About us
Hello,
nice to meet you!
Hello and thank you for visiting Adrift Candle Co! My name is Julie. I live in Beaufort, a small (but growing) town on the coast of North Carolina, with my husband, two cute dogs, and two chonky cats. I have a full-time career but in my spare time I love running with my dog, going out in the boat, relaxing on the deck, spending time with friends, and embracing my crafty spirit through my home fragrance business. All of the products on my website are handmade with love right here in my backyard workshop! I also love to read - Stephen King is my favorite author and I've ready the Harry Potter series at least 6 times. My celebrity crushes are Vince Gill and Dolly Parton.
about
our brand
The inspiration for our brand comes from a truly special place—my hometown of Stacy, North Carolina, a small fishing village with just a few hundred residents, a handful of churches, two stop signs, and no businesses. Growing up, I spent countless days on 'the Banks,' a serene barrier island just off Stacy. There’s not much to do except take in the breathtaking views, fish, and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Standing on a sand dune, you can see both the Atlantic Ocean and Core Sound. Our ocean-inspired fragrances were thoughtfully crafted to capture the essence of these coastal landscapes and the beauty of coastal living.

Things we love
I've grown up on the coast of North Carolina and have lived here my whole life, so preserving our coastal heritage is very important to me. In 2021 we began donating 10% of our profits to the North Carolina Fisheries Association. NCFA is committed to supporting commercial fishermen and ensuring North Carolinians continue to have access to fresh, locally caught seafood. Several groups have been working hard to shut down small commercial fishermen in our area. Adrift Candle Co. is proud to support the preservation of commercial fishing in North Carolina.
