This candle smells amazing! Also the small touches with the handwritten thank you…AMAZING. Going to order more now!
Loved the smell. Someone from Tucson smelled it and said it reminded them of Tucson rain so it was nailed!
Arizona Orange Blossoms is one of my new favorite scents. It smells so fresh and a bit sweet, just like orange blossoms.
This company is fantastic. They actually care about what their customers think...
Smell is just like an Arizona Monsoon.
Came in excellent packaging and they smell amazing-will be ordering more!
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.
