Village Candle History

"Fragrances from Village Candle® are perfect for the home, because that’s where they were born.
As a young man, our founder remembers taking his mother’s leftover canning paraffin and pouring it into milk cartons to make candles. That experience made a strong impression on him that would factor into his life for decades to come. Fast forward to 1993. While researching career possibilities at his local library in Brunswick, Maine, Paul came across a candle making article that rekindled the dormant memories of candle making all those years ago in his mother’s kitchen. That fateful day at the library ended up being the beginning of something very special. Very quickly, a boyhood hobby bloomed into a passion, and that passion became a calling.
From a small two-burner stove top, those first candles made with care and Maine craftsmanship, were the sparks that fueled a global fragrance brand that is finding its way into millions of homes around the world.

Village Candle® was born."

The Village Candle Vision

"When our customers are creating their home experience, they are conceiving more than just a place to live. They are composing a place that holds the people they love, the things that make them smile, the memories that make them strong. They are surrounding themselves with the personal elements that are most important to them. They are building a village. And your village is what you choose to make it."

"At Village Candle® we believe in the power that fragrance holds to inspire and build around us the village of our choosing. One that will renew, empower and fortify the space around us. It is our sincere hope that people, the world over, choose Village Candle® to be a part of defining their home and their village."

Why Two Wicks?

"Over the years, many of our Village Candle® customers have been intrigued when they discover our candles have two wicks, instead of just one. Many consumers would write to us asking, "Are dual wicks really better than one?" It certainly has been our pleasure here at Village Candle® to answer, Absolutely!"

"Our Founder pioneered the Dual Wick™ Technology back in the early 90’s, after spending countless hours researching, creating and testing the complexities behind the art of candle-making. He discovered that two wicks offered three significant advantages over single wick designs:"

1. "Dual wicks offer a cleaner more efficient burn"
2. "Dual wicks create better fragrance effusion"
3. "Our candles offer double the ambiance created by the glow of dual wicks"

"In addition, the special design of the smaller diameter wicks ensure that every Village Candle® has been engineered to burn more efficiently and create less soot. Our Dual Wick™ candles burn the candle wax so efficiently that there is very little wax left on the sides of the jar, and when burned properly, no tunneling. Less waste and efficiency in burning equates to a better quality and value for your money. We mastered the technology of our two wicks to create better fragrance effusion throughout the life of the candle. Dual wicks ensure enhanced release of your favorite fragrances with twice the ambiance and reassuring glow; of single wick candles."

"Village Candle® strives to create the best products using the finest quality ingredients available to us. Please be assured that we care about your concerns for safety, well-being and the health of yourself, family and friends. Therefore, at Village Candle®, we have a firm commitment to quality and safety, never using lead wicks. Our wicks are safe and we use only the finest quality paper and pure cotton core wicks to manufacture our candles."

"It is with great American pride that all candles from Village Candle® are manufactured here in the USA."

"We hope you will continue to enjoy Village Candle® products with the confidence and knowledge that the quality as well as the safety of each Village Candle® has met our own high standards and vigorous testing, with your satisfaction in mind."
