The circumstances surrounding Drew's death are not yet known.
The 36-year-old founded his vegan fragrance brand, Owen Drew, in 2016 after taking a gamble and quitting his job in financial services. His business partner Mike Skeggs joined six months later.
The candles - costing up to £750 - are made from some of the world's most expensive oils and perfumes.
Drew - who appeared on Dragons' Den in May 2021 - attracted celebrity fans including socialite Paris Hilton.
His motto was: "Life is not a dress rehearsal."
Just four days ago, Drew posted on Facebook that he was honoured to have been asked as a guest speaker at Rotary on the Wirral on November 11.
He wrote: "I’ll be talking all about how Mike Skeggs and I built Owen Drew from the ground up, sharing tips and secrets for launching a business on a shoestring, discussing past failures and things I wish I had done differently… as well as covering all things Dragons’ Den.
"We’ll also be exploring fragrance and what goes into making a show-stopping perfume."
Drew's mum was flooded with messages of condolence on her Facebook page.
One friend wrote: "To say I am Devastated is an understatement, Drew you are the most beautiful star in the sky tonight.
"RIP beautiful boy ,will never forget you and your beautiful heart and soul."
