from 48 reviewsLiterally my favorite scent that not only has amazing fall vibes but also reminds me of everything I love about the PNW. Highly recommended.
I have to tell you the gardenia is now a big part of my morning routine. I light it in the bathroom before I shower and as I'm getting ready it makes me feel relaxed and happy!
Love it and love that I didn't even have to wait! Faster than Amazon!
My candles arrived last night and the Salish Sea candle smells absolutely amazing! Such an awesome freebie!
Thank you!!!
They were a hit! The 4 I gave away were much appreciated. Thanks again for putting that together for me!!
This is the best scent ever!!! I was only sad that I gave it as a gift!! 😂 now I will gift myself one!!
This candle smells amazing! I have not had an opportunity to light it as it is a gift but I can tell you my parents have purchased and used many of the others and they have a wonderful aroma that fills the house, I expect this one to do the same!
I am already burning someone else’s Christmas gift, the Brandied Pear candle. I love all of them. Excellent communication, quick shipping. I appreciate the care that went into packing them up as well.
Shopping on your website was a wonderful experience beginning to end. Enjoyed looking at and reading about all of your products and selecting some that I thought would make Nancy happy. The scents you have combined are inspiring, we haven't tried any yet because they are a Christmas present, but Nancy saw the delivery and is already excited. I can't thank you enough. And, the delivery was amazing. Two days from west coast to east coast is remarkable. Wow !!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You.
It is hard to describe the scent but I was so happy it doesn't have a fake or chemical scent like most caramel scents. Also doesn't smell like burning sugar like so many. The cold throw is nice but the scent throw when hot is just DIVINE. Has a nice slow burn, I burn for 2-3 hours at a time normally. Still continues to have a strong scent even after multiple burns.
Make sure to follow the directions, letting it burn the first time until the whole 1/4" of the top is liquid. I normally do but had something come up the first time with this one and had to snuff it out early causing it to tunnel, luckily it was nearly the full diameter. I just ordered another smaller one with a bunch of the other fall scents.
Got a new shipment of mini candles in from Elm Designs!
I use them as part of my welcome basket at the Whidbey Island Airbnb/VRBO. I put in a selection of Island produced goodies for our guests.
Elm Designs makes clean burning soy candles locally on South Whidbey. And also happens to be my sweet friend of 30 years, Erin's, business.
She makes all the scent combinations and candles herself. She also collaborates with a local potter to make some of her candles so that when the candle is gone, you can use the vessel as a planter. So cute 😍!
You can find her candles at local gift shops on the island and online. I'm particularly in love with her autumn scents right now. 🍁
This candle is like a symphony of spice and musk that radiates an atmosphere of relaxation. Whether you’ve got bubbles in your glass or in your tub, dim the lights, and let the stresses of the day just melt away with this enchanting cocktail of rum, amaretto, and exotic spices.
This is one invigorating scent. I was anticipating something more earthy and musky from the notes of whiskey, smoke, and oak, but that is not what this candle offers up. Somehow the cardamom, anise, and vanilla blend together with the whiskey to really brighten up the aroma resulting in an almost mystical floral scent. I definitely recommend it if you want to summon the essence of a witch’s cauldron brewing up some magical potions. Don’t worry. She’s definitely a good witch.
I usually avoid fruity smells because they tend to be too perfume-y for my tastes. I’m definitely not a fan of something that leaves my home smelling like the inside of grandma’s handbag when I was hoping for a crisp, fresh orchard kinda vibe. This candle proved to be an amazing exception to my dismal experiences with fruit scented candles. The richness of the brandy really blends nicely with the brightness of the pear.
I live for the fall and Halloween is hands-down my favorite holiday, so when I heard this new scent was available I ordered it as fast as I could. After receiving the candle, I already put more on my list because this is one candle I plan to enjoy year round! If you’re a fan of pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice, or pumpkin anything, you’ll love this candle!
