Why Settle for Ordinary Scents When You Can Pour Yourself Something Better?

Candles shouldn’t smell like your grandmother’s linen closet. They should spark conversation, set the mood, and actually belong on your bar cart. At Waxed & Wasted, we craft cocktail-inspired candles that turn your favorite drinks into atmosphere: bourbon slow-sipping in the background, mint mojitos cooling the room, burnt sugar caramelizing the air.

From Bar to Jar

We didn’t want “just another candle.” We wanted something with personality. Something that takes the same care you’d use building an Old Fashioned - layering bitters, citrus, and bourbon - only this time with fragrance oils, premium wax, and jars that look good sitting next to your whiskey collection.

Small Batch, No Hangover

Every candle is poured in small batches. That means real attention to detail - no shortcuts, no cheap fillers. The result? Scents that go down smooth, last longer, and never leave you with that headache-inducing chemical burn other candles bring.

Why People Love Them

• They’re conversation starters. Guests don’t forget the candle that smells like their favorite drink.

• They elevate the vibe. Your bar cart or living room instantly feels less like “Tuesday night” and more like “private speakeasy.”

• They support small business. Every order keeps this little cocktail-candle experiment alive and growing.

Today’s Feature: The Old Fashioned (Coming Soon)

We’re currently mixing, sniffing, and testing until we nail the perfect bourbon-forward balance. Expect notes of rich oak, orange peel, and just a touch of bitters - an homage to one of the greatest cocktails of all time.
