The scent is great, just as described clean & earthy. It’s fragrant without being overpowering. Also love that every candle has a special story. Will definitely be buying more!
BUY THESE CANDLES!!!! I cannot express how beautiful my experience with this company and its lovely owners has been. I first discovered Candles by John at Downtown First Thursdays, where I purchased their seasonal Christmas candle, Claus, from their charming stall. I thought I was just getting a nice candle… but wow, was I wrong.
This was, hands down, the best candle I have ever owned. I burned it every single day, and it lasted for weeks! AND it made my entire apartment smell like beautiful pine—my favorite scent of all time. I used every last drop of that candle, and when I finally ran out, I rushed to their website to buy another. But, as with many Christmas-themed products, it was no longer available in late January (duh).
Desperate to get my hands on it again, I took a shot in the dark and DM’d the company on Instagram—not really expecting anything to come of it. But to my surprise, they responded! Brennan got back to me almost immediately and was so incredibly kind. I told him how much I adored the candle, and he offered to make me a custom order! I was floored—I had never experienced such warm, receptive, and flexible customer service before. He even offered to deliver it personally!
I ordered as many candles as I could and eagerly waited. About 1–2 weeks later, they texted me personally to coordinate a delivery time that fit my schedule. When they arrived, they hand-delivered the package—and were absolutely lovely.
And then… to top it all off, when I opened the parcel, I found not only my custom candle but also free candles, including Curt, along with a beautiful handwritten note. I almost cried—it was such a touching and thoughtful experience. And on top of all that, I had just secured the best, high-quality candles of all time.
Now, I have always been blindly loyal to pine-scented candles (and don’t get me wrong, Claus will forever be a favorite), but I am so grateful they sent me a Curt candle because—WOW. Just wow. BUY THIS CANDLE. It smells absolutely divine! It’s the perfect balance of woody and earthy scents, with just a touch of sweetness and floral notes.
They have officially opened my eyes to the world of candles beyond pine. PLEASE don’t walk—RUN—to get one of these candles! Not only are they worth every penny (unlike those dinky, cancer-causing candles from Target that barely make a room smell good), but the owners, Brennan and Monique, are some of the kindest, most hardworking, and deserving small business owners I’ve ever met.
Go get a candle. Trust this stranger on the internet.
