New Hampshire Magazine Unique and Delightful Local Candles Made in NH You may have missed Ross Mingarelli’s CandleTree Soy Candles in Concord – it’s only 84 square feet May 19, 2021 Smelling a crayon can take you back to your childhood. Ross Mingarelli of CandleTree Soy Candles puts wicks in scented wax to take you wherever you want to go. Mixing a pinch of this, a thimbleful of that into his secret candle potions, he works in a space the size of a Hobbit’s closet on Concord’s Main Street, yet displays upward of 1,000 candles at a time. Wild blueberry, fresh tangerine, buttered popcorn — even dill pickle and beef jerky. So flick a Bic, spin up some light jazz, and just kick back to dancing lights and simmering scents. Choose your pleasure, inhale and enjoy. Ah, the good life, illuminated.
