Our Spring Collection has SPRUNG 🌱

Our Spring Collection is built around those first soft days of the season, with the windows cracked open, the breeze carrying in fresh air, and that subtle shift when your home feels fresh again. Each scent is intentional, grounded in nature, and crafted to bring a calming mood to your everyday spaces.

The Collection Includes:
- Bergamot + Black Tea: A serene morning ritual. Crisp citrus softens into warm, steeped tea for a centered, everyday calm.

- Clover + Moss: Green and grounding. A walk across damp spring grass with soft clover and earthy moss.

- Peppermint + Eucalyptus: Refreshingly pure. Cool mint and airy eucalyptus create a clear, bright reset.

- Linen + Cedarwood: Clean, quiet, and airy. Fresh linen layered with warm cedar for an easy, effortless kind of comfort.

-Lemon + Sage: Sunny and herbaceous. Vibrant lemon zest balanced by soft, calming sage.

- Amber + White Violet: Soft and radiant. Powdery florals meet warm amber for a delicate, glowing finish.

Happy Febraury! This month, we've got a modern romantic. This blend opens with soft, dewy rose petals; fresh, elegant, and never overpowering. As it warms, creamy sandalwood settles in, adding depth and a subtle earthiness that feels grounding and calm. The result is a balanced floral-wood scent that’s both comforting and refined.

Perfect for slow mornings, evening unwinds, or anytime your home needs a touch of quiet luxury.

Oakmoss + Amber has universal appeal with rich woody and musk base notes - yet has an enchanting fusion of herbs and amber that give it a feminine touch, too. This candle is infused with natural essential oils, including sage, lavender, and orange. It's been around for a loooooong time (8 years!). Have you tried it?

Dreaming of warmer, sun-drenched days in the looooooongest month of the year? Seriously, how are we not out if January yet?

Fresh Cut Grass smells like a just-mowed lawn on a warm day—clean, green, and instantly nostalgic. That first deep breath of summer, in candle form.

Cold weather means warm drinks ☕ and warm candles.

Spicy Chai is that instant cozy feeling—warm cinnamon, cardamom, and clove blended with creamy vanilla and black tea. Comforting, nostalgic, and perfect for making home feel inviting.

Coffee Beans is bold, rich, and straight-to-the-point. Think fresh espresso grounds with a deep, roasted aroma that wakes up any room.

Coffee House captures the warmth of your favorite café; smooth espresso, a hint of sweetness, and that creamy latte comfort you never want to leave.

Apparently it's Opposite Day… so whatever you do, do NOT buy our candles.
Don’t even think about making your house smell amazing.
Ignore the shelves completely.
Walk right past us.

Seriously. Don’t.

Oak Lane Candle Co.

Who we are: Oak Lake Candle Co. is a natural, eco-friendly soy wax candle shop located in the heart of Ames, Iowa. We use all natural soy wax so you can be sure that your burn is clean and natural. Soy wax burns cleaner and longer than regular candles and is produced by American farmers. We use phthalate-free fragrance in all of our candles and a lead-free wick.

In 2014 my husband and I started an adoption process of (what would be) adopting our son and daughter from Uganda. With such a large sum of money to raise at a small amount of time, I thought of trying something I had always wanted to try as a hobby; candle making. I researched and tested and after countless hours, wax, wicks, and fragrances, I eventually found the perfect candle. These candles helped us raise the money to finish our adoption process and in March of 2017, we brought them home. The passion for creating candles has stuck with me, and here we are!

The Candle: Our 9 oz. and 16 oz. candles have a sleek, straight jar with a white tin lid. 9 oz. candles have a burn time of 40-60 hours and 16 oz. have a burn time of 80-120 hours, when properly maintained. Trim your wick to ¼ inch prior to every single burn. This ensures proper burning. The first time you burn your candle, burn it for a few hours, no more than four. Soy wax has a memory, so the first burn is important in making sure you have a proper melting pool. Soy wax has a very natural look and may develop frosting. This is the nature of soy candles and will not affect the burning or scent.
