Aspen Bay Candles
Aspen Bay Candles was founded in 1978 by Roberta Man as Candles by Bert. After years of experimentation, Roberta developed a votive wax formulation that provided truly superior performance. In subsequent years, additional products fueled strong growth in the line, and in 2001, Tom Reed purchased Aspen Bay.
In July 2012, we re-branded our parent company and are now more clearly identifying the parent company that produces Aspen Bay Candles as DPM Fragrance. DPM Fragrance is a fragrance house that specialized in candles and other fragranced products that are proudly hand poured at our plant in Starkville, Mississippi. The result is a line of premium candles with quality you can see and most importantly smell.
Along with producing upscale, quality products, Aspen Bay has made the decision to be as environmentally conscious as possible. This commitment is seen most notably in our recycled glass jars and recycled steel lids. We also try and buy locally whenever possible.
Our Fragrance Mushroom
While burning, our candle wicks will develop a black "fragrance mushroom™." This "fragrance mushroom" is caused by the superior wax blends and the high volume of custom blended fragrance and essential oils which have made our "Fragrances with Wicks™" so popular. Both our highly refined Blossom wax and our Soy wax blends have low natural oil content, allowing them to fully absorb 2-3 times more fragrance oil than most candles - leaving the surface oil-free while ensuring superb scent ‘throw' while burning. The wick works like a straw while the candle is burning, drawing the fragrance and essential oils through the wax and releasing the wonderful aromas right into the air. Our "fragrance mushroom" is a constant reminder to you of our high levels of fragrance, and a symbol of our dedication to quality and your enjoyment. When a "fragrance mushroom" forms, gently blow out the flame, let cool, trim the wick to ¼" and relight. As with any candle, without the simple attention of keeping the wick trimmed, the "fragrance mushroom" may create an oversized flame and cause smoke.
