Sawdust & Embers

Garland, TXBrand · Candles

Candles for lived-in rooms and the rituals that happen in them. Sawdust & Embers began in 2016 when John and Brett Marquez turned a candle-making hobby into a small business in Garland, Texas. The idea was simple: fragrance should feel like part of everyday life—not something reserved for special occasions. We create balanced, atmospheric candles shaped by distinctive places, natural materials, familiar textures, and the memories attached to them. Our candles are made for quiet rituals: morning coffee at the kitchen table, evenings on the sofa, and the in-between moments that give a space its character. Each one is poured in Texas using a soy wax blend and cotton wick. Four collections now express that idea in different ways. Foundations is our original amber-glass lineup. Botanica interprets the atmosphere and energy of living things. Folklore turns myth, landscape, and memory into fragrance. Ethereal Journeys explores introspection, atmosphere, and the inward journey. Crafted from tradition. Inspired by nature.
