Our History

Chesapeake Bay Candle® was founded in 1994 in coastal Maryland, taking inspiration from the natural beauty of the bay that would become the company’s namesake. Over the past three decades, our brand has been inspired by moments of wellness for the mind and body — drawing from these cues to inform our fragrance design and storytelling. Now, we’ve chosen to revisit our roots and return to our coastal heritage with a refreshed perspective as Chesapeake Bay Fragrance™.

MOOD-EVOKING FRAGRANCE,
INSPIRED BY THE CHESAPEAKE BAY

We believe in the power of fragrance to spark memories and evoke moods. Our fragrances draw inspiration from the uplifting feeling of being near the water, where joy, perspective, and connection naturally occur. Each scent is expertly crafted with our signature Spindrift Accord™ — an olfactive element exclusive to Chesapeake Bay Fragrance™, scientifically designed to capture the uplifting essence of the bay.

Our candle designs hearken back to the organic beauty of sea glass, gently tumbled into shape by ocean waves. Each candle lid is embossed with our new logo, the iconic blue heron — a symbol of grace and resilience that embodies the spirit of the Chesapeake Bay.

OUR BRAND PROMISE

Designed to spark memories and evoke moods, Chesapeake Bay Fragrance™ helps create the perfect ambiance, uplift spirits, and inspire meaningful connections. Our fragrances invite you to stay present, so you can focus on the moments — and people — that matter the most to you.
