    YOU'LL LOVE THIS SCENT IF...

    For those who love spice, warmth, and a hint of dark oak, this is the quintessential Christmas scent, a festive blend that wraps your home in that unmistakable “holiday feeling.”

    This is our founder's favorite 'Christmas blend' as it truly reminds her of childhood holiday memories and magic!

    SCENT THROW: High

    Scent throw refers to how far and strong a candle’s fragrance fills your space. A high throw offers a deep, bold aroma, while a low throw creates a softer, more subtle scent experience.

    The size of the candle also plays a role in scent throw. Our Travel Candles are perfect for smaller spaces like guest bathrooms, while our Signature Candles are ideal for bedrooms or home offices. For larger, open areas—like a kitchen and living room combo or a two-story great room—our Luxury Candles are crafted to fill the space beautifully.

    Our Clean, Pure Ingredients

    At Applewood Candle Co., we believe you deserve to feel good about what you're breathing in - and we think clean fragrance should be a given, not a luxury. That’s why every candle we pour is rooted in one simple promise: clean fragrance, handcrafted in small batches with care using only the best ingredients for you and your family (yes, your pups, too!).

    We’re proud to be fully transparent about the ingredients we use - because your home should be a place to relax, not worry about what’s in the air.

    Why Clean Ingredients Matter

    In 2019, when our founder, Allison, learned about the harmful toxins hidden in conventional candles (yes, even the ones claiming to be "clean"), everything changed. What began as a personal mission to find safe, non-toxic scents that she could burn around her pup, Magnolia, became Applewood Candle Co. - a luxury home fragrance brand that marries wellness with beauty.

    We know the reality - many mass-market candles still contain phthalates, carcinogens, and Prop 65 chemicals. No one should be exposed to harmful ingredients - plain and simple. Whether you’re health-conscious, have pets or little ones, or just want to feel good about what’s in your home, no one should have to compromise safety for scent. So we chose a different path: slow-crafted, high-integrity ingredients, even if it means a more complex production process and a smaller scent library.

    Our commitment to clean, sustainable candle-making isn’t just about our clients - it’s personal. Every single clean ingredient candle is hand-poured by myself or a member of my family, which means we’re working closely with these ingredients every single day. We choose the highest-quality, non-toxic materials not only to protect your home, but to protect ours, too. Because if it’s not safe enough for our own hands, our own air, and our own family - it’s not going in our candles, no exceptions.

    Clean Ingredients You Can Trust

    Pure Fragrances
    Our signature scent blends are free from phthalates, parabens, carcinogens, Prop 65 chemicals, mutagens, and other known toxins. Just the good stuff - safely sourced and beautifully blended. 

    Coconut-Soy Wax
    Our natural wax is made from renewable, plant-based resources for a smooth, clean burn. It’s biodegradable, vegan, and supports sustainable farming practices.

    Crackling Wooden Wicks
    We use sustainably-sourced, FSC-certified wood wicks that create a soft, ambient crackle - no coatings, no additives, just the cozy sound of comfort.

    The Applewood Standard

    You shouldn't have to choose between clean ingredients and aesthetic appeal. That’s why every product we create is thoughtfully designed to elevate your space and your wellbeing. From wax to wick, from scent to vessel, we consciously craft each candle to be as safe as it is stunning.

    From our studio to your home, we believe in full transparency and complete peace of mind. With thoughtfully chosen ingredients and a commitment to clean living, these are clean ingredient candles you can truly trust and feel good about!

    Candle Care

    A beautiful burn is a mindful ritual. With a few simple steps, your Applewood candle will glow cleanly, safely, and luxuriously - bringing calm to your space and care to the ones you love (pups included!).

    Trim Your Wick (Every Time)

    For a clean, steady flame and minimal soot, trim your wooden wick to ⅛–3⁄16 in before every light. Use our Applewood Wick Trimmer: open trimmer fully, rest the base on the wax surface, and snip. We like to trim from left-to-right and then right-to-left for a perfectly even surface.

    Why it matters: an untrimmed wick can self-extinguish or burn too high.

    If the flame is too high (over 1 in): your wick is likely too long or the candle is in a draft. Extinguish, allow the wax to fully solidify, trim, and relight.

    Practice Safe Candle Burning

    • Always trim to ⅛ in before lighting.

    • Never leave a burning candle unattended or use it as a nightlight.

    • Burn for 2–4 hours at a time; never longer than 4 hours.

    • Let the wax fully solidify and allow the vessel to cool before relighting (allow ample time - about the length of an evening).

    • Keep away from drafts, vents, ceiling fans, and open windows.

    • Place on a level, heat-resistant surface (a marble or ceramic coaster is ideal).

    • Keep away from clothing, paper, curtains, and anything flammable.

    • Keep out of reach of children and pets.

    • Stop using when the silver wick clip is visible or ½ in of wax remains.

    • Burning multiple candles? Space them 6+ inches apart.

    • Using an air purifier (hello, Dyson)? Great - just keep your candle out of the direct airflow for the most even, beautiful burn.

    The Melt Pool (Your First Burn Matters)

    For best results, let the melted wax nearly reach the edges of the vessel—usually 2–4 hours.
    With coconut-soy wax, a full melt pool may not appear until you’re halfway through the candle’s life - that’s normal and often self-corrects, contributing to a longer, cleaner burn.

    Never Burn Longer Than 4 Hours

    Burn sessions of 2–4 hours keep your candle performing at its peak. Longer burns can overheat the vessel, dull the fragrance, and create unsafe conditions.

    Quick Troubleshooting

    • Tiny or sputtering flame: Trim to expose fresh wood and remove loose char before relighting.

    • Tunneling early on: Extend your next burn (up to 4 hours) to encourage an even melt; avoid drafts.

    • Soot or smoking: The wick is too long or the candle’s in a draft - extinguish, trim, and reposition.

    Restyle & Reuse Your Vessel

    When ½ inch of wax remains (or the wick clip shows), your candle has reached the end of its life.

    To clean: carefully pour hot water into the vessel, let it cool so the wax floats and hardens, then remove. Repeat if needed. Wipe with a paper towel and wash with mild dish soap; let dry.

    Reuse ideas:

    • Makeup brush or cotton-round holder

    • Desk catch-all for pens and paperclips

    • Tea-light or match jar

    • Small floral vase or succulent pot (add drainage stones)

    • Bathroom canister for bath salts or swabs

    • Entry tray for keys and keepsakes


    Applewood candles are hand-poured in small batches in Metamora, Michigan, with clean, non-toxic, pet-conscious ingredients - always free from phthalates, parabens, Prop 65 chemicals, toxins, and carcinogens. Trim, tend, and enjoy the quiet luxury of a safer, more beautiful burn.
