ABOUT THE CANDLES
THE HANDCRAFTED DIFFERENCE OF LARRABEE CANDLES
hand poured. small batch. natural soy wax candles with uniquely inspired scents..."every scent has a story"
Handcrafted with intention from start to finish for unparalleled quality
Candle making is a craft.
Candle making is a science.
Candle making is an art.
LARRABEE is what happens when craft, science & art come together to create handmade artisanal soy wax candles.
A LARRABEE candle is made by hand, not machine. Created with intention, the resulting product is a high quality candle that burns clean and delivers a consistently strong scent for the lifetime of the candle when well-maintained.
It starts with a story
Every scent has a story... a sensory memory or experience from my life that inspired me to create the scent. That personal connection continues as I hand pour each candle. Thanks to this hands-on process I can keep a watchful eye on quality, while also producing a uniqueness to each small batch.
No dyes or additives
The ingredients list for LARRABEE candles is minimal on purpose. I wanted to avoid dyes and other additives that most big candle companies use. I use high quality natural soy wax instead of paraffin with natural wicks. And I create the scents using top shelf fragrance oils that have been developed to burn clean and maintain a strong fragrance throw for the entire candle burn.
First Burn Guidance
The first time you light a LARRABEE candle, you want to make sure that you let it burn until the melted wax pool extends to the edges of the container. Ending that first burn prematurely will produce tunneling in soy wax, which will prevent the candle burning evenly in the future. Burn for 2-3 hours, but no more than 4 hours for one continuous burn.
To ensure an even burn every time, keep your wick trimmed to about 1/4 inch & remove any soot between burns. Use a snuffer instead of blowing the candle out in order to prevent any soot from falling into the wax.
The LARRABEE Candle Care Kit contains both tools (trimmer & snuffer).
Life of natural soy wax candles
LARRABEE candles embrace the imperfection that comes along with making the perfect soy wax candle without adding more than needed. Some candles may have slight imperfections, but they will burn just fine. The shelf life of a 100% soy wax candle is approximately 12-18 months when it begins to naturally deteriorate.
So for maximum quality and enjoyment, you should keep the candle out of the sunlight. Avoid getting dust on it and burn it completely within a year of purchase. The good news is that although you may notice some diminished performance, the older candle is still safe to burn

Let customers speak for us
Sitting in our home with the candle lit, it is a cozy wintry environment.
This candle is amazing. The smooth, slightly smoky peach scent is incredible. I don't think I've smelled anything like it in another candle. I love that it's unique, packaged well (in a mason jar!) and different from mass produced candles. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into creating this.
This was my first purchase and I was not disappointed! The scents were concentrated and delightfully rich (burning Dolly now) and the overall product is of excellent quality! Would not have expected anything less. Buy a few different ones as I did and enjoy the warmth and luxurious atmosphere they create. The little anecdotes that come with each scent set these apart from the competition. Thanks Larrabee!! 😊
A long lasting, holiday fragrance that compliments the season and adds a delicious room filled flavor
What I love about this set is it can be both seasonal-holiday and an anytime gift. It comes in a beautiful box and ready to gift. The scents are very calming and natural.
This cute gift set is the perfect little something for a neighbor or friend who may or may not be into candles. Affordable, beautifully packaged, and just enough candle to not be too much. Would love to see more in this form factor!
Absolutely love these Christmas Tree Farm candles! They've got a very real pine smell that is instant holiday nostalgia. Plus, they're super affordable – I've already picked up a bunch for family, coworkers, and neighbors. Seriously, they're a steal and bring in so much coziness! Oh, and the packaging is so beautiful, and it saves time since they come ready to gift.
I love these candles so much to gift. They smell incredible and it always feels good to support a small business.
Such a comforting, warm, and fun scent! One of my favorites!!!
Evergreen/pine scents are my favorite, but so many aren't well-balanced or smell fake. Snowridge is just the right blend and strength that evokes winter, nature and the holiday season. It's my new favorite candle!
It’s a five star and five orange review. So bright and citrusy! You don’t have to be a ‘Cuse fan like me to be a fan of this fresh scent.
I love all of these candles. I order them over and over. Dolly's Smoky Mountain is one of my faves!
Love these candles. Lovely scents. Soy burns nicely.
The “So Green” scent is one of my favorites. The clean, fresh scent is perfect for meditation time or an afternoon pick me up. Basically, it calms my frazzled nerves! Namaste
This candle smells so wonderful! It makes you feel relaxed and at peace and cleansed of all sin! :)
Love how these candles burn so evenly, the scent lasts the whole way through without being overpowering, and the jars are such nice quality, thick glass.
My favorite candle store!
