The Original Candle Co.: A Journey from Passion to Business

Where It All Began: The Story Behind The Original Candle Co.

Sometimes, the best things in life come from unexpected moments. The Original Candle Co. is more than just a home fragrance brand—it's a passion project born from a simple desire to create, find purpose, and share something special with the people around me.

From Small Beginnings to a Growing Business

I'm Michael, the founder of The Original Candle Co.. This journey started during a low point in my life, when I needed something to keep myself busy and bring a little light into my world—quite literally. What began as an experiment in making candles and wax melts for friends and family soon grew into something bigger than I ever imagined.

Through late nights pouring wax, tweaking fragrances, and perfecting every detail, I slowly turned my passion into a business. It wasn’t always easy—especially juggling everything while getting married, moving house, and caring for our five energetic pets. Three dogs and two cats keep life chaotic, but they also bring joy and inspiration (especially Paige, our Labrador puppy, who never fails to test my patience!).

Building a Brand Rooted in Passion

Every candle, wax melt, mist spray and car fragrance diffusers from The Original Candle Co. carries the same dedication that fueled those early creations. From selecting premium fragrance oils to ensuring eco-friendly practices, our mission is to craft high-quality, luxurious scents that transform spaces and evoke emotions.

More than just a business, this journey has taught me resilience, creativity, and the importance of finding beauty in the smallest things. And now, I'm honored to share it with you.

Thank You for Being Part of the Story

Whether you're lighting a candle to unwind after a long day or filling your home with rich, beautiful scents, know that every product from The Original Candle Co. is made with passion, care, and a whole lot of love. Thank you for being part of this journey—this is just the beginning.
