76008 Candle Co., a women-owned, family-operated business based in Texas, has been illuminating homes across the country with its authentic, hand-poured candles since 2018. Specializing in creating high-quality, natural soy wax candles, the company offers a truly unique experience for candle lovers: a leather-scented candle that brings nostalgia and warmth with every burn.
Founded by Sarah D. Allen, 76008 Candle Co. was born from a desire to make candles that do more than just scent a room — they tell a story. For Sarah and her family, this journey began with one special fragrance: leather. The company’s flagship product, the Leather Scented Candle, was created as a tribute to Sarah’s late grandfather, known affectionately as Papa. A cowboy at heart, Papa’s life revolved around family, faith, and the rodeo, and the rich, earthy scent of leather was a constant reminder of him. This candle, which embodies the spirit of the open rodeo air, worn saddles, and dusty barns, became the cornerstone of the brand.
“We wanted to create a candle that captured the essence of my Papa — a scent that reminded us of his legacy and the warmth of family. The Leather Scented Candle became not just a product, but a part of our story,” said Sarah D. Allen, Founder of 76008 Candle Co.
Since its founding, 76008 Candle Co. has grown into a beloved brand that is recognized for its commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and a personal touch that makes each candle special. The company’s candles are made with 100% natural soy wax and feature a crackling wood wick, offering a clean burn with a soothing, cozy ambiance. These elements are not just part of the product design, but are infused with purpose — to create an experience that resonates with customers and tells a story of authenticity, hard work, and heart.
The Leather Scented Candle, which is still the company’s best-seller, stands apart from other leather-scented products on the market. Unlike artificial or overly perfumed leather candles, the fragrance of 76008 Candle Co.’s leather candle is true-to-life, evoking the warm, rugged scent of real leather. The scent is not just a fragrance, but a sensory experience, one that transports users to the memories of worn cowboy boots, rodeo arenas, and the scent of leather saddles.
“What makes us different is that we don’t just offer a leather scent; we offer the real thing. It’s the smell of the leather that’s been well-loved and lived in, not a synthetic version,” explained Allen. “Each candle is crafted with purpose, and for us, that purpose is to honor our family’s history and heritage.”
With its hand-poured candles made in small batches, 76008 Candle Co. takes great care to ensure that each product meets the highest standards. In addition to the signature leather scent, the company offers a variety of other fragrances, all designed to bring a sense of comfort and connection to any home. Whether for a quiet evening of relaxation, a special occasion, or as a thoughtful gift, 76008 Candle Co. aims to create products that become part of cherished memories.
In addition to its quality products, the company’s commitment to eco-friendliness sets it apart in a competitive market. All candles are made with natural soy wax, which burns cleanly and is biodegradable. The wood wicks, which add a charming crackling sound when lit, are carefully sourced, further enhancing the sustainable ethos of the brand. By prioritizing clean-burning materials and hand-pouring each candle in small batches, 76008 Candle Co. ensures a high-quality, long-lasting burn that customers can trust.
76008 Candle Co. has built a loyal following through its unique story and dedication to quality. The company’s products are frequently featured in gift guides and markets across the country, and it has become a favorite for those looking for meaningful gifts. One standout product is the Leather Scented Candle, which is especially popular as a Father’s Day gift — a fitting tribute to fathers who share a love for the rugged outdoors, rodeo, and authentic craftsmanship.
The brand’s dedication to family, authenticity, and hard work is evident in everything it does. Each candle is crafted with love and intention, and it’s this attention to detail that makes 76008 Candle Co. stand out. “We want our candles to be more than just products. They should feel like a part of your home, like a memory you can keep with you,” Allen explained.
Today, 76008 Candle Co. continues to grow while staying true to its roots. The brand remains committed to creating candles that evoke emotion and connection, sharing the spirit of family, love, and authenticity with every wick that’s lit.
