Let customers speak for us
from 423 reviewsI live in AZ and one of my favorite times of the year is suumer. With summer comes the monsoon. You have to be here to experience it. The candle is essentially the smell of the monsoon. I bought one as a gift and one for myself. Will be buying others for Christmas.
It creates peaceful desert memories🏜️🎶
Wonderful scent! Carefully packed and shipped quickly. Thanks so much!
Love this candle! I would love to see all these scents created into wax melts to infuse my entire home in these unique and delicious scents!
I love the scent of these room sprays! They last forever and are not overpowering.
smells like spring! love the lemon...so fresh and clean
I really like this smell...soft and warm
I cannot fully express the incredible way in which Jen has helped us to "smell" the candles on line. Her description of each one is beautifully written and makes me feel like I'm actually experiencing the charm of it all
Well this cinnamon churro reminds me of Nicaragua. I lived there for a couple years and they sold them as a sugary treat. Now it has become one of my top favorites.
My sister likes this one as her favorite scent and brought it to me to have a sniff. If course it smelled lovely 😍
This scent is so refreshing! It's still one of my favorites. I have it in my guest quarter bathroom and it smells lovely with just the lid off the tin.
This candle and room spray are our absolute favorite scent ever. We simply can’t get enough of it and keep one in our bedroom all the time. People who visit ask what smells sooo good when it’s burning 🤗
I have not started burning this yet as I have some other wood wick candles to finish. But this smells so good as it is. I cant wait to smell it burning and hear the crackle (hopefully) as it burns.
The shopping experience was very straightforward. The quality of the product is amazing
I love the candle. The presentation, the scent, it is amazing. A friend who came over the day after I got it also loved it and wants one.
