Thymes Candles

Walk into almost any home in December and if there is a tree-scent drifting down the hall, there is a good chance a Thymes candle is burning. Thymes candles built their reputation on Frasier Fir, and the reason is simple: Siberian fir needle, cedarwood and sandalwood layered into something that smells like a living tree, not an air freshener. We sell more Thymes candles between October and January than almost any other brand in the shop, and regulars come in asking for Frasier Fir by name.

Most people come to us for Frasier Fir and leave with a second Thymes candle they did not expect. Goldleaf surprises the most, a heady jasmine and rose blend over oak moss that reads more like a fine perfume than a home candle. For fall, Simmered Cider fills a room with pressed apple, clove and cardamom over warm bourbon, and Pumpkin Laurel wraps nutmeg, cinnamon and orange peel around creamy pumpkin. The Thymes candles range is broader than Frasier Fir suggests, so browse our Frasier Fir candles collection for the holiday lineup, or try Nest candles and LAFCO candles for related scent profiles.

Thymes candles have been made in Minneapolis since 1982, putting them among the longest-running home fragrance houses in the country. Our founder Anthony Carro, quoted in The Washington Post in 2024, has kept Thymes on these shelves for over two decades because the formulas hold up and the price stays honest. Rose on our floor still reaches for Frasier Fir to show first-time customers what a well-calibrated cold sniff feels like. The permanent Thymes candles range earns that kind of quiet loyalty.
