About the House
We formulate.That is the whole difference.
Pretty Lux Co. is a Luxury Formulation House in Middle Georgia. Every fragrance we sell was developed on our own bench, in our own lab, by our own hands.
Origin
It started downtown, in 2020.
Pretty Lux Co. opened in April 2020 through NewTown Macon's Downtown Diversity Initiative, in a year when almost nothing was opening. The first collection was built around one idea: fragrance should feel like an escape and a homecoming at the same time.
What began as five accords is now a house with a lab, a studio, a teaching arm, and a manufacturing protocol of its own.

The Founder
Anikitia Abram
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
Anikitia founded Pretty Lux Co. to prove that a luxury fragrance house could be built from the bench up, in Middle Georgia, by the person actually doing the chemistry. She is the inventor of the Sovereign Silk manufacturing protocol and the architect of the house's three division structure.
Her work sits where formulation meets industry. She builds the products, the systems that manufacture them, and the curriculum that teaches the next set of chemists how it is done.

The Science
Why our candles behave differently.
Most candles fail in the same places. The surface pits as it cools, the scent fades halfway down the vessel, and the last hour smells like nothing. Those are curing problems, not fragrance problems.
Sovereign Silk is our patent pending thermodynamic curing and crystallization system. It controls how the wax crystallizes as it sets, which keeps the surface smooth, the burn even, and the throw consistent.
It is the reason we can promise the same performance in every single pour.
At the bench
Come make it yourself.
Everything you have just read about happens at a bench you can sit at. Same materials, same protocols, same chemist. You leave with what you made.
The Candle Collective
Two 8oz candles, hand poured with wooden wicks, in the accord you build at our bar. Ninety minutes, cured on the Sovereign Silk protocol, and both go home with you the same day.
