About us

At Waxed and Wasted, we believe candles should be more than just décor - they should be an experience. Founded in Panama City, Florida, our brand was born from a love of bourbon, whiskey, and quality craftsmanship. The team behind Waxed and Wasted brings together years of discipline, attention to detail, and a shared commitment to creating something different. Our founder, a former Marine, works full-time outside the business, and alongside him, his wife helps manage production and logistics to ensure every batch is consistent and perfectly finished.

Every candle and wax melt is hand-poured in small batches. The jars are sharp and modern, the wax burns clean and steady, and the fragrances are bold and layered. Each scent is inspired by cocktails we love, from the smoky richness of Burnt Sugar Bourbon to the bright, refreshing Mint Mojito Breeze. Our goal is simple: to create products that elevate everyday moments, spark conversation, and bring character to any space.

Balancing Waxed and Wasted alongside full-time work requires focus and dedication. Lessons learned from military service, combined with careful production and testing, ensure that every candle is crafted with care and precision. This is not just a business, it is a craft, and every candle carries that commitment. We are not here to follow trends or play it safe. We are here to create something memorable, indulgent, and full of character.

We also believe in giving back. A portion of every sale goes toward supporting programs that help individuals and families affected by alcohol abuse - a small way to honor the culture that inspires our scents while helping those hurt by its darker side.

Pour a candle, light it, and enjoy it. That is the Waxed and Wasted way.
