Headmaster's Office
Jill S. (Saco, ME)
Must be Dumbledore’s Office

This is my least favorite Frostbeard scent. It’s not unpleasant, but I don’t smell anything like a fireplace, cedarwood, or lemon. It’s sweet-smelling, and reminds me of butterscotch.

Bookstore

Tons of tobacco & a little leather

Bookstore is a pleasant scent. I’ve ordered it twice. The most forward scent is tobacco, imo. There is a hint of leather, kind of like a book, but I don’t catch any ‘mahogany’.

Transport to Pemberley

My favorite Frostbeard scent so far. Not to macho; not too frilly; just right.

A rare miss

I appreciate that you all are bold sometimes in your experiments.

This one did not land with me. But please don't stop pushing the envelope. It's the reason I keep coming back.

Solid scent, but

Again, I think this could be a really great candle if the scent scent were cast a bit more effectively.

I like the smell of the physical candle but when it's lit it doesn't fill the room at all.

Horseman's Hollow
Jeff (Washington, DC)
Would be amazing

I really like this scent a lot. I just seems like the only effective way to experience it is by directly sniffing the candle itself. When lit, it doesn't really fill the room.

Would be 5 stars if it were stronger.

Summer Seasonal Pack
Jacqueline I. (Jacksonville, FL)
I love seasonal scents

FROSTBEARD soy candles are a book lover's dream. I love the seasonal treats!

It was love at first sniff with this one - I'm completely obsessed, and I want my house to smell like this all the time now. It's so nostalgic and cozy, they really captured the bookstore scent.

Lovely, complex scents. Some that weren't my favourite at first improved dramatically once burned, and now I want them all full-size. I highly recommend this store!

Rainy Day Reads
Vicki V. (Clifton Park, NY)
Love this scent!

This is the first candle I've gotten a chance to use while reading and it's just as lovely as I was hoping it would be!

I love my new nightly ritual of burning this candle while reading! I can't wait to try the others in my order. I think this scent in particular will be my new go to!

Dragon's Lair

highly scented

I love the scent of amber, and this candle is wonderful. I'm not entirely sure what Mountain Mist smells like, but I definitely detect the smoke and amber notes. I really enjoy this fragrance..

So good

I have this just sitting open at my desk, not even burning and it smells amazing!!! Love it!

Does not live up to the hype

For the money I spent I thought the scents would be more complex, rich. Very disappointing

So sorry the fragrance wasn't what you expected! Since smell is subjective and we realize it's hard ordering candles online we do offer returns and exchanges.

Stunning scent, warm sweet and cosy

My friend adores this scent. I always request it in bring it back, as I get this for her every year on her birthday. It's become a tradition now!

Old Books
Elizabeth C.
not my cup of tea

I'm not a fan of this candle. I love the scent of old paper, but it isn't present in this product. However, the quality is excellent. I wouldn't buy this again.

Kinda weird. There's a scent that I can't place that makes it not quite good.

Oh my goodness this is amazing!

Warm and sweet, this smell is amazing. The only "problem" is if i am hungry when i smell it, my stomach immediately starts growling. Really reminds me of the scent of an icecream sundae!

Sam's Garden
Stephani M. (Mount Laurel, NJ)
Love this!

We have been starting a garden in our back yard and this smells exactly like our tomato plants! Walking into a room and smelling this candle brings the outdoors and our backyard into our home. It isn't overly strong just a nice, fresh, clean scent. Really glad I decided to try it!

A perfect gift!

I got this gift for my mother, who loves candles. The timing of the once a month delivery is just right; she always eagerly anticipates and is ready for the next one. Great variety of scents and colors. I just extended her 6 month gift for another year!

Bookstore
Diane V. (The Villages, FL)
Bookstore candle

I bought three 8oz candles and one small tin. I love all the fragrance however I wish they were a little stronger smelling. I burn the candies for at least 4 hours at a time but they do not melt all the way to the edge so I'm getting a slight tunneling. I was always told a candle needs to burn an hour for each inch, so a candle that is 4" across should be allowed to burn at least 4 hours. These jars are only 21/2" so in 4 hours they should melt to the edge of the jar. It will be interesting to see how many hours of burn time I get from each jar and then I will decide if the cost is worth the value. I do love the fragrance of Bookstore, Sherlock's Study, Wizard Buttery Drink and Darcy's Parlour.

Won’t buy again

This candle had no fragrance at all. I won’t be making another purchase with my hard earned dollars

The 2oz tin is meant to be more of a sampler, and won’t have the same scent throw as a larger candle size. Sorry if that wasn’t clear from the description. We use the recommended amount of fragrance oil in our candles, and due to the nature of soy wax they may have a milder scent compared to other wax types.

Disappointed

This candle had literally zero scent. Feel like I was ripped off

Cuppa Tea in the Oxford Library

I understand why the Oxford Library candle is a favorite of so many folks! The blend of sandlewood, oak, and leather is intoxicating!

Sassenach
Donna B. (Norcross, GA)
Botanical Bounty

I adore the Sassenach scent of basil, lavender, and thyme. Reminds me of a kitchen garden as I walk by and gently stroke the aromatic herbs. Heavenly.

The Old Forest
Donna B. (Norcross, GA)
Fancy a Footpath in the Forest?

The Old Forest is a wonderful candle reminiscent of a leisurely walk through the woods or a hike in the mountains on an autumn day. The aromas of rosewood, fig, dirt, and spices provide a pleasant ambiance of fresh trees after the rain.
