History
Topanga Candle Company was born from the love of antiques and the love of candles. Dinah was sitting in her kitchen opening a tea tin when the idea hit her. She went to Tom, who has been pouring candles for over twenty years and proposed her thought to him. The rest they say, is history. They regularly search the world for one of a kind tins and hand pour them at their house in Topanga Canyon. The fragrances were born from many hours of euphoria, frustration, tears and triumph. They were looking and would not settle for anything less than a fragrance that wraps itself around you. The test was always for them, a candle that burned beautifully and could be lit at any time of day or night as the fragrance can be enjoyed all the time by a man or a woman.
