About Stormy!

Hi I’m Stormy Daniel, Owner and Chandler of Stormy Dawn Candle Co. I’m a California native, living for the last 25 years in the Sacramento area.

I’ve been pouring and selling candles as a side hustle to my 22 year career as an award winning recruiter since 2018. What started as a way to save money on my candle habit, became a path to entrepreneurship when I had an unexpected career change in November of 2023.

I've loved candles my whole life, and always thought they could take you to places you've never been or remind you of a place you'll never forget. Candles light up a room with more than a wick, the flickering flame can instantly uplift your mood and create a sense of tranquility. It's for this reason I decided to build a company based on my favorite scents and memories.

I use high quality coconut wax, and phthalate free ““Certified Clean” fragrance oils to hand pour my candles one by one. All of my scents are unique to my brand, blended by me with skills honed as an avid home chef. I am available for pop-up shops, and artisan fairs, as well as candle making classes for parties of 12 or less.

My hope is that sharing these handcrafted scents with others will allow me to spread not just light and warmth, but also the fun and joy I feel when creating them.

 

Unique Scents

  • A candle for February, to celebrate my birthday!

    Effervescent champagne bubbles dance on your tongue tickling your nose. Ripe Mandarin oranges mix brightly with bubbles to create a sweet treat for your senses. Tart Bergamot adds a refreshing touch and a crisp finish to this fun scent.

  • A scent inspired by a fountain outside my mama's bedroom window.

    With the window open you can smell the jasmine and hear their wings as hummingbirds flit between tiny flowers looking for nectar. Overgrown bushes dripping with blackberries ripe for picking provide shelter for the tiny birds. The scent of nectar coming from the feeders hanging in the morning sun lends a sweet finish to this dreamy scent.

  • A scent inspired by my childhood home and long walks in the forest.

    Amble down a path, branches crunch under your shoes and musky redwoods awaken your senses. As you walk on your worries melt away to the fog rolling in at your feet. The trail winds to a small hidden waterfall surrounded by moss and fern as the final layer to this scent.

  • A scent inspired by love, love yourself like you love others, deeply, truly, and sweetly...

    Tart goji berries ignite your senses with a kiss. Juicy pineapples swirl playfully through the air. Citrus fruits mix and mingle to bring this scent alive.

  • A scent for January, inspired by a walk in the rain.

    We walked the trail together, as the rain came down. Through groves of clover bending but not breaking under the weight of the drops. We come to a stream, full from the downpour. The moss on the rocks glistens as the water runs over it. As we enter a grassy field, the rain transforms into a light mist. The scent of satiated earth clings to our boots as we head home damp and happy.

  • A candle inspired by my little sister, river days, and sunshine.

    Close your eyes and breathe deeply. The woody scent of santal hangs in the air. Sipping a cold beverage from a coconut as you lie back in your chair and listen to the waves kiss the sand. As the sun sets the scent of fresh berries lingers like the final rays of sun on a perfect day.

  • A scent inspired by the stars in March that light the way for Spring.

    Under the night sky we hold hand as moonflowers open to welcome us with a sweetly floral embrace. The moon rises to greet us, the air swells with earthy sweetness, sugary stars twinkle in the sky. The path ahead opens to a citrus orchard. The musk of the leaves clings to our jackets as we walk the path of the milky way. Into the night, arm in arm, the night closes around us.

  • A scent inspired the dark and the mystery it holds for us.

    We step into the shadows and our senses are intrigued with the essences of mahogany, musk, and mystery. The night unfurls in front of us as bamboo reeds sway in the wind. The earth below us releases the scent of amber as our feet crush the rocks.

  • A scent inspired by the best drink in the world, ever.

    If caffeine had a scent it would be this candle. Formulated with a true coffee fragrance profile and just a touch of Creme Brule, this candle will awaken your senses with a rush.

  • Fizzy and Fun, a Scent to tickle your tastebuds.

    Layers of Lemon, Lime and Ginger come together to create a scent reminiscent of your favorite cocktail!
