FAQ

Thymes Candles: Scents, Materials and Buying Guide

What are Thymes candles made of?

Thymes candles are made with food-grade paraffin wax and lead-free cotton wicks. The formulations are free of parabens and SLS/SLES, and the brand states that products are phthalate-free whenever possible. Thymes candles are made in the USA with globally sourced components. As with any candle, burning in a well-ventilated room and trimming the wick before each use will ensure the cleanest possible burn.

Where are Thymes candles made?

Thymes candles are manufactured in the United States by a team headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where the brand was founded in 1982 by Leslie Ross Lentz and Stephanie Shopa. Since 2016, Thymes has been part of CURiO Brands, which also includes Capri Blue and Aspen Bay.

Is Thymes a good candle brand?

Short answer: yes, reliably so. Thymes candles have been on our floor at Candle Delirium for over two decades and they have never been a question mark. The scent throw is strong, the paraffin wax burns cleanly, and the formulas hold up across production runs in a way that matters to customers who reorder the same scent every winter. We carry over 50 luxury fragrance brands, and Thymes is one of the few that has never had a season where we considered pulling it from the floor. That kind of shelf stability, sustained for over twenty years, is more meaningful than any single gift guide placement.

How does Thymes compare to Nest candles?

Thymes and Nest New York sit in the same price bracket and serve the same customer, but they behave differently. Thymes has stronger cold throw on the shelf. Frasier Fir in particular is detectable from several feet away before the lid is off, which is unusual for a candle under $50. Nest relies more on burn performance and layered dry-downs. Bamboo, Grapefruit, and the seasonal editions reveal complexity after twenty minutes of burning that they do not telegraph cold. If a customer is buying for their own home and wants the room to fill fast, Thymes. If the purchase is a gift that needs to impress on first sniff before it is lit, Nest. At Candle Delirium we sell both in comparable volume year-round.

WHY WE LOVE IT

Thymes Candles: From Frasier Fir to Goldleaf

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.
