BREATH OF THE WEST—Wyoming Sagebrush Candles

BREATH OF THE WEST™ is home of the original Wyoming Sagebrush Candle.

These candles originated in Frannie, Wyoming, in 1928, and have been in continuous, evolving production ever since.

Today, the entire manufacturing process takes place in Powell, Wyoming, just 20 miles west of Frannie. The candles reflect our Western tradition. We gather our prairie sage at peak season, May, when the leaves are fresh and fragrant. We then incorporate the sage into our handcrafted candles.

Sagebrush candles are a treasured tradition in our family, and we are happy to be able to share them with you.

Recycled packaging materials are used whenever possible.

I AM ONLY A SAGEBRUSH CANDLE,
but to you Exiles in far places my fragrance is like a Breath of the West, reminding you of evening campfires along creek bottoms, dewy mountain mornings on some high plateau, spring rains, starlit nights where stars are large and close and friendly.

I bring memories of a favorite horse, the smell and creak of leather,
bright sunlight, purple shadows, the coyote's lonesome call,
above all else, the infinite silence and quiet majesty of the mountains.

To others who have never known the sagebrush land, my pungent odor
will somehow remind you of these things. I am only a sagebrush candle,
just a little ....
