Our Story
Where It Began
Every scent tells a story — a memory wrapped in soft light, an emotion carried on the air, a moment waiting to be relived. At The Fox and Owl Candle Company, we believe fragrance is more than an aroma; it’s a feeling, a connection to the past and the present.
What started as a simple creative hobby quickly became a family tradition — hand‑pouring candles for loved ones and watching their faces light up when a familiar scent brought them somewhere special. Over time, that joy grew into a desire to share the experience with others.
Two makers, a dash of whimsy, and a shared love for scents that wander off the beaten path — Fox & Owl was never meant to be normal, and that’s exactly why it feels like home.
Meet the Makers
Kevin — The Fox
“I’ve never been drawn to normal scents — I love the unusual, the mysterious, the blends that make you stop and smile.”
Kevin is the founder and master scent‑blender behind Fox & Owl — the steady, thoughtful maker who brings each fragrance to life. Once immersed in the world of numbers, he discovered a deeper calling in the quiet art of scent creation. What began as a simple hobby quickly grew into a passion for crafting fragrances that feel familiar, comforting, and nostalgic.
He’s known for leaning into the unexpected — the unusual scent profiles, the mysterious blends, the combinations that make people pause and smile. Kevin often jokes that “we’re not normal,” and it’s true in the best way. His curiosity and instinct guide him toward fragrances that stand apart, offering something a little different, a little intriguing, and always intentional.
Focused, curious, and endlessly refining his craft, Kevin approaches each blend with care — adjusting notes, testing burn profiles, and ensuring every candle carries the warmth and character our customers love. He is the “Fox,” guided by creativity and a love for the beautifully unconventional.
Victoria — The Owl
“Creativity is my quiet place — from candle design to handcrafted cards, I love making small things that feel personal.”
Victoria is the artistic soul of our brand — bringing the vision to life through graphic design, curated displays, and an unwavering passion for pairing customers with their perfect scent. Her greatest joy is seeing someone’s face light up when they discover a fragrance that speaks to them.
Alongside her work in the studio, Victoria also creates handcrafted mixed‑media cards — each one designed with watercolor, ink, digital illustration, and acrylic details. These one‑of‑a‑kind pieces are available at our market booth and change with the seasons, offering customers a small, heartfelt keepsake to pair with their favorite candle. Every card reflects her love of quiet creativity and the belief that handmade art carries a warmth all its own.
How We Craft
In our home studio — once just a spare bedroom — we hand‑pour every candle in small batches using pure USA‑grown soy wax, clean fragrance oils and essential oil blends, and sustainably sourced wooden wicks. No machines, no shortcuts — just craftsmanship, care, and a little bit of beautiful chaos.
Our candles are more than products; they’re stories woven from scent and flame, waiting to be shared.
