Our Story

It started with fire

Candle making has always been manly.

It started with fire, after all.

Cavemen discovered fire. Vikings crafted weapons with it. Knights battled in armor forged by it.

And after thousands of years of evolution, mankind tamed the flame in a jar and made it smell delightful.

That is the legacy behind Maxwell's Candles.

Every candle is hand-poured with brute force, precision, and the spirit of every Caveman, Viking, and Knight who understood the power of a good flame.

Cavemen had bonfires.
Vikings had burning ships.
Knights had torches.

You have Maxwell's Candles.
