Ember & Oak began as a way to make a small apartment feel like somewhere worth coming home to — now every candle we ship carries the same idea.
A few years back, one bad-smelling apartment and a lot of trial-and-error candle kits from the craft store turned into a genuine hobby. Friends kept asking for "just one more" of whatever scent was on the stove that week, and eventually a hobby became a small batch, and a small batch became Ember & Oak.
We still test every new scent the same way we did on day one — in our own home, on a Sunday, until it's right.
Small details, but they're the whole reason people come back.
No paraffin, no parabens — just a clean, even burn.
No lead or zinc cores, ever. Just cotton, the way it should be.
Poured generously so you actually get your money's worth.
24 candles at a time, hand-poured and hand-labeled.
Wash it out and it's a great little jar for anything else.
Snug packaging so it arrives in one piece, every time.
