About Werther & Gray

WERTHER & GRAY is a candle company and fragrance house based in Delaware.

The name is derived from Goethe’s The Sorrows of Young Werther, and Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray, two literary works that bookend the Romantic era. This pairing speaks to the brand's essence, a swirling blend of passion and beauty, melancholy and decadence.

Each fragrance is conceived and formulated by the designer and owner, ensuring that every candle is a thoughtful, artful composition. The historical-inspired aesthetic and presentation is custom and elevated, transforming functional objects into precious vessels of indulgence.

Since its establishment in 2015, Werther & Gray has shipped candles all over the world and has been stocked by numerous museums, cultural institutions, and boutique gift shops.
