Our Story

Hi, I'm Jennifer. I spent five years living in Bergen, Norway, and it changed me. The rugged mountains, the long winters, the way people slow down and actually savor everything. That life stayed with me long after I came to Washington, and eventually it became Freya Candle Co.

Every candle is hand-poured with eco-friendly coco apricot crème wax and blended with clean scents inspired by my time in Scandinavia. A little Nordic calm, made in the Pacific Northwest.

When I'm not making candles, you'll find me hiking, beach combing, hanging out with my grown kids, cooking up a storm, or curled up with my dogs, deep into whatever book I can't put down.

Thank you for being here. It means everything.

“I absolutely love Freya Candles! The scents are beautiful (I can't even choose a favorite!) and fill the room without being overpowering. The high-quality burn ensures that each candle lasts a long time and burns cleanly, and the packaging is so elegant. I also love that they are hand-poured by a woman-owned small business. This attention to detail and craftsmanship truly sets them apart. Freya Candles have become my go-to hostess gift, and I make sure to stock up whenever I’m in Poulsbo! Highly recommend!” Jenn C.
“It’s nearly impossible to put into words the level of quality that Freya Candles offer, setting them apart in a way that’s truly special. I gave these candles to my friends last Christmas, and everyone raved about them (it was hard not to keep them all to myself!). I love supporting local small businesses, and these locally made soy candles, with their nod to our town’s Norwegian heritage, are truly divine. The soy wax burns cleanly and lasts longer, while the fragrances are rich, natural, and beautifully curated—each scent feels like a little spa escape. The elegant, minimalist design fits perfectly with any decor, which is just an added bonus. If you’re looking for sustainable, high-quality candles with incredible scents, these are a must-have!” Melisa W.
“Freya Candles are the only candles I will buy! Not only are the scent combinations unique and captivating, but they also don’t trigger migraines or cause sinus issues like other cheap candles full of toxins. I love and own a candle in every scent available and give them regularly as gifts! 10/10 recommendation.” Erin W.
“My Freya candle arrived and I'm obsessed. It looks beautiful in my apartment, and the Midnattsol scent is somehow grounding and energizing at the same time. It makes an ordinary day at home feel like something special.” Nicole M.
