We have seen that the pandemic brought out some of the most creative candle and wax melt makers as they sought refuge from the depths of uncertainty and the mind-numbing lockdowns. It is from these depths that Chaos Candle Company was born – and continues to rise. They have sought to have us learn to embrace the darkness, learn from it, and to enjoy the beauty that lies within. 

A Closer Look at Chaos Candle Company

Chaos Candle Company has products that are inspired by Greek mythology, with a gothic vibe and overall asthetic. The owner, S. E. Carter, founded the company in 2020, looking to inspire and encourage people to embrace the strength and beauty of the darkness. Carter is deaf and has a powerful mission to uplift and encourage the deaf community through creativity and entrepreneurship. Why Greek mythology? Because there is an amazing power of storytelling, and the products are carefully created to acknowledge and foster this notion.
Our candle collections draw inspiration from the chaotic void of creation, featuring rich, dark earthy tones and intricate designs that evoke a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Products Offered

The majority of the candles are single-wicked, 9 ounce jars. They also carry a smaller collection of 3-wick tumbler style candles. They carry a line of 2- and 4-ounce room sprays in all of their scents. You are also able to purchase their unique perfume fragrances to carry the mystique with you throughout the day.

EREBUS

The candles from Chaos definitely have that goth and mysterious vibe, with the EREBUS candle looking so luxurious and chic. The glass candle jar was black matte and had a screw-top lid. The label was stunning and had a vintage air to it, with the company and scent names clearly displayed. The wax was white and there was a single wick. 

The scent description reads: Where the warm spice of cinnamon and nutmeg dances through the air, evoking the primal energy of the void. A whisper of apples intertwines with the smoky richness of sandalwood, grounding the scent in an earthy mystique. Top: Cinnamon, Nutmeg; Middle: Apple; Base: Sandalwood

This candle was amazing! The scent was warm and cozy…it smelled a lot like an apple cinnamon candle plus. The warmth of the sandalwood amped up the vibe and made me want to wrap myself in this fragrance. The candle had a slow burn but I had no difficulty getting a full, even wax melt pool. The scent itself was moderately strong (3.5 out of 5) with a great scent throw (4 out of 5). 

Heartfelt Glow

My Heartfelt Glow candle looked similar to my EREBUS candle but the label was a bit different. It  looked very dreamy, less vintage, but it was still very beautiful. The cold sniff was amazing! I smelled floral notes and some beautiful perfume-y notes. Swoon! 

The scent description reads: In a tender embrace of sweet freesia and praline, igniting a cozy, nostalgic warmth. Subtle hints of jasmine bloom delicately through the fragrance, adding a soft floral whisper to the air. Rounded out with a touch of creamy vanilla sugar, this scent glows with an inviting, heartfelt elegance.

Oooh, this candle scent was so complex. It definitely had a floral presence, but there was a beautiful blend of warm and fruity notes in the mix. The vanilla made it a bit sweet and even “creamy.” It was easily my favorite of the scents I tried. The candle strength was 3.5 with a throw of 4 out of 5. I didn’t have any trouble with the burn on this candle either. 

Warm Linen

The Warm Linen room spray came in a black matte glass jar and felt so heavy in the hand. The spray pump was easy to use and to dispense just the right amount of product. 

The scent description reads: Unfurls with the crisp, clean embrace of freshly laundered sheets, kissed by the subtle brightness of citrus. A heart of Rose florals weaves through the scent, evoking the comfort of sun-warmed fabric swaying in a gentle breeze. Scent: Pear, Iris, Rose, Orange, Musk.

This fragrance was so crisp and clean. It smelled like I had been cleaning all day! There were some perfumey notes that you can get with linen fragrances, but it was not overpoweringly so. The addition of the rose floral notes made it different than a typical clean linen fragrance. I found that this scent lingered in the air for a reasonable time and it did a great job of freshening up spaces.

Gilded

My Gilded room spray was similar to the Warm Linen as far as the look. These are very high quality room sprays and have an up-end look and feel to them. 

The scent description reads: Unfolds with the rich, velvety warmth of bourbon vanilla, infusing the air with a deep, indulgent sweetness. A generous swirl of brown sugar caramelizes the scent with a subtle, earthy lift of vanilla matcha weaves through. Scent: bourbon vanilla, brown sugar, vanilla matcha.

I have to admit that I kept spraying Gilded all throughout the day, as I just couldn’t get enough of the fragrance. I am a foodie scent lover at heart, and this fragrance made me want to break out my spoon! There was a rich brown sugar sweetness and warm, rich vanilla notes. The vanilla matcha addition made this blend creamy and gave it some earthy notes. This particular fragrance did a good job at masking up some food odors we had in the kitchen one day. 

Overall Impression of Chaos Candle Company

5 flames rating

We are head over heels with the beautiful, luxurious indie-made products from Chaos Candle Company. The products are meticulously made and presented in a very high-end way. We find the pricing on their website extremely reasonable for the type of products received. The candles had great scent throws and do well in small and medium sized spaces. If you are looking to scent a larger space, the 3-wick candles would most likely be the better option. We noticed clean burns and very unique fragrance combinations. Overall, we loved our introduction to Chaos Candle Company and rate it 5 out of 5! 

Their candles can be purchased on their website.
