Essence & Wick

Essence & Wick In our cozy Iowa home — me, a pot of warm soy wax, and dogs Indie & Murphy, who faithfully nap by my side.

From that simple scene comes every candle and wax melt you’ll find here: hand-poured, phthalate-free, and made with 100% U.S.-sourced soy wax.

Thank you ❤️

Six days ago, Essence & Wick (and many other amazing vendors) found its new home at Eleven101.

During this time, we've welcomed customers and watched our hand-poured candles and home fragrances find their way into new homes.

Every purchase means more than you know. When you choose to shop small, you're helping support a dream that's been built one candle, one label, and one late night at a time.

If you haven't stopped by yet, we'd love to have you visit us in Space W1 at Eleven101 Collective.

Thank you for cheering us on—we can't wait to keep growing with you. 🖤

✨ Remember when we told you something exciting was coming to Essence & Wick? ✨

Well... here it is! 🖤

After finishing everything up yesterday, we're so excited to announce that Essence & Wick is officially open in Space W1 at Eleven101 Collective in Clive!

While we'll still be putting the finishing touches on our space next week (we'll be adding our wax melts, car diffusers, decor, and even more candles) - we couldn't wait to welcome you in!

If you're shopping at Eleven 101, we'd love for you to stop by Space W1, browse our handcrafted candles, and see what we've been working so hard on. While you’re there - check out all of the other amazing shops as well!

This is just the beginning, and we can't wait to continue filling the space with all of your favorite scents!

The answer is... 365 pounds of soy wax! 🤯

That's 365 pounds poured by hand into candles made with love. Thank you for supporting this dream over the last (almost) 8 months—we can't wait to see what the next chapter brings! 🤍

👀 Let's play a little guessing game!

It's hard to believe Essence & Wick has only been pouring candles for 7 months 🤍

💭 How many POUNDS of soy wax do you think we've used since we launched?

Drop your best guess in the comments! ⬇️

🏆 The closest guess (without going over 😉) gets bragging rights!

We'll reveal the answer tomorrow!

✨ New Scent Alert! ✨

Some places are meant to stay a secret…

Introducing The Back Room — a bold, speakeasy-inspired fragrance that captures the atmosphere of hidden lounges, worn leather chairs, and rich to***co lingering in the air.

Hand-poured with 100% soy wax, this warm, sophisticated scent is perfect for anyone who loves timeless, refined fragrances with a touch of mystery.
