Tar River Candle Company was born from a desire to capture the moments we never want to forget. Based in Historic Louisburg, North Carolina, our candles are crafted to bring back the memories that warm the heart the comfort of home, the joy of family gatherings, the quiet peace of familiar places, and the stories that shape who we are.

Every candle is hand-poured in small batches using a clean coconut–soy wax blend and phthalate-free fragrances. But what truly makes them special is the intention behind each one: to stir emotion, spark nostalgia, and create new memories while honoring the old.

Our scents are more than fragrances — they’re reminders of life’s simple joys. A favorite season. A cozy room. A moment worth holding onto.

What began as a passion for fragrance and warmth has grown into a way of sharing those feelings with others. At Tar River Candle Company, we believe a candle should do more than light a room.
