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.

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
A perfect warm scent. I just adore this candle.
My experience ordering from Pine and Sage candles went smoothly. Ordering from the web site was easy! I was kept well informed regarding my purchase. I gave the candles I ordered as gifts. I will be ordering more for myself!
I absolutely love the Ponderosa Pine, River Run and Wine Cellar. I have more to try! The candles, and the room & linen sprays are amazing!! My only disappointment is when they are sold out!! (There's a reason they sell out!) You won't be disappointed!
These candles are incredible — the scent fills the room without being overpowering, and they burn evenly and cleanly every time. The packaging is beautiful and makes them perfect for gifting (or keeping for yourself!). I’ve tried several scents, and each one smells high-quality and authentic, not artificial. They instantly make my home feel cozy and inviting. Highly recommend for anyone who loves candles that look as good as they smell!
All of Pine and Sage Candles and scents are lovely. My favorites are Ponderosa Pine and River Run.
Ahhh-mazing!!!!!! Love love love! Ponderosa pine and mountain trail are the best!
I first received a set as a gift and my next purchase was for two friends as gifts. The scents of these candles are fresh like outdoors but also do fill the inside air with a subtle scent that does not overwhelm. Perfect, I'd say.
Pine and Sage candles are some of my absolutely favorites. I love the different size options including buying inserts for the large bowls to refill. The scents are some of the best out there.
Such an awesome candle! The scent, the presentation… I love these candles! This small business does an amazing job!
I gave this to a friend, but I love this one too so I’ll be ordering one for myself! It is just perfect for sitting with a book… and relaxing!
Oh my goodness, I love this spray. There’s a bit of outdoor and some beautiful sweet notes in this linen spray. I use it in my short term rental and in my home.
Lovely. Light scent. A bit like the wafting of huckleberry pie from the oven…. Just enough to cause a smile. Close your eyes and breathe in the Montana woods at harvest.
