Timothy Jay

I love Timothy & his candles. I knew him years ago and used to hang out at his shop and watch the process. Great candles & very fragrant.

I love these candles !!! The staff here is small, and so is the shop, but the attention to detail and the perfectly balanced, sublimely scented candles are the main attraction
The Perfect Gardenia is divine — but all of his custom scented candles are heavenly. I have them around my house and keep a couple on hand «just in case». Hedges is another fav as well as Foliage. There is truly a scent here to please all palates (olfactory palate???)
I have given many of his splendid candles as gifts over the past few years, and the presentation provided by Tim and his staff is superb! And honestly, every person I have gifted with one of Tim’s candles always comments on how lovely they are to burn.
My special secret –Timothy Jay will do custom labels for your special occasions (please be sure to give him a little heads up), and they will even ship your candle order to any far flung locale, where they will arrive on time, beautifully boxed and ready for you.
I don’t buy any other candles, and why should I !! I have found the best.

The very best candles on the planet. For at least a year now, I have never been without a private stash of these until this last week — and I let myself burn my last one! Bad mistake — I am now in a panic and can’t wait until I have my gardenia back in my life! Restocking my fav’s today (gardenia!)!

Timothy Jay Candles rock my world! They also make great quality gifts… Black Orchid and Gardenia are my favorites…

I am always impressed by amazing service, and Timothy completely wowed me with his. I sent a thank you gift to someone who lives in Spain, Timothy not only researched various shipping prices, he figured out the best way to send, THEN personally made a trip to the post office for the right one rate box that same morning! Unreal! And SO appreciated. He saved me about 60 bucks on shipping. (THANK YOU. I feel like I should send YOU a Timothy Jay Candle!)
He then took photo’s of the gift so I could see how it looked and emld them to me, and it was of course gorgeous, and once again he went above and beyond the norm, without me even asking.
I highly recommend Timothy’s candles, they make the most amazing gifts, the packaging is pure luxury, and Timothy will go out of his way to make sure his customers have the best service possible.

I own a small boutique consulting firm in Los Angeles and my target clients are CEOs and CFOs not to mention very A-​Type Auditors that are very particular about everything. I used in the past a generic low priced gift basket company and finally got an ugly wake up call when one of my clients shared with me the labeling that my Holiday gift basket came in. It was awful and looked so tacky. I knew that if I’m going to survive in this economy I need to make a great first impression, and lasting second, third… impressions. I ordered Timothy Jay’s handmade candles recently when a prospective client moved to a new organization.
What a magical impact. They loved the candles, the amazing packaging and also wonderful hand written card. I’m using Timothy Jay now for all my business related gift baskets.

Grrrrrrr-​8 little boutique homemade candle shop!
Timothy was so inviting and helpful with selecting a candle for a friends birthday. Personally I think candles make great gifts and really nice ones at that are faaabuulous little splurges that people hardly ever indulge themselves in. He has a little smelling table when you walk in so you can sniff away till your heart, or well nose in this matter is content. He has some wonderful options that differ from your Votivo’s or Volcano candles. My fav’s that I most certainly will go back for are the Mandarin (a mix of orange and vanilla), Flax (beautiful, subtle «oh my god I can’t put my finger on it but it smells amazing!), the always lovely Currant, and the I think I might make love to this candle scent «Fig Geranium» Oh my gaaud! Seriously it smells like a beautiful combination of floral and a delicious men’s cologne. I practically had to pry it away from my nose and even then I kept picking it back up to get another whiff. I probably looked like a crazy person doing that in public so I will have to go back and buy one and do it in the privacy of my own home.
Anywho if you are shopping around for that «Hmm what do I buy him/​her» gift, stop in here and Timothy will make all your smelling fantasies come true and besides its nice supporting a small operation.
By the way it is just off of Santa Monica Blvd at Harper by the Gardens of Taxco. There are meters but free street parking is up just a block. :)

Words cannot express how much I love Timothy Jay Candles!
This place is the best kept secret in West Hollywood. The tiny little shop is tucked right off Santa Monica Blvd. and would be easy to miss if it wasn’t for the delicious scent that hangs in the air around it. You can literally follow your nose to Timothy’s door.
The shop is teeny but well stocked with candles in a huge variety of unusual scents like Perfect Gardenia, Hedges, and High Tea. The candles are handmade and poured on the premises (thus that sweet lingering smell).
Tim is usually in the shop and happy to offer advice and stories about where he found the inspiration for his incredible scents. They also do custom orders for events, and for the hospitality industry.
All of the candles come beautifully packaged in boxes with matching bows and they are happy to ship candles directly from the shop for gifting.
This has become my go-​to gift spot for birthday and holidays.
