P.F. Candle Co.

P.F. Candle Co. is a California-based fragrance and candle manufacturer founded in 2008 by the couple Kirsten Pumphrey and Thomas Neuberger. For P.F. Candle Co., scents are an extension of our home design. The company creates high-quality home fragrances at affordable prices. What started as a one-woman operation is now a sustainable business producing iconic scented candles, diffusers, and room sprays in Los Angeles.

After Kirsten lost her job during the 2008 recession, she left New York and moved to Austin, Texas. There she met Tom, and soon she opened an Etsy shop in the second bedroom of her house, selling products like scented candles, bookends, buttons, and much more. She named her brand after her DIY blog: Pommes Frites. After (too) many questions about the whole Pommes Frites thing, Pommes Frites Candle Co. became P.F. Candle Co. to keep things simple.

Inspired by memories and designed to complete your living space. P.F. Candle Co. scented candles are crafted to make you feel comfortable while adding the finishing touch to any room. The fragrances are balanced to enhance and beautify a space without overwhelming it. Scent compositions like Teakwood & Tobacco, Los Angeles, or Golden Coast have since gained cult status among many fans.

The entire P.F. Candle scented candle collection is vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free. All scented candles are made from 100% domestically grown soy wax, cotton wicks, and a blend of fine fragrance oils. “While our production methods have improved over the years, the passionate people behind all P.F. Candle Co. products have remained the same. As we grow, so does our commitment to sustainability, to our planet, and to our employees who make it all possible.” Kirsten Pumphrey, Founder
