About Us

Witch Nose Candle Company is a small-batch, family owned and operated candle business.

I, the 'Witch Nose' herself (Melissa), have been buying + enjoying scented candles from all of the large, major companies for 20+ years. Although there are some candles that I truly adore from these places, I've found that a majority disappoint me with their predictability (meaning that the different companies carry the same type scents, only with different names), lack of scent strength, boring labels that don't match or have nothing to do with the actual scent of the candle, too much sooting, etc. Also, I grew weary of only being able to obtain "spooky" scents in the Fall,  around the time of Halloween. I wanted to create scents and imagery that are dark/gothic-inspired and beautiful that would be the antithesis of every complaint I've ever had with the 'other guys'.

So, I said to my husband (Chris) and daughter (Kara), "Let's start a candle company!" and they were on board.

Every scent we offer is our own, unique blend created with a variety of oils from reputable suppliers. We will NEVER just use one, singular fragrance oil from a manufacturer, smack our label on it and claim it as our own.

I've always been passionate about great smells...they put me in an instant fantastic mood! Please give our candles a try, and let us share our joy + my passion with you!
