Artisan Candlemaker
Hey, y'all! I'm the proud Founder of North Peters Street Candles, my slice of festive in the heart of the New Orleans French Quarter.
I've been selling handcrafted soy wax candles in New Orleans for more than 25 years. Let me tell y'all a bit about my journey, my candles, and how each of my fragrances brings a story of my beloved NOLA to life.
Why, you might ask, did I start North Peters Street Candles?
Well, it's simple. I wanted to capture the essence of New Orleans, not just in a candle, but in a memory. Each fragrance is a tribute to the city's rich history and vibrant culture. For me, this is more than a business; it's a way to keep our stories and our heritage alive. I named the business after the street that runs parallel to the Mississippi River and is the official address of the French Market.
You see, scents have this magic way of taking you back in time. That's why I've been so picky about each of our fragrances. They’re not just “smells;” they're memories in a jar.
Each one of my candles has a story behind it, and I hope you'll browse my store to read them all. If you’ve ever lived in NOLA, visited, or know people who have, then you know we take our good times seriously!
It’s all about "Laissez les bons temps rouler, ma cher”…Let the good times roll!
BTW, I named my candle, Flambeaux, after one of my red toy poodles (the one on the right). His brother is named Tabasco, of course!
Each fragrance is an original blend of oils that I selected to represent a magical element of New Orleans
If you love NOLA--or know someone who does--you'll find lots of ways to delight them with a fragrance reminiscent of a New Orleans dish, festival or landmark
There's more to NOLA than Mardi Gras. View each fragrance for a slice of Southern hospitality and a glimpse of life in the Big Easy.
