Spooky and Strong

I really loved this candle. It smells strongly of leather, which is one of my favorite scents in a candle. The throw is amazing, and it gives off a spooky fall vibe.

Very Fall

The scent is very subtle, but it definitely lingers in a wondaful way. I had it lit while I was up late reading and the next morning I could still smell it when I walked into the room. Just a calming cozy mix of apples and spice.

Very nice scent, but…

This candle smells really good, but it’s not what I was expecting. When I ordered it, I was hoping for a gourmand sweet caramel apple scent, but it’s more of a vague apple-y, outdoors-y smell with a touch of sweetness and spice. Very nice, but not quite what I was hoping for.

The throw is also a bit weak, so I would not call it a moderate throw, it’s very mild and soft.

But I still give it 5 stars for the quality of the product itself that is always there, the packaging was very secure for shipping, and it arrived quickly even tho I’m in Canada!

Fun Fall Fragrance

Crisp and sweet this candle is evocative of brisk autumn weather and fall carnivals. All the notes blend well and give off a good throw while burning. Very nice!

Woodsy fall scent

Reminiscent of walking through an aspen grove in the fall.

I’ve been waiting for this.

Perfect for cool fall nights reading mysteries and other classics. Transports you to 220b baker st.

Spells like a college library

Like all their candles, it has a strong scent and takes a bit to get the scent to fill up a room, but when it does, it is very telaxing.

Not strong enough

I had high hopes for this one. I like the smell of the candle a lot - but it’s just not very strong when lit. When I walk in the room, I don’t smell it at all

Winter vibes

At first sniff, this reminded me of winter/Christmas. It's more well-rounded when burning.

New favorite

I don't think I get the daisy part, but the rest of it evokes local book shop in the autumn vibes. If you're a book sniffer, this one's for you.

nice balance

This scent had a good balance between the notes. Not too sweet like I thought it might be. Could become a favorite

Love the variety of fragrances and the fun names!

Great Scent

This is a terrific scent. It's calming with a very clean aroma. Bought one for my daughter-in-law and she absolutely loves it.

Too mild

While this scent combination sounded fascinating to me I unfortunately don't smell any of those scents. It's pleasant though too mild, and maybe there's a whiff of something that resembles peach but that's about it.

Smells like plastic

Unfortunately this candle, to me, smells like waxy plastic. I need to stop buying moderate scented candles as even when it's burning next to me I smell nothing. This was a sad waste of money.

Thanks for your feedback. We're sorry the scent wasn’t what you expected. Scent preferences can vary, and we understand online ordering can be tricky! We’d be happy to help with other recommendations or an exchange. Feel free to reach out at help@frostbeardstudio.com

A beloved seasonal scent

One of the candles I really wish wasn't seasonal! This candle smells so good but isn't overpowering. It's a light, earthy scent that reminds me of a new school year. I really don't like overpowering scents or overly-floral candles, and this particular one is just perfect. I had to order two to make sure I had one on standby when the scent goes back into the vault!

Perfect Mood Boost

This is a great scent to perk you right up on a dreary, rainy fall day.

Cheerful Fall Scent

I definitely get the daisy notes and love the color. Well balanced with the other scents.

So wonderful

I have an extensive collection of frostbeard candles and this one *might* be my favorite. I struggle with candles that are to sweet but want to love them, so this is the perfect combo of earthy + sweet. I got it before reading the book it hints at, and now that I’ve read it, it’s the most perfect match. Makes me happy 🩵

Always be my favey

I’ve been sending my coin to the great wax artisans of the twin cities for nye on a decade, young traveler. Take heed of this delectable treat. Smells like you just dropped a bag of coffee beans and dark chocolate directly into the flame. Pull up a tree stump and rest a spell.

A gentler bean

Listen. If you’re a light roast person, this is gonna be higher on your list than Reading in the Café. We’re talking milk chocolate vs. dark chocolate. Page Turner has permanent menu potential ✌🏻

Fall Seasonal Pack
Elizabeth S. (Cleveland, OH)
All hits, no misses

Divination Room and Ghoul’s Gate were the only 2 scents in this pack I’d never tried before. Great fall selections!

🕯️Happy to say that Divination Room is a new favorite (if you liked Faerie Door, try this one).

🍄‍🟫Ghoul’s Gate is also one of those hard to explain scents, but it’s also a little bit herbal and (pleasantly) damp smelling.

🎃🔥Pumpkin and campfire you can imagine just fine. Get it!

Mysteriously Gooood

Surprise! I got one of my favorite limited seasonal scents: Le Cirque Des Rêves ✨ It doesn’t smell quite like I remember, so maybe a bit of a mixed batch. She’s a special one. I’m still tickled that it’s a candle I’ve purchased before at such a reasonable price.

Love

Absolutely love the smell. Makes my place smell homey. Love the tin. Looking forward to using it after it’s finished.

Incense

I probably misread but I wanted more of the Earl grey smell not an overload of incense. Burns great. Love the tin it came in.
