A Brief history of Candleberry

Fowler residence in Frankfort, Kentucky

Birthplace of Candleberry, 1997

In 1997, the very first Candleberry candles were produced for sale in our family’s store. Each candle was poured by hand and considered one-of-a-kind, carrying with it its own individual characteristics. Our mixing process was precise and deliberate, ensuring every candle was of the highest quality. These methods are still in use today, and each Candleberry candle is a unique piece of highest-caliber art.

Nearly 30 years (and thousands of customers) later, we’re still here, sharing the joy of top-notch candle-making with an ever-growing family of Candleberry lovers. Through years of hard work and testing, we’ve expanded our line to encompass a wide-range of products, expanding what we never could have imagined possible all those years ago. Our focus is still on quality: quality products, quality customer service, and quality time spent together around the glow of a Candleberry candle.

At Candleberry, we have always loved innovation. Through our different lines of irresistible fragrances, we bring highly-scented candles, room sprays, wax melts & more from across the spectrum of scents, utilizing ingredients from around the globe. From decadent best-sellers like Hot Maple Toddy to food-focused favorites like Pumpkin Praline Waffles, our Reminiscent line contains some of our most sought after–uniquely Candleberry–fragrances.

Our progress doesn’t stop there. As a Kentucky Proud company, we developed a line of Spirits products, inspired by the delicate, lively notes of bourbon. At the center of this line: the Kentucky Bourbon candle. Likewise, as a family of coffee lovers, we introduced the Coffee Shoppe collection for all those customers who, like us, can’t get enough of their favorite coffee blend. Our Nouveau line is made with balance in mind. A marriage of gentle fragrances and art-focused design, this stunning collection of products is perfect for a variety of decors and spaces. Our newest line, The Beach Collection, allows you to savor summer with your favorite tropical scents in a beautiful beach-themed jar.

The Candleberry family is so grateful to our customers for joining us on this 30-year journey. We continue to expand on what we thought possible, bringing you the highest quality candles in new and exciting scents.
