Our Story
“Every great dream begins with a dreamer.”
– Harriet Tubman
Candlefind started with a dream.
In 2003, Carolyn O’Conner wanted to create a space where candle lovers could come together and share their experiences with scented candles. Candlefind soon became a safe haven to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly…all with style and grace.
Carolyn wanted to make sure that consumers were able to make informed decisions when making scented purchases – based on real information from real customers. She also wanted to hold candle companies accountable – for their products, practices, and customer service. Along her journey, she amassed a small team of “scent experts,” who helped sniff out products and give in-depth, honest reviews.
Little did she know how much this information was needed, and Candlefind grew faster than she ever imagined!
Though Candlefind has changed a few hands over the years, it remains one of the leaders in the home fragrance review industry. We’ve found a true dual purpose over the years, still educating, informing, and protecting the consumer, while also helping small candle businesses promote or launch their companies. We know most small business owners pour their hearts and souls out into their products, and we love to help them reach a niche audience as they watch their dreams grow.
Because it truly does all start with a dream.
I’ve been a part of Candlefind since 2007, helping to feed my candle addiction unchecked. I’ve grown on this scented journey, learning that the strength of a scented candle is just one part of the story. I’ve learned to develop a deep appreciation for all types of candles, as well as the creativity and hard work it takes to make them. My passion for discovering high quality candles and wax melts is what I share with others through Candlefind. I’m thrilled you decided to stop by & hope you become a part of the Candlefind family.
Some Things About Me:
I can’t thank you enough for visiting our website. Candlefind is a true passion of mine, and I absolutely love what I do. However, I know we would be nothing without your continued support, feedback, and encouragement. I can personally assure you that we take all your comments and suggestions under consideration as we continue to grow. This will make Candlefind more about you than me…and that will mean “mission accomplished”!
Happy Candle Burning!

I make candles/wax melts/other scented stuff. Can I send you products to review?

Do you accept guest posts?
