865 Candle Company: A Knoxville Gem

I recently stumbled upon an incredible local candle shop, 865 Candle Company, and I can't stop raving about it! This Knoxville-based business creates high-quality, handcrafted candles that are made from pure soy wax, which is plant-based and eco-friendly. One of the best features? If you accidentally spill the wax, it easily cleans up with just hot, soapy water—how convenient!

The scents they offer are absolutely delightful, ranging from earthy, woodsy fragrances to soft floral notes, ensuring there’s a perfect scent for everyone. Personally, I’m obsessed with their leather and tobacco candle—it’s my go-to fragrance! But it doesn’t stop there. 865 Candle Company uses cotton wicks, which means a cleaner burn, free from harsh chemicals or toxins. It's all about quality and a great sensory experience!

In addition to their amazing candles, they also create wax melts, skin salves, lip balms, and roll-on perfumes in your favorite scents, making it easy to enjoy their fragrances in different ways. You can visit their charming physical location at 6204 Chapman Highway, catch them at local festivals around town, or shop online through their website at www.865candlecompany.com.

If you’re looking for thoughtfully made, eco-conscious candles and other aromatic treats, 865 Candle Company is a must-visit! I guarantee you’ll find a scent you love.
