Best of Thingtesting5.0

ELSEWHERE reviews assert that the brand works: customers repeatedly praise evocative, long-lasting scents and meticulous branding while noting occasional label imperfections and a desire for larger or sample sizes. The reviews highlight potent, nostalgic fragrances (Film Grain, Astral, Chainlink, Country Club) and beautiful packaging, but cite small presentation flaws and limited product-size/options as drawbacks—useful for buyers who prioritize scent quality and aesthetic over variety in formats.

    A gorgeous brand and the fragrance itself was delightful. I also appreciated the personal touched (see photo) in the packaging.

    Just got my first few candles to see which scent I liked best and I'm so happy with all of them. Chainlink and Country Club are the winners for me. The ingredients and fragrances are super unique and not your everyday approach to candles. Country club reminds me of being young at the cabin during the summer stealing looks at the other boys at the boat house. Chainlink brings me back to the late nights that turned into early mornings. I know its meant to be a NYC kinda feel, but I get sent straight back to Paris with this scent. Reminds me of waiting for the metro to open back up while I still taste the lingering whiskey and smoke on my breathe. Can't wait to burn through them so I can re-order.

    1 out of my 4 candles had a slightly crooked label. Not the end of the world for personal use, but I would want it to look perfect if I was giving it as a client gift. Otherwise everything is spot on and branded so nicely. I also have some others that I haven't smelled yet. A smaller sized sample pack would be AWESOME. Could be great to use as smaller candles in the office or bathroom while giving customers a sneak peek at the other scents available.

    I cannot say nicer things about this brand. The scent I have been most in love with is Astral and I use her almost daily. I think the experience behind the candles really makes them one of my new favorites. Specifically Astral which smells like nothing else I have ever purchased but has a nostalgic feeling of familiarity. Everyone who comes to visit is always complimenting our homes scent and I cannot wait to see where the brand takes it next!

    I have so little to address when it comes to making improvements. The candles burn easily and fully which is always important for me and any other candle lover. I would perhaps love to see for the holiday season a wood-wick candle that has great story like what is currently offered. The sound wood-wick candles make while they crackle could really enhance the candles already great smell with an ambiance to match.

    I’m gonna be 100% honest, I’ve always been iffy about brands on insta, especially with things like candles, incense, any type of cosmetic really. This is one of the few times where I was extremely satisfied with what I received. As someone who has run businesses in the past, the attention to detail with the packaging on both the box and the actual candle was so appreciated and on top of that the description actually matched with the scent. With candles it’s hard because you don’t actually know what you’ll get till you get it but I was very impressed, I got film grain and I genuinely enjoy it, I bought a fancy lighter for it lmao.

    Possibly on the fore front of the website have a section where it’s just all the candles listed and then the rest of the content below it. Other than that idk I had a great experience with this brand.
