During a time of global uncertainty, Christine (Chriss) Starr found comfort in the familiar scents of home. Growing up in a Jamaican household, home fragrance was a cherished ritual—thanks to her mom. Lighting a candle, burning incense, or spritzing a room spray marked the end of Saturday morning cleaning and signaled it was time to rest and recharge. But during the pandemic, when home became the center of life, scent took on new meaning. It became a way to mark transitions—from work to play, school to family time, chaos to calm.

That’s when Everything Chriss was born. Inspired by the Jamaican expression “Everything Criss”—a warm, reassuring phrase meaning “everything is all right”—Chriss created a line of custom-blended home and body fragrances designed to bring peace, warmth, and balance to any space. Her brand reimagines self-care and home rituals through the transformative power of scent.

As a tribute to her heritage, she weaves Adinkra symbols into her packaging and branding. These West African symbols give each product deeper significance, reminding us that scent is more than sensory—it’s ancestral, intentional, and deeply connected to story.
