Let customers speak for us
Best candle I’ve purchased in ages. So many candles have a scent and then when burned the scent doesn’t fill the room. THIS CANDLE DOES! I need one that is giant to make my main floor smells like home.
I like it, i like the smell of the cinnamon.
It smells more like leather than an Arizona monsoon. Still smells really good Just hoping it was more like a monsoon smell.
Being a newcomer to AZ, I was enthralled with the smell after a monsoon, and this candle is as close to the real thing! I've purchased a few candles in this scent to send to family members back in my home state (and in my own home). Also, the owner, Jen has great customer service, quick shipping, and I'm happy to support this small biz.
I just moved away from the desert 2 years ago and have been missing the smell of the desert. This candle fully brings me back to the smell of first rain during the monsoon season.
Smells of my childhood!!! Fresh as a monsoon in Tucson.
I keep this candle in my laundry and it makes doing laundry more fun! The wooden wick makes it extra bright and cozy on a rainy day.
Kindred Spirits was the perfect birthday gift to myself! Have to refrain from burning it too often so I can make it last as long as possible!
I have this candle with the lid off upstairs in a room and when I walk upstairs I am greeted by this lovely scent! I love how it scents a large area even without burning it. And it’s not that it’s overpowering, just a friendly greeting.
Easy and the website is user friendly
The smell of this candle is my favorite so far!
Great candles, excellent customer service, professional packaging. I will be a repeat customer no doubt.
