About Us

Born from the heart of creativity and passion, Burn Chic infuses sophistication and excitement into the world of candles. Founded by model and actress Alise Willis, who has captivated audiences since she was 16 by gracing both the screen and the runway, Burn Chic brings the glitz and glamour of the entertainment world to the art of candle-making. Alise’s impressive résumé includes standout roles in popular productions like Ruthless, where she played the key character Lacey for five seasons, and Coming 2 America, where she shone as a Royal Bather. She also appeared in the Netflix series Echoes, showcasing her versatility and talent across both film and television.

Throughout her modeling career, Alise has worked with prestigious brands, including L’Oréal, Valentino, Tommy Hilfiger, and Calvin Klein, and has graced the pages of magazines such as O, Cosmopolitan, and Glamour, and Seventeen. She was signed by Ford Models before spending two transformative years in Europe and South Africa, where she walked the runway in major fashion shows across cities like Paris, London, and New York City.

Drawing from her experience in the glitzy entertainment industry, Alise brings an unparalleled flair for drama and beauty to the art of candle-making. Her journey began as a personal ritual to find balance amid the chaos of auditions and set calls. Today, it has blossomed into a meaningful venture, crafting luxurious, organic candles from her artisan space in Beverly Hills.

At Burn Chic, our vision is simple: luxury doesn’t have to follow the rules. We embrace the excitement of fun and sophistication, where each scent tells a story, rekindling nostalgia and evoking memories. Lighting a Burn Chic candle means stepping into a sensory experience that elevates the everyday.

Each candle is made in small batches, using 100% natural ingredients to transform your space into a sanctuary of warmth and light. Whether unwinding after a busy day or setting the scene for something magical, each candle is more than just a scent—it’s a mood, a moment, a little slice of cherished memories.

Because we believe that luxury doesn’t have to be exclusive—it can be woven into the fabric of our everyday lives. At Burn Chic, we celebrate the notion that every day should have a spark of glamour, infused with the elegance and creativity that Alise brings from her journey as a fashion model and a Hollywood actress.

Light, Chic, Action!
