Bright Black, at 2020 Chapel Hill Road, Durham, North Carolina, is a local family business that creates candles. They use scent as a medium and candles as a platform for sharing positive narratives about Blackness.
The Bright Black Scent Showroom features in-person shopping. Bright Black also hosts art exhibits, offers workshops, and more.
Here’s what’s coming up.

Scented Reading Club
Thursday, October 23, 2025
6 p.m.
Free
Grab whatever book you’re reading right now and come over to the Bright Black Scent Showroom for a version of “drop everything and read” in community. Each participant will spend the bulk of the time silently reading the book selection they bring along that night. Then the group will spend some time discussing what books everyone is reading. There’ll be a cozy scented space, light snacks and plenty of good company.
