Sparta Candle Co.

I’ve followed Sparta Candle Co. on social media for a while and was SO excited when I finally got to visit. It’s a hip storefront with divine smelling candles and soaps. I’m a candle fanatic and the candles I purchased burn clean, last for a LONG time, and smell wonderful. Highly recommend Luna and Thunderstorm, as well as the holiday scents. I also appreciate that it’s a woman owned company that offers a stellar place to work for its staff(the staff raves about it when I was shopping!). Can’t wait to go back!

I found Sparta Candle Co. through social media and their Taylor Swift soaps and wow, what a great company! I’ve made two purchases that included multiple soaps and a candle. My orders arrived quickly and I was impressed by both the quality of their products and their packaging (sustainable and cute). Their soaps smell amazing and are almost too pretty to use. I gave these reputation ones as gifts. I'll be ordering again!

I’m a long time fan and customer of SCC. This review is to share how Jennifer and the SCC team supported a milestone moment of gratitude. I asked if they would help us as we built two gift baskets for mom’s caregivers: the nursing staff at Trinity Grove’s Airlie by the Sea hall and the hospice team from Amedisys. Jennifer helped us choose one of my favorite soaps (art!) that was particularly pink & purple toned in this run. The team placed special labels “Not all heroes wear capes” for us. Then, we added hand lotion in a favorite fragrance. Everything was shipped with love and care in plenty of time for our gift basket assembly at home. The photo attached is after my sis filled in the basket with goodies. The point is the customer service, the responsiveness, and the care. I appreciate this Sparta NC based business!

These products are the best!! I've been a fan of the Thunderstorm candle scent for a year, ever since I purchased one in store. More recently we were able to begin stocking their soaps & body cremes in out vacation homes in Lake Tahoe-our guest love it! The added bonus of this process was we got to order a TON of body cremes, lotions, and sample soaps while picking out the scents for our homes! Let me tell you, they are all works of art, even the sample sizes, and they smell absolutely amazing! Having their products in our homes really helps us elevate our guests experience. We can wait to order even more!

I've been following this company's social media for a long time and I haven't gotten to visit their store yet. However, I did receive their Folklore soap as a Christmas gift and it's the best bar soap I've ever used. It's beautifully crafted, smells wonderful, and it's moisturizing!! Best bar of soap I've ever had and it's so pretty

I placed an order a couple months ago to try this soap. The first time I used 'Fearless' I instantly new I was in trouble. After MULTIPLE orders at this point, it's easy to say, I'm hooked. The soap makes my skin SO soft and it smells amazing! I have even got my husband into using it and it all started for him,trying the sample soap. Great company!

Bought this candle for me and my bf’s anniversary and we already love it!! The scent was perfect for him and he’s really excited to light it while he studies. They also wrote a cute note after I asked, which I really appreciated and loved! Thank you guys so much!! We def will keep buying from you guys!! <3

Absolutely incredible soaps. I follow the account through social media and was gifted a bar of Golden Hour, and have been able to try Thunderstorm. They are not only beautifully made, but have incredible scent and a rich lather. Looking forward to future purchases! The next time we make it out to the Carolina’s we’ll absolutely be stopping in. I recommend this to family and friends here in Iowa all the time. Excellent value, good people, fast shipping.

I ordered the afterglow soap and candle. WOW!!! wonderful smell and gorgeous packaging. The candle is bigger than I thought, what a great surprise! The soap is gorgeous and soft. I will only order my candles from this company this day on! Great company with compostable packing peanuts which is wonderful to see from businesses.

I came across this shop via Tik Tok and couldn’t have been more pleased! This is the first order of many. All of the soaps smell good and they’re all works of art! They included a sample of Harvest Moon soap, and I plan on ordering that one next. The prices were very fair for what I received, especially compared to big brand stores who price their items similarly in my area. If you’re planning to have these items shipped, their products are worth the wait. I would highly recommend!

Ordered the “afterglow” soap after seeing the cutest TikTok about it, I’m a huge Swiftie! I also ordered samples on the fairytale, library, and Luna soaps. They all are so cute, smell amazing, and came in such cute packaging! The company also included a free sample of their “good vibes” soap, and I’m so glad because it’s one of my favorites! Wonderful company with great products, will definitely be purchasing again in the future!

Placed an order here for the Holly and Spruce soap and the Cranberry Frost soap. When I received them I was amazed by how wonderful the scents were. Just placed an order for more and will only buy soap here from now on. Customer Service is excellent also.

My sister got me the debut soap as a Christmas gift. She found Duane on TikTok and knew I love anything Taylor swift themed. I guess Duane has become a big hit as she said he was sold out of everything except the Debut bar around the holidays. This soap has exceeded my expectations!! Everytime I walk by my bathroom I get a whiff of the soap :). Anyways, I ordered some back in stock items last week and am so excited to use my new scents!

Sparta Candle Company produces the most incredible candles! Especially loved Spruce & Holly for the Christmas season, and I have already stocked up for 2024! The scents and burn time are long-lasting and the clever names are so relevant and creative. Especially having local roots to the area myself, it fills my heart to see our small town displayed so beautifully.

I've been a dedicated customer since the beginning of SCC existence and even ordered mini candles as favors for our mountain wedding reception. "Ball & Chain" was our whimsical theme, with the scent of "Hawks Produce" (when it was available). Currently, the "Swiftie" collection is a household favorite.

It's hard to improve on the quality of product and customer service when it's already at a stellar high, but somehow Sparta Candle Company continues to impress! I just have one thing left to say to the rest of the world...
"ARE YOU READY FOR IT???"

Top quality products. The candles are amazing; they use soy wax so they have a cleaner burn. The soaps are beautiful but also practical — perfect for everyday use.

This is a great gift shop in Sparta, NC. They hand pour soy candles, they have soaps, lotions, air diffusers and room sprays. They also just started a small gift section for children. The house we rented had the Firefly candle and we burned it everyday. It smelled fabulous and I NEEDED one. While we were waiting for our lunch from Horizons Bistro, we walked down to this shop. A sweet little man was the only one working but he was very helpful. I think his daughter is the owner. The 12 oz candles are $24 but they are soy and burn slowly and cleanly. I didn’t know this but they said that soy candles get a memory, so you should burn them long enough so that it is liquid across the entire top. When you blow it out, the liquid solidifies and you still have a nice even candle. This method helps them last longer.

I love their motto, “a flame loses nothing by lighting another” and they show support to their neighboring businesses by naming candles after them. That makes it easy to choose some as mementos of your visit to Sparta. We bought the Firefly and New River.

They have online ordering and they are on Facebook and Instagram. Check them out.

Saw Duane's videos on TikTok. We visited the shop and he was so kind! Loved the Swiftie merch. All candles and soaps smelled amazing!

I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Sparta Candle Co. while in Galax, VA for a BBQ competition. They had a booth set up for the event, and I had the opportunity to meet the owner who was very kind and approachable. I bought a couple of candles at that time, Muddy Creek and Brownie Batter. The Brownie Batter, which I got for my fiance, could not smell more spot-on to the real thing. So if you have a chocolate lover in the family it's sure to be a hit. For me, the Muddy Creek scent really takes me home. It's a wonderfully woodsy scent with a dash of cologne smell, easily more on the masculine side and just makes me feel so cozy.

So on this order in particular, I bought 2 more of the Muddy Creek, one for myself, and the other to give to a friend who also appreciates masculine woodsy candles. I also received a smaller candle of the New River scent, which is quite refreshing, like clothes fresh from the dryer. It has a soft citrus undertone and is very pleasant. My package arrived in just a week. Everything was packed with care and arrived in excellent condition. I am thrilled with both of my experiences with Sparta Candle Co. so far, and I'm excited to fill my new house with happy smells!

I found Sparta Candle Co. through good ol' TikTok! Their River Rock soap video made its way to my For You Page and I thought it was interesting, I wanted to check out more. When I went through their videos and website I found out that they had a bunch of flavors that interested me, and their ingredients lists sold me! I purchased these three soaps as well as a candle. Everything smells SO wonderful and fresh, and the packaging was very secure. (Packing peanuts also dissolve in water!!!) I'm glad I found this small business through TikTok and I look forward to supporting them more in the future :-)

Found Sparta through tiktok and I am so happy that I did! I got the Spruce and Holly, High Country, and Fresh Lemon and I honestly can’t decide my favorite- they all smell incredible and exactly how I imagined. I can’t wait to use these in the shower! Also, the craftsman ship is beautiful! They look even better in person than they do online! Shout out to Cole who helped me with an issue, and to Bob and Duane who packed my box! Looking forward to what the team creates next! Highly recommend!
