The Timber Ghost Story

The flame fades. The feeling stays.

From Austin Markets to our Ocala Studio

The Foundation

The story of Timber Ghost began in 2019 amid the vibrant, competitive artisan markets of Austin, Texas. What started as a dedicated pursuit to master the science of clean burning, highly atmospheric luxury soy wax candles quickly grew into a celebrated local staple. For years, our signature blends sold successfully face-to-face, earning a reputation for delivering an exceptional, dense hot and cold throw that truly transforms living spaces.

The Journey to Florida

When we permanently relocated our horse farm and studio to the quiet, natural landscapes of Ocala, Florida, our foundational Texas clients didn’t want to leave the fragrances behind. For years, we have been asked by our dedicated market following to finally bring our collection online. Timber Ghost Candles on Squarespace is our direct answer to those requests - allowing our original burning community, and new clients alike, to welcome our atmospheric pours back into their homes seamlessly from anywhere in the country.

Our Manifesto & Release Architecture

We believe that fragrance should shift dynamically with physical seasons. To honor that philosophy, Timber Ghost operates on a strict, curated release structure:

  • The Seasonal Collections: We introduce a rotating, highly limited capsule of distinct seasonal scents throughout the year (such as our signature Winter Edit release.) These are poured in limited, small batch quantities inside our frosted color-blocked glassware and are available exclusively for that season’s duration.

  • The Permanent Rituals: To ground our storefront, we maintain a dedicated line of our signature Ritual scent profiles and top all-time market best-sellers year-round. These foundational fragrances remain permanently available on our site across all seasons to serve as your dependable, everyday home sanctuary anchors. We will add to our Ritual line as we gather data on what fragrances our customers would like to see year-round. So send us your feedback, we would love to hear what you would like to see more of.

Material Integrity

Every single Timber Ghost product is an exercise in minimalist luxury and uncompromising quality. We individually hand-pour each vessel using only 100% pure USA-grown soy wax and a single, natural braided cotton wick for a slow, soot-free burn. Our clean burning fragrance elements are entirely phthalate-free and strictly adhere to California Proposition 65 parameters. To complete the premium ritual, every candle is finished with an ultra-narrow matte black label and capped with a raw wooden lid, individually hand-branded in our Ocala studio with our signature tree logo.
