Meet the Maker

Hi, I'm Ivy, the founder and maker behind Five Thirty PM Candle Co®.

By day, I'm a nonprofit tax accountant. After work, you'll usually find me pouring candles, testing new fragrances, packing orders, or preparing for the next market.

I started Five Thirty PM Candle Co® because I wanted candles that felt comforting instead of overpowering. What began as a personal search became a passion for creating thoughtfully balanced fragrances for scent-sensitive homes.

Every candle is hand-poured with care, and I'm grateful to share them with customers online, at local markets and events, and at our retail locations in Maryland and Washington, DC.

More Than a Candle

A candle is more than fragrance; it's part of the moments that make a house feel like home. Whether you're winding down after a long day, sharing a quiet evening, or searching for a thoughtful gift, our candles are created to complement those everyday rituals with clean, balanced fragrance.
