Hey — I’m Austin.

Just a high school kid from Rochester…
With tubs of wax in my kitchen, scents in my notebook, and a match in my back pocket.

While most teens were lost in TikTok rabbit holes or chasing killstreaks, I was burning my fingertips on test candles —
trying to make something real.

Something that smells like nostalgia.
Burns like calm.
And ends with a surprise that sticks with you.

That’s how CharmCandleCompany started. 

Hand-poured soy wax candles. 

Tested one-by-one.

Each with a hidden surprise…

Something you can wear. Gift. Collect.
And smile every time you see it.

Because... what’s the point of having something ordinary?

Let’s be real —
Most candles overpromise and underdeliver.

They come with fancy packaging…
Then die halfway, leaving a crater and disappointment.

I hated that.
So I fixed it.

Every candle is gatekept by me.

If it doesn’t smell like heaven and melt like butter? It doesn’t make it to your porch.

So, what’s waiting inside yours?

Only one way to find out.
