About Dewdrop Mystique

Hi there! My name is Josh Quigley, and I’m the owner and creator of Dewdrop Mystique, a small-batch candle and home fragrance studio based in Tennessee.

Like many of us, I spent years feeling like there had to be more to life than the daily grind. I had everything I needed: a comfortable home, a reliable car, and two amazing fur babies. Still, something felt missing.

That changed one evening when I lit a candle. As the warm glow filled the room and the air carried soft notes of vanilla and cedar, I realized how powerful fragrance can be. In that quiet moment, I felt calm, grounded, and reminded of home and simpler times.

That experience sparked my passion for creating scents that tell a story. I wanted to make candles and home fragrances that feel personal, comforting, and meaningful.

I dove headfirst into the craft, learning wick science, blending waxes, experimenting with cleaner ingredients, and carefully sourcing materials. After months of late nights, testing, and research, Dewdrop Mystique was born. It became a collection of hand-poured candles, wax melts, and room sprays designed to bring warmth and authenticity into everyday spaces.

Today, every product is made in small batches with care and intention. My ceramic candle collection is crafted using natural soy and coconut wax blends as a cleaner, more eco-conscious option. Select para-soy candles remain part of the lineup and are clearly separated within the shop. Across all collections, the focus remains on quality, thoughtful design, and fragrances that feel both nostalgic and new.

I’m mindful of the environmental impact of what I create. While some packaging still relies on plastic, I make intentional choices to limit its use whenever possible and continue exploring better alternatives as the brand grows.

Thank you for being part of this journey and for choosing to make Dewdrop Mystique part of your home.
