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.

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
covergirlbooks (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.

Excellent Scent!

This is my 9th candle from Frostbeard (I think) and I like the scent very much. I can pick up on all three elements -- the coffee, the ginger, and the cinnamon. The effect is very pleasant, not at all overpowering. Recommended!!!

This new candle is one of my favorites! It sits on my shelf with The Shire, Halfling Hills, and Sam's Garden (see the theme?) :)
It's earthy scent is just what I look for in my candles

My favorite!

I like more masculine scents. This is my favorite Frostbeard candle to date. I highly recommend!

Last candle was shattered

Usually this candle of the month club is amazing. But my September candle arrived shattered. It smelled so good but I was not able to use it. The only other time there was an issue was maybe June or July’s candle- it was so hot that there was oil all over the candle when I unboxed it. I don’t know if there’s a solution for that. Overall it’s been a good experience but I’m upset that I contacted the company about the broken candle and hoped for a replacement and I haven’t heard anything.

Cozy, dark academia perfection

I got a mini of this scent from a friend and bought the bigger version asap because it’s so nice. Cozy and smoky and nature-y in the best way. Also Mr. Darcy!!!!!

Very pleased and happy customer!

Loved the ones I purchased so much that I just ordered a BUNCH more to have through (Oct....Nov.)....my favorite season will now be even more special with these Autumn scents to come home to.

Sophisticated Outdoors Scent

Love the slightly masculine suede note and fresh woodsy aroma. Perfect scent transition into the cooler months!

Elevated and Earthy

Unique scent that is well balanced and definitely evokes an ancient forest. Would certainly buy this again.

Love the concept

This is another candle that smells great when you open the jar and it does have a bit of scent when you light it but I like the candles when you can smell them easily and this one doesn't do that. It's good but needs more.

Glad you love the scent, and thanks for your input regarding strength! We're always aiming to improve our products :)

Coffee House Vibes

This reminds me a lot of the Legendary Coffee House scent that came out not long ago and I honestly prefer that one a smidgen over this but still a warm and cozy scent that gives off Coffee House vibes.

Woodsy

Makes me think of the woods and great outdoors. Throw isn't as strong as I expected on this but it has a clean pleasant scent to it.
