Our Story
Making Scents Out of Life
Ouch! In the fall of 2020, my beautiful MT Autumn just turned into a fall (the other kind of fall). A slight mishap found me in the emergency room with a broken right foot. Hobbling around in a big, obtrusive boot and homebound, I decided to try my hand at making a few candles. Arming myself with a lot of internet videos and a starter candle making kit, I jumped in. Before long, I began trialing different waxes and a multitude of scents. If I couldn't get out and enjoy the Montana outdoors, then it's majesty was going to have to come to me...in the form of candles and aromatic candle fragrances.
A lot of trial and error went into those early candles, but friends and family liked the results. My husband and I transformed the basement into a candle studio, and my evenings and weekends were spent producing a candle with a non toxic, slow burning wax, coupled with an array of unique, Montana inspired scents. With a lot more experimentation, a re-usable concrete vessel was born. With a striking glow and a splash of copper, it too, brought the great Montana outdoors into our home.
We are blessed to have a gently sloping backyard filled with pine and sage with a magnificent Bitterroot Mountain backdrop. Deer and elk meander at will. It is this inspiring view that led to the formation of Pine and Sage Candles. In some small way, we hope our candles may bring just a little bit of the beauty of the great Montana outdoors into your home.
We hope you enjoy our candles.

Some of our customer reviews...
Our Candles
All of our candles are hand poured in small batches in our studio in Stevensville, Montana. We use plant based, all natural coconut wax.
Why coconut wax instead of soy wax?
Coconuts do not require fertilizer or pesticides to grow, unlike soy wax. Coconuts are harvested by hand, non-GMO, eco-friendly and a sustainable crop. Coconut wax is known for its ability to burn slowly and cleanly. As a consumer, you get more bang for your buck because your candle will last longer. The 6 oz tins will burn for approxiamtely 40 hours. Coconut wax is also known for an optimal hot throw. Hot throw is very important. This is the strength of the smell of the candle when lit in a room.
We use pthalate free fragrance oils blended with quality ingredients, including essential oils.
Our vessels can be repurposed. The handmade concrete bowls are easy to clean and offer a new life after enjoying your candle. The candle tins can be recycled if you choose not to reuse.

Let customers speak for us
Never been disappointed with any candle from Leslie. The scent on this beauty is so fall like and just perfect. Even when it’s NOT burning you get the aroma. So wonderful I have ordered two more for gift for Thanksgiving hostess gifts.
Leslie makes high quality, wonderful smelling candles in a variety of sizes, and canister styles. The best part is that she sells refills and provides instructions on how to easily clean and install the refill!
I burn candles mostly every day and this candle has the best fragrance I’ve ever had and it’s a good clean burn. My favorite candle
Leslie creates such thoughtful combinations of smells curated for whatever mood you are in and they are packaged beautifully. Knowing they are made of all natural ingredients gives me peace of mind and makes the decision to buy all my candles from Pine and Sage an easy one. Thank you so much! Love, love your candles 🫶
Again these wonderfully scented candles did not disappoint. The fragrances are just luscious. I can't even decide which is my favorite. I'm a scentaholic and these feed my addiction. They're fabulous
I first received your candle s as a birthday gift in April, now I’m giving the sets to two of my dear friends for there special day of celebration. I love mine and will certainly be buying more. Thank you🤩
These candles are stellar! Fabulous, fresh outdoor scents are perfect. Purchased for my son, but I'll be buying for myself also.
The scent is lovely and festive, but not overbearing. The concrete bowls are gorgeous, just a work of art.
For my son who loves spice scents. Hell love this. It's warm, spiced but not overbearing. Good one.
I've bought ponderosa pine for myself and as gifts. Maybe my favorite. Fresh and woodsy.
The concrete bowls are very clever and the fragrances are exceptional. I have given as special gifts and friends love them too!
