P.F. Candle Co. started as a one-woman Etsy shop in 2008 and has grown into one of the most recognized independent home fragrance brands in the United States. Every product is still made in-house at their California factory using 100% domestically-grown soy wax, phthalate-free fragrance oils, and cotton-core wicks.
The brand’s philosophy is rooted in conscious craftsmanship: vegan, cruelty-free formulas with minimal packaging; employees receiving fully subsidized healthcare, free metro passes, and competitive wages; and an ongoing commitment to reducing their environmental footprint.
Their fragrances are intentionally formulated to be welcoming and non-irritating — home scents that even the most sensitive noses can enjoy. From the woody warmth of Teakwood & Tobacco to the coastal freshness of Golden Coast, each scent tells a story rooted in real places and experiences.
