4.7
Element Brooklyn draws strong reviews for effective, subtly sophisticated scents and thoughtful refill formats, indicating the brand is good at delivering quality hand care and home fragrance with eco-minded packaging; however, feedback flags candle burn issues (soot, high flame, off-center wicks) and occasional dryness in certain soaps. Reviews also note standout products—Pumice Stone Soap, Mandarin and Hinoki/Aesop-inspired washes, and Jardin Azteca diffusers—while warning that some fragrances run weak and the thick pumice formula can jam dispensers.

Love the smell and consistency of this soap! I think the price is reasonable compared to alternatives. The only downside with the experience was shipping - they offer same day shipping in NYC and my order qualified, but it took almost 5 days to receive.

Big fan of the Element Brooklyn soap refills. I order them regularly for our household and they consistently deliver on price-to-value also when testing new scents. The quality feels considered, the refill model means less waste and clutter, so would recommend to anyone already using a refillable soap dispenser.

This does not even compare to any Trudon product. When not lit, it vaguely resembles the Abd El Kader candle but it burns very dirty - with a huge flame, no matter how often you trim the wick, giving off lots of soot and smoke. It gives off so much smoke when I light that I open the windows as I am worried it will set my smoke alarm off. I have high ceilings but would definitely not recommend lighting it in a cozy, low ceiling place as you would get black soot marks on the ceiling. I am also concerned about the potential fire risk given how they burn. I would ONLY recommend using this with a candle warmer and not lighting it given the high flame and smoke. Yes, their refills are way lower price point ($20) and they have found a way to make refills that fit in the original container, (I wish Trudon had refills for their glass candles and not just for their alabaster ones) and you can pretend to splurge on quality things while buying cheaper products - which effectively is posturing, but for whom? - but like all dupes or fakes or imitations, the quality is much lower and you get what you pay for. If you don’t want to spend $135 on a Trudon you would be better off buying a candle from the plethora sold at Marshalls or TJ Maxx or Home Goods or the farmer’s market. They burn cleaner. Have not tried the soaps.

Element has lovely scents; that match closely, if not exactly as the inspired fragrances. Bought the candle, body soap refills and the hand soaps. The pumice soap feels really nice & doesn't dry out your hands. Highly recommend!
