The brainchild of Andrea and Jeff; nerds, travel enthusiasts, style aficionados, best friends, and partners in both business, shenanigans, and life in general. This idea came to us on a trip through the Balkans in the fall of 2015, while wandering along the coastal hills of a seaside village on a tiny Croatian Island in the Adriatic Sea. Everywhere you walked there was an array of fruit trees, flowers, and herb bushes; the aromas were absolutely intoxicating. Bergamots, lemons, limes, pomegranates, oranges, and grapefruit. Herbaceous rosemary, oregano, mint, thyme, and sage. And let's not forget your stereotypical Mediterranean fare: grapes, and olives. All of this produces one hell of a recipe for success! A few days later we were walking out of our homestay in Dubrovnik when we were greeted with the same pleasing aromas and we thought… why can’t we bottle this smell? Oh wait, we can! Our love for candles, travel, and all things tasty and aromatic spawned this grande idea to launch a candle company with nostalgia at the heart of our ethos. Why couldn’t we replicate this very feeling from a number of different experiences? We started this venture with one goal in mind: to provide candles that are elegantly crafted, décor-inspired, distinctively fragrant, with the central thesis of creating an air of nostalgia. Maybe you long for the French Riviera (that’s us) or the beaches of Thailand, the vineyards of Italy or the streets of Paris. Or perhaps its your favourite café, floral shop, greenhouse, or your mahogany-draped, leather-wrapped, rum- and cigar-soaked study -at your Dad's. Maybe it's the garden, or grandma's kitchen! Whatever you desire, we aim to transport you there through our olfactory experience. We are the CEOs, the frangrance engineers, the mixologists, the production crew, shipping/receiving, the salesfolk, the marketing team, and the janitors. Our French Bulldogs, Charleston and Harlow, are merely the company mascots/namesakes yet somehow they get all the glory. All of our candles are consciously crafted by hand in our studio in Brandon, Manitoba with the hopes of someday adorning your mantles, bath ledges, offices, and travel bags.

We make candles, sure, but the basic concept is much deeper than that. We aim to provide a healthy mix of luxury and whimsy, so as to remove the stuffiness that is typical of true luxury products. People of all walks of life want nice things, and we look to fill that niche in the middle. We also pride ourselves on being a forward-thinking, ecologically-conscious company producing a green product, but without seeming green on the outside. Green doesn’t have to look or feel granola.
Our candles are all mixed in small batches and hand-poured, using 100% soy wax made from North American non-GMO soybeans. Our fragrance blends are procured and custom-built from fine fragrance and essential oils. We’ve sourced some of the best wicks on the market to ensure a clean, smoke-free, efficient burn. Our wicks are pre-trimmed and ready to light right out of the box. For those who concern themselves with the details, our candles are non-GMO, GMM-free, kosher and vege-certified, vegan, phthalate-free, paraben-free, skin-safe, and while they can’t be officially certified as such, they’re virtually food-safe and organic, though we’d advise against eating them no matter how great they smell; they WILL NOT taste that way. Soy wax is a sustainable, renewable, biodegradable, and water-soluble product so not only is it environmentally conscious, if it’s spilled it cleans up very easily with warm water and soap! Plus it's clean-burning, soot-free, and has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, so even at it's melting point while burning it will not burn the skin, making it a wonderful option for those with children or pets. The best way to sell candles is to have them out where people can smell them. Try burning one of our tester candles on your counter and you’ll be hard-pressed to keep the boxes on the shelves!

A Perfect Pear When you think of France the obvious smells are florals, baked goods, wine, and cheese. One that is often overlooked, but delightful, is that of the french pear. Grown wild all over, the aromas are intoxicating. Be it wandering an orchard or riding through a village in Provence with a basket full of pears on your bike, once you've experienced it it's impossible to forget.
Featuring notes of crisp pear and guiacwood.
Baba’s Babka Whether you have a Baba, an Oma, a Yaya, a Nonna, or just a regular, garden-variety Grandma, one thing is likely for certain: she bakes one hell of a mean spice cake. I mean the smell of her home on a slow day is enough to make you weak in the knees and long for goodies, but when she's in the kitchen baking it's enough to knock your socks off. Rich, buttery, heavily spiced and equally sweet, warm in every sense of the word... this scent will have you calling on your favourite lady for a baked favour. Ice-cold milk not included. Featuring notes of cinnamon, oats, warm butter, caramelized brown sugar, jasmine, and vanilla.
Blushing Magnolia This scent exudes beauty in every sense of the word. Think of a blushing bride, a glorious southern plantation, an Aztec valley filled with luscious pink flowers. Even the men are captivated by the magnolia’s glory, and after experiencing this scent we think you might become smitten, too.
Featuring notes of magnolia, violet, carnation, citrus, sandalwood and powder.

Croatian Scentsation If you've never been to the Mediterranean or Balkan regions before, you more than likely have dreamed of it, and rightfully so. It's breathtaking, picturesque, and everything you imagine it might be and more. The food, the wine, the sights and sounds, but more important (clearly) are the smells. You can find a vineyard or olive grove on just about any country road, and often within the confines of small towns. Herbs and citrus trees are everywhere. You simply cannot escape these smells, and frankly why would you want to?!
Featuring notes of sweet olive, green grass, citrus leaf, ripe citrus, red apple, with an herbal infusion of eucalyptus & rosemary, and a base of cedar and musk.
Currant Affair Strolling through the woods, dew glistening on the leaves, the sun peeks through the canopy ever so gently. The air is almost ethereal, with sweet and oaky notes alongside the earthy moss that coats the ground. Be it in Banff, Tofino, or Tahoe; this scent is unmistakable and hauntingly beautiful.
Featuring notes of black currants, warm woodsy oak, and earthy moss.
For Fig’s Sake! Lake Como is known as the cottage getaway for the rich and famous, but lurking in
the shadows of celebrity are the true stars: the figs. Scattered around the area you’ll discover fig, bergamot, and lemon trees. The aroma is invigorating. It’s no wonder George looks as good as he does at his age!
Featuring notes of fig, bergamot, herbs, musk, and woods.

Pipe Dream If tobacco is bad for you, why does it smell so damn good??? It's one of those
substances that can entirely transcend a mood with just one whiff of the pipe. Gone are the days of the tobacconists in every mall, the canisters of glorious loose-leaf wafting their beautiful aromas throughout the room, like one giant humidor. It's truly the definition of a simple yet complex scent.
Featuring the earthy notes of sweet tobacco leaves.

The perfect start to a lazy day, before having to jump into the Monday-est of Mondays.

503 Cups... “Oh, I can't stop drinking the coffee... I stop drinking the coffee, then I stop doing the standing & walking & the words-putting-into sentence doing” You don't have to be a Gilmore Girls fan to be jonesing for a good cup of Java, but it helps! And for those times when drinking your favorite espresso just isn't an option: you've got 503 Cups, the exact number of cups of coffee that Lorelai & Rory are seen drinking during the series.

Adelaide
Ophelia
Often found curled up in a comfy chair in the sunniest nook of the house, reading a worn leather-bound copy of her favourite book “Little Women”, Adelaide is the picture of quiet beauty. More likely to be behind the scenes than in front of a crowd, she's often seen as a wallflower, and that's just fine with her.
Whether its bombing through the city on her Triumph, or trekking through the back-streets of Tokyo solo, Ophelia always walks a little on the wild side. Notorious for sneaking her father's cigars when she was a teen, old habits die hard and she likes things to be both spicy and sweet.
Her favourite perfume is light and floral with notes of yuzu, lavender and vanilla.
Her favourite perfume is smoky and warm with notes of tobacco and vanilla.
Rosalie
Zaida
The fast-paced life of a fashion buyer isn't for everyone, but for Rosalie it challenges her to think outside the box, and keeps her on her toes! Immersed daily in shimmering fabrics and luxurious leathers, she has a love for all things feminine and flirty. Who say's you can't have your dream life?
The smoke parts as she enters the club, like a curtain pulled by an invisible cord. Elegant yet sensual, she moves through the room with a presence all her own. She feels eyes upon her and looks around, only to discover with surprise that they’re full of intelligence and curiousity. He’s dressed and tressed, and so like a moth to a flame she floats over to his table. He invites her to sit, but Zaida boldly leans in, takes a sip of his scotch and turns away to the dance floor. The questions is, will he follow?
Her favourite perfume brings out her girly side, with notes of rose and black currant.
Her favourite perfume reads like a song; featuring sweet apricot, exotic white musk and warmth of rich ebony.

Connoisseur Range Available in 10 oz Jars, 4 oz Travel Tins, 10 mL Perfume Rollers and 2 oz Esprit Rooms Sprays.
Augustus With all the time he spends elbow-deep into a story at the typewriter, you'd think he'd smell of paper, ink, cold coffee and old books. But for Augustus, his true passion lies outside of his study, within the orchard where he tends to a sea of citrus and pine trees. As the sun sets on his horticultural endeavours, he heads inside smelling of his one true love. Featuring notes of orange, bergamot, and pine.
Jasper Exploring the furthest shops of the bazaar, Jasper hunts for the most exotic fabrics and fragrances he can find, the stories of the artisans weaving together in the backround like a beautiful tapestry. He knows that his customers will fall in love with every treasure he brings home to his stores; and with a personality full of charm and ease, they may just fall in love with him too... and the tales he will tell. Featuring notes of exotic australian sandalwood, ylang-ylang and coriander.
Magnus By day Magnus commands respect amongst the titans of the business world. Draped in tailored suits, he longs for the quiet solace of home after a hard days work, where a smoky single-malt and a rich Churchill await. Magnus may be refined but he doesn't mess around; After all, a man should reward himself after a long day. Featuring notes of scotch and cigars.
Xavier Up at his cabin in the birch-covered mountains, life moves at an entirely different pace. Being an introvert at heart, this space grants him the freedom to dive into the lifestyle that truly lights his soul on fire: interesting books, quality hand-crafted goods, and trying to produce the most stellar cup of coffee. One of his most treasured heirlooms is the worn leather chair he and his father crafted when he was a boy, which is where you’ll find Xavier most evenings, by the fire, with his current favourite read. Featuring notes of smoke, birch, and leather.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for processing, though orders are typically shipped within 3-5 days of receiving order and payment.

Wholesale Terms Cancellations Cancelled orders will be subject to a 15% restocking fee, unless cancelled within 24 hours after placing the order.
Territory Protection It is the right of Charleston + Harlow to protect the territory of our authorized retailers. We do not want your market saturated with our candles, for that would make it difficult for each retailer to maintain minimum order and sales levels, and to be happy with the level of sales achieved with our products. In order to be considered for dedicated protected status a retailer must maintain an order level of $1,500 in a 6-month period. We reserve the right to limit or alter the protection zone in growing markets. Stock levels should be maintained in order to prevent outages.
Product Storage Our candles are made of a 100% natural wax and do not contain any UV Inhibitors. Keep out of direct sunlight when displaying. Though prolonged exposure to sunlight will not affect the candle’s performance, it can cause some yellowing of the wax. Remember that candles are made of a natural wax and as such have a melting point of 125-130F. Store in a cool, dry, dark location, and be sure not to display product in direct sunlight or near a heat source to ensure wax doesn’t sweat. Storefronts should ideally be air-conditioned for summer months to protect all of your products, and staff for that matter! They melt too!
Account Termination Charleston & Harlow reserves the right to refuse or cancel wholesale rights on any account if we feel our product isn’t being adequately represented by the retailer, or if our brand is being compromised.
Indemnity Charleston & Harlow retains all rights to the packaging, product, and branding of our products at all times. As a retailer it is your responsibility to ensure this isn’t compromised in any fashion. Product must be sold as the Charleston + Harlow brand unless otherwise agreed upon in writing by our wholesale department. Stockist’s shop or location is the only approved location or channel for the resale of our products.

Resources Merchandising If you’d like suggestions with how to merchandise our products in your shop we’d be happy to provide assistance. We can provide scent signage and table tents to help with the display and promotion of our candles. Success for you means success for us, so working together means everyone wins!
Public Relations Word of mouth is arguably the best form of advertising for both physical shops and online retailers. We utilize bloggers, stylists, trend-setters, and the publications and sites they frequent to reach out to our clients and fans. We encourage you and your clients to share their style or product photos with both you and us on either facebook, instagram, or via email. It gives your brand exposure, and we love nothing more than to help promote our retailers in return. Everybody scratch a back and keep the advertising dollars where they belong: in our own pockets.
Burn In Store There’s no better way to sell our candles than to burn them. At $9 for shop burners and approximately 55 hours of burn time, a single jar will last weeks if you only burn for 2-3 hours at a time. Light ‘em up, smell up the place, extinguish for a couple hours during the slow, mid-day period, and then spark them back up for the later crowd. How many more candles will you sell if they are not simply displayed but also burning behind the counter? We think substantially more! The small added cost to you will be dwarfed in comparison to the additional units you’ll move as a result!
Let’s Get Social! Follow us on Instagram and like us on Facebook, and we’ll return the favour. Tune into our Instagram feed for promotions and be sure to tell your customers about our regular contests found there as well. @charlestonandharlow
