  • It’s a tribute.

  • It is a proprietary all natural soy wax that is specific to Strange Gent Candles. It is thicker than most, thus it dries in an even, pretty tone. Because it is slightly heavier than most other waxes, it holds scent better and burns for longer. You are definitely getting more bang for your buck.

  • Most but not all. Essential oils are very expensive, and as such, in Strange Gent Candles effort to keep costs relatively customer friendly, we have to use some fragrance oils. I take every effort I can to be as environmentally friendly as possible.

  • We are working on it. Hopefully by the end of 2023!

  • Yes! See my Private Label page.

  • The short answer is no. There is always an element of muskiness, or earthiness, in all my scents, but that doesn’t mean they are necessarily “manly”. After all, we consider our planet Mother Earth. I’m forever expanding my scent palette, but for now, these are the scents I feel most comfortable traveling in.

  • I like to consider each Strange Gent scent a character or location in a novel or long running story. Each one has a part to play, or is the setting of a very important scene. As we all can’t help but be the star in the movie of our lives, we have many important moments or people that come into them, sometimes for the briefest of interactions. That memory stays with you, and in your soul, and the way the wind blew, or the coffee you were drinking will instantly recall that time. These candles aim to do the same.

  • That’s Django (Scoob) & Cara (Sister), our two rescue pit bulls. Django passed away in the Summer of 2022, so that’s why his image has a halo. They were underfoot during many a Strange Gent pour, so I feel like they have been privy to most of the original scent ideas. They had to pass their discerning snouts first in order to make it to the form you are now holding in your hand.
