Hand-Poured Appalachian Candles, Made in Virginia

Autumn Laurel & Co. is an independent Virginia scent house creating candles rooted in the mountains we call home. Our fragrance stories begin with real landscapes, seasons, traditions, and memories—from morning mist and shaded trails to old books, wild berries, harvest kitchens, and evergreen winter nights.

We believe a candle should smell like somewhere, not simply something. Each fragrance is designed to bring a particular mood and sense of place into everyday life.

Our Coconut-Apricot Wax Blend

Our core candle line is hand-poured with a premium coconut-apricot wax blend. We chose this blend for its smooth finish, fragrance performance, and even burn when paired with a properly selected wick and good candle care. Wax is part of how we make each candle; the heart of Autumn Laurel is the Appalachian place and story behind every scent.

Candle Care

• Trim the wick to approximately ¼ inch before each burn.
• Allow the wax to melt evenly across the surface during the first burn to help prevent tunneling.
• Burn your candle no longer than four hours at a time.
• Keep away from drafts, pets, children, and flammable materials.
• Always burn on a heat-resistant surface and never leave a burning candle unattended.
