P.F. Candle Co.

P.F. Candle Co.—first founded by Kristen Pumphrey as an Etsy shop in 2008—specializes in rustic-chic soy-wax candles (they’re also vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free) whose signature amber glass jars you’ve definitely seen at any cool friend’s place. Bestselling scents include teakwood and tobacco, Golden Coast, bergamot shiso and Los Angeles—which smells like redwood, lime, jasmine and yarrow. But they’re constantly expanding their offerings, with seasonal scents like smoky cinnamon special or vanilla and ghost pepper, as well as collaborations like P.F. Candle Co. x Peanuts, with cute labels starring Snoopy. But all of the independently owned brand’s products are still developed, produced, tested and packed right here in L.A. Their products can be found in stores all across the city, but we suggest going straight to the source and visiting the Echo Park flagship for the best selection.
