Why Choose Our Candles?

Odor Neutralization that Actually Works

Each candle is infused with our exclusive PureNorth™ Odor Neutralization Technology, powered by Metazene®, to break down stubborn odors at the molecular level. Whether it’s pet smells, gym bags, teenage bedrooms, or last night’s dinner experiment, PureNorth™ clears the air naturally. All without using heavy perfumes or overpowering fragrance.

Don't mask odors - Neutralize them!

PureNorth™ Odor Neutralization Technology

Gray Duck Candle Co.'s PureNorth™ Odor Neutralization Technology combines infant- and pet-safe scent chemistry with advanced odor-neutralizing science, powered by Metazene®, to eliminate unwanted smells at the molecular level.

Developed and designed in Minnesota, PureNorth™ delivers a crisp, clean experience inspired by the Northwoods.

Metazene® is a registered trademark of Alpha Aromatics.

Two-Year Scent Proving Process

At Gray Duck Candle Co., every fragrance goes through an intensive research and development process to ensure exceptional performance and safety. For each scent, we create 10–15 unique test formulations, refining the balance of fragrance oils, wax, and our PureNorth™ Odor Neutralization Technology.

Each formula then undergoes up to two years of stability and performance testing to confirm long-term scent reliability and clean burning. This extended testing also ensures that our PureNorth™ system does not degrade or interact negatively with the scent oils. The process helps reveal and eliminate any low-quality or adulterated oils that are cut with alcohols or fillers.

The result is a candle you can trust, one that delivers a consistent, clean fragrance from first light to final burn.

Thoughtfully Tested for Your Home

To ensure an even and consistent burn, with perfectly balanced scents that subtly fill your space with relaxing and enjoyable scents (except for the Chocolate-Espresso-Bourbon candle...you can't be subtle with Chocolate and Espresso), each candle undergoes rigorous testing in real homes and offices in over a dozen states across the U.S.

We only sell candles we love to use ourselves.

Crafted for a Cleaner Burn

We prioritize a healthy and clean burn for all of our candles, utilizing infant- and pet-safe ingredients and scent oils, as well as blending our own proprietary wax blend, made from apricot, coconut, and soy waxes, that burns cleaner, lasts longer, and is free from paraffin and palm waxes. It's as close to smoke-free as you can get, creating a healthier home environment for the bigs, littles, and pets in your life.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable

From waxes to wicks, we prioritize sustainability by using non-toxic, phthalate-free materials and U.S.-manufactured sustainable ingredients. Even our containers are designed for reuse, featuring removable labels and exclusive artist-created lid designs.

Unique, Artisan Design

Our candles combine exceptional craftsmanship with exclusive artwork, making them as beautiful as they are functional. They're perfect for gifts, home decor, or personal indulgence.
