Started in 2016, Sam set out to create a candle company, that was different to the rest. Compass Candles prides itself on creating candles using natural ingredients such as soy wax and natural cedar wooden wicks, whilst keeping the candles as affordable to everyone as possible.Sam started by making candles in simple glass jars for family, friends and work colleagues. Some turned out better than others and after many ‘trial and error’ attempts, Sam was able to perfect the art of melting the wax, balancing the scent and creating the all important scent-throw.The hobby quickly evolved into a business with requests coming in thick and fast from friends and family to create more scents and use different vessels for the wax to be poured into. We believe that our 280g Classic Candles can compete against the best in the business, our scents smell exactly like the label says, with Black Plum & Rhubarb still being a firm favourite all year round. There is nothing that frustrates us more than picking up a candle and it not smelling anything like the label suggests!
