In "The Office", Jan Levenson starts a company selling what product?

In “The Office,” Jan Levinson starts a company selling scented candles called Serenity by Jan.

Jan launches the business after her career at Dunder Mifflin collapses and she moves into Michael Scott’s condominium. Her home-based candle operation becomes a running joke because she treats it as a serious entrepreneurial venture while producing candles that the other characters find unpleasant. The business is especially prominent in the season-four episode “Dinner Party.”

During that episode, Jan displays her candles around the condo and pressures Michael to seek investors. Michael pitches the opportunity to Jim and Andy, asking for a large investment, and Andy agrees. The candles’ awkward scents, Jan’s intense salesmanship, and the couple’s increasingly volatile relationship make the business central to the episode’s uncomfortable comedy.

The name is sometimes confused with Jan’s other personal projects or with a generic aromatherapy business. The canonical product is scented candles, sold under the fictional brand Serenity by Jan. The company also reappears as part of Jan’s later life after her separation from Michael.
