Brand Name: Pine & Ember
Industry: Home & Lifestyle, Candles, and Aromatherapy
Mission: To transform your living space into a sanctuary through the art of scent, inspired by the natural world and the simple comforts of home.
The Beginning: A Quiet Cabin in the Woods
It all started in a small cabin nestled deep in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, where the scent of pine trees and wood smoke filled the air. A woman named Lila lived there, seeking solace in the natural beauty around her. The world outside was fast-paced, noisy, and chaotic, but here, in the quiet embrace of the forest, time seemed to slow. Every evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Lila would light a candle made from beeswax, infused with oils she had personally gathered from local botanicals.
It was during one of these peaceful moments that she had an idea: Why not share this simple pleasure with others? A candle, after all, was more than just a source of light. It was a symbol of calm, a vehicle for creating atmosphere, and a means to reconnect with nature — a way to ground oneself in the chaos of the modern world.
And thus, Pine & Ember was born — a brand dedicated to creating handcrafted candles that not only fill your space with beautiful fragrance but also bring a sense of serenity and peace to your life.
The Essence of Pine & Ember: Nature-Inspired, Handcrafted Candles
At Pine & Ember, we believe that home isn’t just a place; it’s a feeling. It’s the warm, comforting embrace of a familiar scent. It’s the soft glow of candlelight flickering in a quiet corner after a long day. It’s the earthy, soothing aroma of pine needles, the sweet warmth of vanilla, the smokiness of amber.
Each candle is an invitation to pause, breathe deeply, and be present.
We handcraft every candle with care, using only the finest natural ingredients — soy wax, beeswax, and 100% pure essential oils. Our scents are inspired by the natural world: forest walks in the crisp morning air, the smoky scent of a wood-burning stove, the warm comfort of a cup of tea on a rainy afternoon. We create fragrances that evoke memories, stir emotions, and transport you to peaceful moments in nature.
The Candle Collections: A Journey Through the Seasons
We don’t just make candles; we craft experiences. Each of our collections is designed to take you on a journey — through the seasons, through time, and through your own memories.

The Pine & Ember Philosophy: Crafting Connection, One Candle at a Time
At Pine & Ember, we’re not just about selling candles — we’re about creating meaningful connections. Each candle is a symbol of our commitment to sustainability, authenticity, and quality. We hand-pour every candle in small batches, ensuring that each one is made with attention to detail and love.
Our ingredients are ethically sourced, and we use recyclable, eco-friendly packaging because we believe in preserving the beauty of nature that inspires our scents. We’re also committed to supporting small businesses, so we work closely with local artisans to create our unique wooden candle wicks and custom glass containers.
Our mission is simple: to bring the calming power of nature into your home, one candle at a time.
