Otway Candle Co

Otway Candle Co Soy Wax Candles & Melts, Room Sprays, Diffusers & Gifts. Locally handmade. Shop small, support local.

Handmade by Cori started in 2013 as a result of receiving a beautiful "Eco" scented soy candle, after burning that candle I went to purchase another and really couldn't justify $39.95 price tag. I thought I’d do a bit of research and see if I could find a cheaper option, (whilst not compromising on quality!) There were a few other options out there but the thing that I couldn't shake was the idea

of making my own. Test burning was taking a long time so to speed up the testing process in search of the “perfect” mix I started recruiting friends and family to help, their feedback, advice and ideas helped shape Handmade by Cori into what it is today. After a little while, when my helpers ran out of their test candles they all started asking for more and offering to pay! The idea of this was overwhelming but, it seems that I wasn't the only one interested in saving money and still enjoying these little luxuries. I’m really proud of my products , I use the highest quality Eco soy wax available, fragrance oils designed especially for use in Soy wax and natural fibre wicks. I know my products are just as high quality as the candle that started this whole thing, but has the extra charm of being hand poured and locally produced.

Scents I hate? Bohemian Dream for absolute sure. But that doesn't matter because so many love it; it's a go-to scent. It's described as a warm, comforting and strong fragrance. How do you feel about it?

The Aussie range has been a great addition. It has some beautiful fragrances. In order of popularity, they are Australian Bush, Lemon Myrtle, Australian Florals and last is Golden Wattle. Fun Fact: When I had a little shop in Birregurra, Golden Wattle was my highest-selling fragrance; it beat out the top-selling Vanilla Caramel and Black Raspberry, but it just ticks along in Colac.

Do I burn a lot of candles at home? Nope. I do, however, have a multitude of reed diffusers. Different fragrances in different rooms, and I flip the reeds every week or so to refresh the fragrance. So easy.
