Story & craftsmanship
P.F. Candle Co. was founded in 2008 as a one-woman Etsy shop by Kristen Pumphrey, later growing into an independent brand run with Thomas Neuberger.
Today, all products are developed, produced, and shipped in-house from their California factory. This vertical approach allows full control over quality, from fragrance formulation to final production.
A rare evolution: from small-scale craft to global recognition, while staying rooted in hands-on production.
Fragrance as design
P.F. Candle Co. is built on a clear idea: fragrance is an extension of home design. It should complement a space, not dominate it.
Each scent is formulated to be balanced, non-irritating, and suitable for everyday use. The goal is to create atmosphere rather than intensity.
The result is a collection of modern, wearable scents designed to fit naturally into daily life.
Ingredients & formulation
P.F. Candle Co. candles are made with 100% domestically grown soy wax and lead-free cotton-core wicks.
Fragrance blends combine natural and safe synthetic ingredients to ensure consistency, performance, and safety. All products are vegan, cruelty-free, and free from phthalates and parabens.
A deliberate approach: prioritizing safety, sustainability, and scent quality over marketing claims.
