

We believe in the power of small lights to spark big change — and in building a more compassionate future, one flame at a time.
