ueen Marie Candles is a New York luxury candle house inspired by French beauty, history, and savoir-faire. Named in part for the infamous paragon of style and symbol of opulence, Marie Antoinette, we craft candles with imperial accords using ancient skill for modern homes.
Created entirely in France, each scent has a unique soy and mineral wax formula to ensure optimal burn performance. Our fragrances are made in partnership with a 150 year old parfumerie in Grasse, the perfume capital of the world. And our porcelain cups are expertly crafted by a renowned French porcelain house operating since 1768, during Queen Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI's reign.

Love Triangle
COLLECTION
Our first collection, Love Triangle, pays homage to France's former queen of opulence and scandal...Marie Antoinette.​
In 1770, she married Louis XVI, despite the hesitation of the country as a whole. Their reign caused a lot of controversy - from her Austrian heritage, their lavish spending, and disconnection from the people. Their reign prompted the famous French revolution.
One not-so-secret, infamous story involves Count Axel Von Fersen, her "special friend" with whom she shared a questionable bond with until her passing. When she met her fate at the guillotine, he said: “I have lost everything I had in this world...the one I loved so much, for whom I would have given my life a thousand times over, is no more.”

our story
Bonjour! I'm the founder of Queen Marie Candles, a luxury candle brand dreamt up in New York and realized in France.
​
In 2019 I left NYC to follow my life-long dream of living in Paris. Once here, I began looking for ways to share my appreciation for France and, as a Francophile with a passion for candles, I decided this is where I should start. So, I found an incredible team of experts across France to help realize my vision: to create a luxury candle made of the finest materials...with an American spirit. What evolved was Queen Marie Candles, named in part for the infamous paragon of style and symbol of opulence, Marie Antoinette.
Inspired by France, we will continually create collections based on its history, beauty, and culture. Therefore, our candles are limited in production to allow us to keep innovating and telling stories. So once a scent is gone, c'est fini!
Bisous,
