Candier earns enthusiastic reviews for vivid, gourmand scents and celebratory, gift-ready designs, yet opinions split on performance: many find the fragrance strong with long burn time, while others report weak throw, tunneling wicks, and scent fade. Reviews also flag a serious safety complaint and note the sweet, specific profiles can overwhelm or trigger headaches.

  • The candles are all fun and smell great (I love matcha my freak among some of the seasonal and cake related ones). Sometimes the wicks tend to tunnel with the candles with lots of extra "toppings". Maybe this is better in the wax melts and I will try them out!

  • Snagged the birthday cake scent through a Thingdrop and I LOVE it! Smells exactly like vanilla buttercream. The candle is so beautifully made, too. Would make for an absolutely incredible gift. :)

  • These candles are super gifts for us jaded candle lovers. A punch of color & adorable labels. Some of the scents are a bit too on the sweet side but I’ll continue the hunt for new ones.

  • What a fun candle! This would make for a great birthday gift. While I’m not typically drawn to sweet scents like this, I think most candle fans will really enjoy it. Not sure if I would personally buy this for myself at a $30 price point, but would be interested in some other Candier scents to see if there’s something more up my alley. I was kind of worried that this would be very sweetly scented while burning, but it’s more subtle—up to you if that’s a good thing or a bad thing. Update 1/8/24: I'm about a week and a half into burning this candle and it has stopped burning halfway through as if the wick has gone out. I haven't had this happen with any other candles before, so that's a bit of a bummer. Have updated my rating as well. (Previous rating was a 4.)

  • I'm not usually a vanilla candle girly, especially things that are more on the gourmand side but I've seen this candle everywhere and really needed to check it out. I was very surprised! It actually smells amazing and looks sooo cute with all the sprinkles. Im not sure if it's worth the price tag but I'd recommend trying them when on sale

  • ⚠️ Fire Hazard – Do Not Buy! I bought a Candier candle expecting a quality product, but instead, it almost set my apartment on fire! I used it properly, yet it became dangerously unstable. This is a serious safety issue, and I wouldn’t recommend these candles to anyone. I reached out to the company and am waiting for a response, but I feel everyone should know about this potential danger. If you care about safety, avoid these candles!

  • Quick delivery with secure packaging. The candle is like a birthday cake threw up in it! This is a great birthday gift for somebody you may not know that well yet. It's a fun candle that they will enjoy using. Stock up on all the candles on their websites for that last minute gift idea - they have them for all sorts of occasions and have unique looks.

  • for as cute as these candles are visually, the scent does not last for the price. i also feel like the aesthetics of the brand appeal to people who habitually shop at papersource-- love papersource, but many of that store's products have a very specific millennial pink color palette and brand of humor that this brand epitomizes and i'm personally not the biggest fan

  • I love how fun their candles are and they smell great! Great for gifts too.

  • Smells amazing and it's so cute. The scent doesn't carry, and I wish it did. I will be purchasing more of these

  • The smell is AMAZING! it reminds me of the Glasshouse Vanilla Caramel scent in the best way possible. It's also super vibrant and is FILLED with sprinkles. One thing to note was it did not come in a decorative box which was a little disapointing as I plan on giving it as a gift. I bought it from the Thingtesting Drop so maybe it was packaged differently for that. Not a dealbreaker by any means though.

  • Bout to cry about this cause I love their candles, I had the pink one from a friend and it smelled so good I hated to use it cause it was gon by the next day. Beautiful smells and it’s organic made and sources

  • Beautiful and smells delicious too! Our teenager, in particular, loves it.

  • I don't think I'd pay the full price for any candle that is over $30, but with the thing drop this was a steal. smells so good, perfect for gourmand lovers. even though its written on the label with prettiest girl etc, my boyfriend loved this as an early bday gift, it got a cackle and he loved the smell :) perfect for in the house especially during the holidays, reminds me of cookies and cake. shipped super fast as well!

  • This is 100% overpriced but it makes for such a cute gift and my best friend definitely appreciated it.

  • Ok, if these candles weren't so expensive, I think I'd buy them for every special occasion. They are so freaking cute - especially for birthday's or Christmas! They're the perfect gift if you're willing to splurge and go the extra mile to make your loved one feel extra special. Wish I had more in my budget to purchase!

  • Such a fun unpackaging experience! I didn't know that the candle had actual sprinkles so that was really the icing on the cake for me! The candle label is really fun and would most definitely appeal to the younger generation of folks. I have been admiring the design that I haven't actually lit it yet. The unlit scent is lovely and will probably be the same once it is lit. Great for special occasions and those that already seem to have everything!

  • I snagged this candle during a thing drop and have been loving it. It has a very strong scent even when it is not burning. Aesthetically it is a gorgeous candle I will definitely be repurchasing.
