• Hand-made in (very) small batches

    Every candle is made by hand with care in our studio located in downtown Norfolk, Virginia. We perfect every one for clean, even burns and consistent scent throw.

  • Clean, sustainable ingredients

    We use 100% soy and coconut/apricot/soy wax blends, phthalate-free fragrances, and lead-free wicks because we care.

  • Inspired by memories, rooted in stories

    Each fragrance is a vessel of memory — a way to pause, to remember, and to keep time through scent and light.

Why choose The Lost Wax Company?

We believe a candle should do more than smell nice—it should mean something.

Every fragrance we create begins with a story: a whisper of memory, a spark of imagination, a question waiting to be unraveled.

Our mission is to craft objects that connect art, scent, and ritual—reminding you to pause, to breathe, and to let the story unfold.

At its heart, sweet apple and wild berries mingle with fresh green leaves, conjuring memories of orchard strolls and festival treats. A comforting base of toasted pecan and rich cedar anchors the scent in earthy warmth, evoking the cozy hush that follows a long day of harvest revelry.
