King Energy Only is a Bronx-made home fragrance-centered lifestyle brand built around one simple idea: everyone should feel confident in who they are and the space they create around themselves.
The brand was founded by Bronx native Tasliym Abdul-Hamid, who started KEO after years of pouring into other people while rarely creating that same space for herself. Stepping away from the traditional nine-to-five path gave her the opportunity to build something of her own, starting with handmade candles.
What began as a personal creative outlet quickly became a brand. Tasliym began developing scent blends using essential oils, creating fragrances that felt personal and intentional rather than simply filling a room. The candles became more than something to burn. Each one was paired with a curated playlist, creating a connection between scent, sound, and the atmosphere you choose to create.
As KEO grew, so did the vision.
Today, King Energy Only creates small-batch candles and room sprays made with essential oil-based scent blends, along with interactive experiences that bring people together through fragrance and creativity.
From making a candle from scratch to creating a personalized scent at the KEO Scent Bar, we give people the opportunity to slow down, explore their creativity, and make something that feels like their own.
What started with one person creating space for herself has grown into a brand that creates space for others.
