Beautiful candles that smell devine!

I loved the Lodestone candles I discovered in a Savannah shop last year so much that I started shopping at their online store when I got back home in Seattle. These are high quality candles and the scents are amazing.

Worst smelling candle ever

Smells like bad cough medicine and herbal remedies. Literally burned for 1 minute and had to throw it out.

Wow, Michele! Thanks for taking the time to review Whisky. This candle is definitely not for everyone. It is intense for sure. But, for those of our loyal customers who do love it, they come back time and again.

We're so sorry to hear it's not for you. Did you know we have a Fret-Free Guarantee? We'd like the opportunity to make you happy with your purchase. Is there another you'd like to choose in exchange?

Love. Love. Love.

I discovered this beautiful candle at The Golden Fig in St. Paul MN a couple years ago. I knew immediately that I had to purchase it! I have since gifted this candle to many people, as well as kept up my own supply!! ❤️

Amazing Scent

This is an amazing and uplifting scent for the Christmas season and winter months. The combination of citrus, pine and woods is refreshing and pleasant, and I’ve received several compliments from house guests regarding this scent.

Timeless

My husband loves using these to light our candles. It's almost a ritual because it gives him a little something special at the end of his long day at work. He enjoys the sound of the match, then seeing the wick ignite before he settles down for the evening. Some of the surreal things in life seem brighter and less dense when he does this. Very happy!

Turkish Fig
M. K. (Leland, North Carolina)
No

No scent. This was a very expensive candle and emits basically no scent. Would not recommend.

Thanks for taking the time to review Turkish Fig. We are so sorry you had this experience. Turkish Fig is one of our top sellers. I'm surprised about your report.

Soy is finicky. Your experience might be due to a manufacturing gaffe. Did you know we have a Fret-Free Guarantee? We'd like the opportunity to make you happy with your purchase. Please contact us at hey@lodestonecandles.com to get started.

With sincere thanks,

Love this candle!

The most delicious smell - like the best pomander filling your room with holiday cheer. Never get enough of this one!

Absolutely amazing

I bought this candle immediately after smelling it at a local boutique in Brooklyn. Beautiful cold throw, and such a lovely hot throw that is subtle but still fills the room. The warm exotic scent immediately transforms my space into a luxury experience. Perfect for fall and would make a lovely gift. <3

Fall favorites deal was the perfect time to stock up on Tabacco/Bayleaf & Whiskey… The scents are the smell of fall in my house!

Favorite candle ever

Truly one of the best candle scents of all time! The scent is warm, complex, and cozy. Burns evenly and lasts a very long time.

Sakura: subtle, satisfying scent

I appreciate how rich and unique the scent of this candle is without being too overpowering. It’s a beautiful addition to my morning time of quiet reflection before the sun comes up!

This is a magnificent candle, in every respect. On a completely different level!

Subtle scent, but with such complexity! I’ll be ordering more!

Incredible quality, from the packaging, thick glass, printed labels, wax, wick, and fragrance. Not to mention the matches, customer service and speedy shipping! Top shelf brand! This scent in particular is so evocative!

Another Excellent scent

Yet another excellent scent from Lodestone.

Bonfire
Marion M. (Potomac, Maryland)
Smells wonderful - very subtle scent

I have #13 and now Bonfire. I don't burn either one, but set them in rooms where they emanate a subtle scent. First saw them on Kauai and was excited to find out they are made in MD where we live. Thank you!

Lavender & Sandalwood

The scent is amazing!

I’ve been into candles for a long time and only recently discovered the Lavender and Sandalwood candle! I am obsessed and have the candles all through the house!

Holiday votives

I purchased several of the holiday votives to give as gifts this year. While most of them are still waiting to be given I have enjoyed the scent of these beautifully crafted candles boxed in my work room.

Great Scent/Aroma Strength

The scent is fantastic and the strength of the candle is also great. Some of their other candles only faintly smell when burned. This is my new favorite!
