My Story

What started as a hobby has now become my focus and passion. 

Not all scented candles are created equal and there are too many candles companies to count. Most candle makers are using cheap synthetic fragrances that smell completely artificial and are not very friendly to the environment or people. Over the years I've come across a few good brands, but they are costly, and for some, out of reach. I knew there had to be a better way. I did some research, ordered supplies, and began making candles. Let me tell you, IT IS NOT EASY. Sure, replicating what everyone else was selling only took a few months to master, but I wanted more. The reason for starting this in the first place was to figure out how to replace the $40-$60 luxury candles I was tired of paying for. After almost a year of tireless research and testing, Just A Dude was born! 

Just A Dude scented soy wax candles are made using sustainably sourced natural soy wax, essential oils, extracts, absolutes, cotton wicks, and a whole lot of love. All of our fragrance oil blends are phthalate free. Our aromas are inspired by nature and take months to perfect before release. 

We make fall scents, floral scents, woodsy scents, spicy scents, citrus scents, and manly scents, If you'd like to see more options of a particular category, feel free to drop us a line. 

We promise to deliver the best high quality candles, using the best pure ingredients, with the best burn and scent throw every time.

All of our scented soy wax candles are handmade in Columbia, South Carolina
