About Us

Topanga Mercantile was founded by Tom Vogel, a 30 year veteran chandler (candlemaker), who has dedicated his time to perfecting the candle pouring and wick placing process to ensure the candle quality is in-keeping with the refinement of the vessels he fills. 

The candles are created in small batches and hand craft poured in Topanga Canyon with an organic, non-GMO Soy | Coconut wax blend, infused with essential oils.

The fragrances were born from many hours of euphoria, frustration, tears and triumph. We were looking, and would not settle, for anything less than a fragrance that wraps itself around you.

Our quality test has always been a candle that burns beautifully and could be lit at any time of day or night with a fragrance enjoyable to a man or a woman.
