Hi, I’m Amanda Densmore, the nose behind Woodstock Candle Co.
HOW IT BEGAN
Over 10 years ago, I melted down a pile of broken crayons, poured them into vintage teacups, and handed them out as baby shower favors. They weren’t perfect, but they sparked something in me (pun intended, and yes, there will be more of those where that came from). That tiny flicker of creativity grew into a steady flame — and eventually, a business I never could’ve dreamed up at the time.
What started as a stay-at-home mom’s hobby slowly evolved into Woodstock Candle Co., where we take scents seriously, but not ourselves. Along the way, I fell in love with the process of crafting candles that feel as good as they smell — natural soy wax, premium fragrance oils, and zero shortcuts. No additives. No fillers. Just honest-to-goodness candles, made with care.
Every single jar is hand washed, hand poured, and hand labeled because I believe those small details matter. When you strike a match, I want you to feel the intentionality, the joy, and maybe even a little bit of the chaos of the life that inspired this brand.
What once filled my kitchen table with teacups now fills homes, shops, and gift boxes across the country. And while our jars may look polished these days, our heart is the same: creating cozy, snarky, seasonal scents that connect with people — one burn at a time.
Ok, but candles are everywhere,
WHAT MAKES YOU DIFFERENT?
At Woodstock Candle Co., we believe candles should be more than wax and wick — they should tell a story, spark a memory, and add a little joy (and maybe a laugh) to your day. Here’s what sets us apart:
✨ Quality Ingredients
We use 100% natural soy wax and luxury fragrance oils — no additives, no fillers, no shortcuts. Just honest, clean burns you can feel good about.
✨ Handmade with Heart
Every jar is hand washed, hand poured, and hand labeled in small batches. It’s a labor of love that keeps quality at the center of everything we do.
✨ Scents with Personality
From cozy classics to snarky seasonal blends, our candles have as much character as the people who burn them. We take scents seriously, but not ourselves — which means you’ll always find a little wit tucked into our collections.
✨ Family + Community Fueled
What began as a stay-at-home mom’s hobby is now a family-run business rooted in Woodstock, Georgia. Our kids help label, our community inspires our collections, and every order keeps the flame alive.
✨ More Than Candles
We’re not just selling candles — we’re building moments. From seasonal launches to subscription boxes and Wicks & Sips classes, we create ways for people to gather, laugh, and connect over scent.
