The Foundry Candle

Overview

Founder’s Flame is a candle for the visionaries—for anyone daring to build something of their own. With uplifting notes of fresh linen, sunlit meadows, and soft sandalwood, this scent evokes clarity, grounded courage, and the spark of a new beginning.

Created as part of The Foundry by Topo Pino, this candle reflects Topo Pino’s devotion to intentional living and meaningful work. Whether you’re sketching your next idea, launching a long-held dream, or simply holding space for what’s to come, Founder’s Flame is a gentle companion to the creative process.

Hand-poured in small batches using clean-burning coconut soy wax and housed in a warm ochre-labeled vessel, it’s a celebration of vision, momentum, and the spark that started it all.

Our Process

Every Topo Pino candle is hand-poured by our founder in Portland, Maine, reflecting our belief that the making of a candle should be as intentional as the moments it creates. After carefully cleaning and labeling each vessel, the eco-friendly cotton wick is placed, and the wax and fragrance blend—crafted from premium coconut soy wax and fine fragrance oils—is precisely measured and gently poured by hand in small batches.

Each candle is finished with a protective dust cover and thoughtfully packaged in a crisp white box—creating a clean, elevated unboxing experience that reflects the care poured into every candle.
