About Timber Candle Bar & Boutique
Owner
Timber Candle Bar & Boutique was born from a reverence for atmosphere — the belief that scent, light, and ritual shape how we feel, remember, and connect.
Founded by Geraldine “Gerri” Nadeau, Timber was envisioned as more than a candle company. It is a sensory sanctuary — a place where fragrance becomes an experience and everyday moments are transformed into something quietly extraordinary.
Rooted in family and Northern Maine living, Timber is inspired by the landscape that surrounds it — endless forests, crisp air, wild florals, and the gentle rhythm of the seasons. Even the name reflects that spirit, inspired by Gerri’s beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Timber — a symbol of strength, grounding, and loyalty.
At Timber, guests become the creator — blending layered scent profiles, pouring candles, and crafting personal fragrances that feel like an extension of themselves. Every experience is unhurried and intentional, with products made using premium ingredients and a proprietary vegan wax for a clean, refined burn.
We believe in slowing down — in beauty that feels personal and craftsmanship that honors nature and experience. To enter Timber is to step into warmth, creativity, and calm. To leave is to carry a glow, a fragrance, and a memory waiting to be made.

The Art of Scent, The Ritual of Creation
At Timber, fragrance is treated as an art form.
Guests are invited into an immersive world where they become the creator — blending layered scent profiles, pouring candles, and crafting personal fragrances that feel like an extension of themselves. Each visit is unhurried. Intentional. Designed to awaken the senses.
This is not production.
This is composition.
Luxury, Defined by Intention
It is felt.
It lives in quality ingredients, thoughtful design, and experiences that invite presence. Timber embraces a philosophy of quiet refinement — where beauty is found in restraint, balance, and authenticity.
From the flicker of candlelight to the mineral-rich indulgence of the Timber Salt Bar, every offering is designed to elevate the everyday into ritual. A soak becomes a ceremony. A candle becomes a mood. A scent becomes a memory.
The Timber Philosophy
In surrounding yourself with beauty that feels personal.
In craftsmanship that honors both nature and experience.
Timber Candle Bar & Boutique exists for those who appreciate the subtle luxury of atmosphere — those who understand that scent can transform a home, a moment, a feeling.
To enter Timber is to step into warmth, creativity, and calm.
To leave is to carry a piece of that experience with you.
A glow.
A fragrance.
A memory waiting to be made.
