We are Grand Island Candle Company. Our candles are inspired by Western New York, the moments and memories; lifestyle and mood. We hand blend and pour all of our candles in small batches in our Grand Island candle studio using sustainably grown soy wax derived from American-grown soy beans and phthalate-free perfume oils infused with essential oils. We pride ourselves on our craftsmanship, ethical production, accessible prices, and presentation.

Hand blended and poured in Grand Island New York, USA in small batches. Only 6 made. Wrap yourself in comfort with La Grande Île Limited Edition. This fruit forward scent has a cozy warmth that’s always inviting. Bright citrus and a touch of black cherry enhance the dark plum heart of this candle. Amber, sugar, and vanilla base notes reinforce the sweetness of this scent, while musk and freesia add a light earthy dimension. Infused with natural essential oils, including cedar, bergamot, and clary sage.
Directions:
Always trim wicks to 1/4 inch before lighting (we suggest using a wick trimmer). The first time you light your candle, let it burn for 3-4 hours to allow the melted wax to reach the edge of the container to prevent your candle from tunneling.
Candle Safety:
Follow the 2 foot rule - don't place a burning candle near clothing, books, curtains or anything flammable. Place candle holders on a stable, heat-resistant surface (candle coasterswork great). Keep lit candles away from drafts, ceiling fans and any air currents. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Extinguish all candles when you leave a room or before going to sleep or if the flame gets too close to the candle holder or container. A candle should not be burned for more than four hours at a time. For a margin of safety, discontinue burning a candle when 1/4 inch of wax remains in the container.
