About Frères Branchiaux Candle Co.

Frerés Branchiaux Candle Co. is an award winning artisanal candle company based in Washington, DC created and managed by 3 brothers, Collin (14), Ryan (11), and Austin Gill (9). In October 2017, the young Gill brothers wanted more allowance to purchase video games. Mama and Dad Gill told them that they had maxed out their toy allowance and to either “get a job or start a business” if they wanted more money. They decided to start a business. Mama Gill attended a candle-making workshop and then taught the brothers. They now combine their own scents with the finest fragrance oils, hand pour each candle in small batches, and have even added accessories such as room sprays and diffusers. All of our candles are made using a domestic proprietary soy wax blend, cotton core wicks, fine fragrance oils, and apothecary inspired packaging. The small-batch creations are made of the finest ingredients. Our candle jars are finished off with a simple kraft label and black lid. We have been featured in the Washington Post, Good Morning America, CBS Evening News, and numerous media outlets. We have also been awarded the the DC Chamber of Commerce Youth Entrepreneur of the Year award, Role Model Award, Best of DC, Youth who Make a Difference Award, and Excel Youth Mentoring Youth Entrepreneur of the Year finalist. Our goal is to create quality candles that everyone can afford. Everyone deserves the comforts of fragrant candles to uplift their mood and beautify their homes. Our motto is SmellRead their story
