Faroy Candles

Faroy candles are known worldwide but many people do not know how this business got its start. Two college friends started the Faroy candles business from their garage one Christmas time when they were looking to make an inexpensive Christmas gift for each other. These Faroy candles turned out really nicely and a Houston fashion buyer asked if he could sell some Faroy candles in his store. From there Faroy candles spread to New York then Boston where they were great hits to the point that Preston Frazier and Addison McElroy quit college and began making Faroy candles full time.

Hello
I noticed on a web site that Faroy has been revived and is to begin again in July of 2007.

I remember Preston Frazier when he lived on Westbury Square a long time ago. PLease tell me more about the revival of Faroy and if Faroy is once again producing candles in Houston. I would very much like to work for Faroy and do have some experience that would lend itself well to such a venture.

Thank You for your time.

Would LOVE to find some patchouli Faroy candles. Have tried others but not the same wonderful fragrance as the Faroy. Are they coming back?

Thanks,

D. Strode

Yes - Valencia! That was my favorite scent for studying. It made me so happy that the studying didn’t seem so bad. And their Patchouli is the best. I’m headed for Pier One today and I sure hope they have my candles. I hardly bother to buy candles anymore since I haven’t been able to find Faroy. The boutique-y brands are too expensive and they don’t have the scents I love. BTW, the Patchouli is great for masking the litter box, for you cat owners out there.

Are the Patchouli candles that Pier I sells the same ones that Faroy use to make?

I really MISS the Faroy Patchouli candles. I always got so many compliments on how nice my home smelled.
