Penrose Candles is a modern home fragrance and design company based in Portland, Oregon.

Our Story
A white ceramic candle with a smooth matte finish and a dark wooden lid sits on a white windowsill. The label reads: “Highgarden — Fresh figs and citrus; majestic evergreens rise with the morning mist.” Soft natural light filters in, creating a clean and minimal aesthetic.

Ceramic Candles

A collection of pure beeswax pillar candles in varying heights is arranged against a dark background. The candles feature a smooth, matte finish and come in natural tones of soft blush, warm cream, and charcoal gray. Faceted at the top and base for a sculptural finish, their minimalist design creates a clean, modern aesthetic.

“

I’ve spent over $350 on luxury candles from other brands, and none compare to the quality, richness, and longevity of Penrose. The scents are absolutely incredible—perfectly balanced, immersive, and truly unique. If you’re looking for a high-end candle experience without the exorbitant price tag, I can’t recommend Penrose enough!

Not only is this candle strong, it is the most beautiful scent! It smells like actual rain, soil, and trees. I'm floored. I will keep buying this for as long as it is available! Thank you so much for this amazing candle!

This is my absolute favorite candle. I discovered it at a high-end interiors store and have bought far more expensive candle brands but always come back to Midnight Amber. The scent lingers and is just awesome.
