According to their website, Kringle Candle is a company that produces ultra-fragrant candle goods rooted in tradition with a modern twist. But are Kringle Candles really any good?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well, this company is definitely rooted in tradition. Its founder is the son of the man who founded the well-established Yankee Candle Company. Over the past eleven years, they have grown a loyal customer base that can attest to the quality of these candles. Not only are their candles highly aromatic, their scents are both nostalgic and contemporary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you would like to learn more about how this company came to be and how they\u2019ve remained a favorite for this long, keep on reading.<\/p>\n\n\n In 2008, Michael J. Kittredge III was playing around and made a candle on an heirloom stove. It\u2019s possible that he did so jokingly because his father, Mike Kittredge, had run the family\u2019s candle business<\/a> for close to twenty years before selling 90 percent of it for hundreds of millions of dollars in 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Initially Michael J. Kittredge III had no intentions of owning a candle business and his father had long since left that life behind. <\/strong>But after completing a college project in 2009, he began to discuss with his father the possibilities of starting his own candle brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They found a property in Bernardston, Massachusetts, that was not only their manufacturing facility but a retail space to test out their own products in real-time directly with their customers. In late 2009, they began developing their business idea. By October 2010, their flagship store opened its doors.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Mike Kittredge passed away in 2019<\/a>, but his legacy has remained deeply rooted in the traditions of Kringle Candles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The company is continuing to do well. Their flagship store is still open, surviving the pandemic. But the Kringle Emporium, which sold everything from home decor items, to specialty foods and gifts, and of course, candles, is temporarily closed. The Farm Table, their restaurant located at the flagship Kringle Candle store, is also temporarily closed, but you can buy their oils, vinegars, and sauces online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Updated June 2022, They are now open Friday-Sunday Only. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Later on I\u2019ll also mention a candle collection possibly connected to the restaurant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n All of their candles are still made in Bernardston, MA; they just celebrated their eleventh year in business. Michael J. Kittredge III still designs, formulates, and tests new candle fragrances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kringle Candles are described as being a delicate balance between art and science with the primary goal of creating memorable fragrances. The company uses authentic Kittredge family recipes to compose each scent. They pride themselves for making highly concentrated fragrances that throw far and burn clean. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Since Kringle candle lines are made of glass, they can be recycled or used for some other purpose once the candle is done. Each candle jar has an easy peel label, making the transition from candle to other use a faster process.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Below I will share more about the products they offer grouped by collection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The original Kringle Candle is most often created using a fragranced white non-toxic paraffin wax but some fragrances are made with a soy wax blend. All of their candles are made with natural cotton fiber blend wicks. The company states that the use of white wax allows their candles to glow even more brightly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Two wicks allow for a wider, more even wax pool. Also, the fragrance is so highly concentrated that it lasts until the very end.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Kringle Collection is available in seven fragrance categories: Autumn, Floral, Fresh, Fruits, Gourmet, Holiday, Warm & Woodsey.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAll About Kringle Candle Company<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
