My Story

Hello! I'm Rosalind, the founder and maker of Olivia Michael Candle Co. 

In 2019 I was feeling a little lost on the path I was taking in life, beaten down by years of physical illness, and unhappy with my job struggling in holistic therapy. I discovered candle making, and set about learning what was needed for this magnificent craft and the journey began.

I soon realised I hadn't felt this passionate about anything for so long, and the desire to make this be more than a hobby took over, and with the help of my brilliant husband we worked hard to turn this passion into a fully fledged business. 

I wanted to create a range of scents that were inspired by nature. Having grown up by the coast and having access to forests and the South Downs; these were my inspiration. It was important to me to be eco-conscious, but I also really wanted my brand to have a little elegance too. 

Every product is hand-poured and crafted in small batches in my studio in beautiful West Sussex.

So whether you love to relax alongside the flicker and glow of a candle in an evening, or fill your room with fragrance in the daytime, I hope you can find something you love in amongst my store.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions! 

Rosalind
