Olympia Candle Company — Where Heart Meets Flame
About Our Candles
+ - What makes Olympia candles different?
Every Olympia candle is hand-poured in small batches in Olympia, Washington using clean, thoughtfully chosen ingredients. We use high-quality wax blends, phthalate-free fragrance oils from trusted U.S. suppliers, and clean-burning cotton wicks.
Our focus goes beyond scent alone — we create candles designed to support moments of calm, reflection, and emotional balance in everyday life.

Classic Collection candles feature familiar, comforting scents designed for everyday use.
Premium Collection candles offer deeper, more layered scent profiles designed for slower, more immersive moments.

The Monthly Immersion Box is a limited subscription experience centered on seasonal and emotional themes. Each box may include a custom candle, wax melts, tea, reflections, playlists, and other intentional elements.
Monthly Immersion candles are exclusive to each box.
