Miller Candle Co. Story

Miller Candle Co. Story

A Texas Family. A Love for Scent. A Business Built by Hand.

At Miller Candle Co., we believe the simplest moments often become our most cherished memories — the glow of a crackling fire, the hush of a summer morning, the warmth of a home filled with familiar scent. Our products are meant to evoke those moments. Crafted slowly. Made with intention. Rooted in the senses.

Founded by Deana Miller, and now run alongside her husband Jeffrey and their sons Corbin and Tanner, Miller Candle Co. is a woman-owned, family-run business built with heart, heritage, and the shared belief that meaningful work still matters.

What began as a single candle poured in the kitchen has grown into a full fragrance house with products carried in over 100 stores nationwide —What began as a single candle poured in the kitchen has grown into a full fragrance house with products carried in over 100 stores nationwide — from rustic farm shops and Western boutiques to nature centers, wildlife preserves, and artisan markets.

Where We Come From

Our story is grounded in Texas — in slow mornings, star-filled skies, and the kind of rural living that shapes who you are long before you realize it.

Jeffrey comes from generations of hardworking, land-rooted Texans. Though his path shifted over the years, our love for open spaces, honest work, and simpler ways of living still grounds everything we do.

Deana grew up with a love for scent, home, and handmade work. Together, they built a business that honors:

  • the land

  • the people who work it

  • the traditions worth keeping

  • and the slow, intentional pace of a life lived close to nature

Those roots guide every candle we pour and every fragrance we blend.

Our Craft

Each Miller Candle Co. candle is:

  • hand-poured in small batches

  • made with clean-burning soy wax

  • blended with phthalate-free fragrance oils

  • designed around storytelling and memory

  • poured into reusable, timeless vessels (including our signature whiskey glass candles)

We don’t chase trends — we chase meaning.
Scents that feel like home.
Fragrances that bring back a moment.
Candles made to be lit, loved, and remembered.

The Scents of the West

Our fragrance inspiration comes from the land:

  • leather saddles baked by the sun

  • pine-dappled trails

  • dusty prairie grass

  • cool desert nights

  • old barns, porch gatherings, and fire-lit stories

We craft scents that reflect rugged simplicity, Western heritage, and the authentic soul of the places we love.
