A Bit about Chesapeake Bay Candle

Chesapeake Bay Candle is the home fragrance brand synonymous with stylish design and unique, nature-inspired fragrances. Based in Rockville, MD, the brand draws inspiration from the serene beauty of Maryland’s idyllic shoreline. Season after season Chesapeake Bay Candle provides style, fragrance, and ambiance to millions of families around the world.

Driven by their entrepreneurial spirit, husband-and-wife team Mei Xu and David Wang established their company Pacific Trade International with the signature home fragrance brand Chesapeake Bay Candle in 1994. Following her passion for design, Mei began by arranging a candle work shop in their home in Annapolis, MD where she created the first Chesapeake Bay Candle collection using Campbell soup cans as candle molds.

Influenced by the contemporary designs Mei discovered during her travels in Europe and distinctively different from the traditional candles available in the American market of the mid-1990s, Chesapeake Bay Candle was destined to become an instant hit. The very first Chesapeake Bay Candle collection featured stylish pop colors such as mango, lime green, and lavender combined with a unique mottled texture leaving the impression of little snowflakes on the candle finish, paired with exquisite botanical fragrances.

The collection immediately caught the attention of buyers at high end retail outlets. When it finally launched in the fall of 1995, it quickly exceeded all sales forecasts.

Over the years Chesapeake Bay Candle established partnerships with America’s most renowned retailers, including Target, Kohl’s, and Bed Bath & Beyond. Today Chesapeake Bay Candle is one of the most popular candle brands in the country and around the world.

The current Chesapeake Bay Candle product portfolio includes candles, candle gift sets, alternative home fragrances and home accessories.

My Review

  I was sent two filled candles in Orchid Guava and Vanilla Jasmine from Chesapeake Bay Candle to review. First, I love the size of these candles...they are not too large and not too small. They each came beautifully packaged in beautiful gift boxes that are perfect for gift giving {Easter/Mother's Day...Hint! Hint}. To make the filled candles wax is poured by hand into a frosted glass vessel. Hand pouring the candle makes the candle burn evenly thus making the candle superior to others on the market today.  The Vanilla Jasmine candle is off-white and when lit fills the room with a subtle hint of sweet vanilla. The Orchid Guava candle is a beautiful coral color and when lit your home smells like a tropical oasis! I love the quality and beauty of both candles and I highly recommend them! Chesapeake Bay Candle would make a perfect gift for a birthday, anniversary, shower, or holiday!
