Waxhouse started the way a lot of good things do, with a need to break free.

What began as an escape from a boring job quickly turned into something bigger. An obsession with building a brand that actually meant something. We didn’t want to do what everyone else was doing. We wanted candles that felt different. Candles that made you stop and think, yep, I need 14 of these immediately.

Back in 2019 and 2020, when we first started experimenting with food inspired scents, it wasn’t the trend it is now. But we knew we were onto something. We got to work crafting candles that smelled like the things you crave most. Fresh bakes. Sweet treats. Slow Sunday mornings. Gone were the days of predictable florals. That just wasn’t us.

Over time, Waxhouse became known as the home of the OG foodie candle, and we’re genuinely proud of that. Every candle was hand poured to stand out, not blend in. But it was never just about wax and fragrance. It was about moments. Little flashes of nostalgia. Comfort after a long day. Setting the mood for a movie night or a quiet afternoon with your favourite book. Waxhouse flickering away in the background of real life.

More than 30,000 orders later, what started as a side idea became something far bigger than we ever imagined.

And now, it’s time for the next chapter.

This decision hasn’t been rushed or dramatic. It’s simply the right time. After years of building, pouring, packing and chasing growth, we’re choosing to shift our focus toward family and the life happening outside the studio walls.

Waxhouse has been an incredible journey. But like all good chapters, this one has a natural end.

We’re proud of what we built. We’re grateful for every order, every message, every photo of a candle lit in your home. And if you’re reading this, you’ve been part of the story.

As we close our doors and sell through the final batches, we do it with gratitude and excitement for what’s ahead.

Thank you for being here. Truly.
