3 Local Colorado Crafters Share Their Elevated Candle Scents
We’ve rounded up the best elevated scents inspired by the Centennial state from three local candle crafters.
Colorado Smell Goods
From her cabin workshop at 10,700 feet in Leadville, Morgan Moutrie hand-pours small-batch candles from nontoxic coconut wax that she infuses with nature-inspired scents. Her fragrances, with names like Take a Hike or Colorado Campfire, channel mountain adventures and cozy moments that capture the state’s unique charm.
Crackling Springs
Colorado Springs-based Jamie Clayton creates a sophisticated range of coconut virgin soy-wax candles with wooden wicks that burn slowly, making a crackling sound that evokes the comfort of a fireplace or bonfire. Scents like Maple Chai and Honey & Bourbon feel especially on point for an autumn evening.
Wax Crescent
Carrying on her grandmother’s tradition of candle making, Longmont-based Kym Terribile crafts soy-wax candles inspired by personal experiences and Colorado botanicals. Woodsy notes provide the base for many blends, like Rosemary & Cedarwood or Oakmoss & Evergreen. Who says the magical Colorado landscape can only be enjoyed outdoors?
