Flamingo Estate earns strong reviews for sensorial, design-led products that often perform—standouts include the Roma Heirloom Tomato and Olive Tree candles, Heritage EVOO, Soap Bricks, and Rosemary & Clary Sage Body Wash—yet the brand draws criticism for inconsistent candle and hand soap scents, weak scent longevity for some washes, and occasional packaging hardware issues. Reviews portray beautiful, gift-worthy presentation and long-burning candles, but note polarizing herb/tomato fragrances and textures that can feel less rich than competitors.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
One of the most beautiful brands out there, with an amazing background and story. My favorite items are the olive oils. One of the best olive oils I have tasted. Well worth the money. I tried the hand soaps and didn't love the scents. However this is my personal preference.
The hand poured scented candles were gifted to my mom for the holidays. This candle is fabulous! I can smell it when I walk into a room even without it being lit.
Love this brand. The quality of the products is amazing. The brand story and brand experience are amazing. The design and packaging are amazing. The price.... a little high but it makes sense considering the lengths they go to for quality of ingredients. I'll happily spend it.

Love love love all things Flamingo Estate. Their products come from a pleasure garden and a network of farmers. The quality is obvious and every product is imbued with care. Favorites are the olive oil, wildflower honey, and the Roma heirloom tomato candle.
Even unlit the candle will make a room smell fresh and earthy. One of my favorites

I'm so sorry but I had very high expectations for their candles and ended up hating the smell! And I tried several different scents! My husband didn't like how they smelled either. Maybe they burn better than they smell straight out of the box, but I definitely wouldn't recommend buying these before you smell them in-store.
A splurge? 100%. But the pricing is on par with the quality of the products. I gifted the spicy strawberry snack (so delicious) and the tomato spray to friends for Christmas and they were obsessed. Anything from the brand is unforgettable. That said, I’ve not bought anything for myself because I can’t justify the cost outside of a gifting occasion, but maybe one day. :)

This is LUXURY!! I recently purchased a gift set of soap and olive oil/vinegar for my husband's birthday. These products are definitely pricy compared to other brands but they look so beautiful in my kitchen or bathroom. The soap smells amazing, fills up the bathroom, and lasts a long time. The olive oil tastes great when mixed with the peach vinegar. I also purchased the tomato candle and burn it all summer. I will definitely purchase all these products again.

Ok yes they’re wildly expensive, but you also who you’re getting a luxury product here. The branding and packaging is of course out of control (I expect no less from one of the world’s leading creative directors), and the scents are heavenly. If you need a gift that’ll impress this is the spot.
This rating is exclusively based on my recent purchase of the tomato vine scented hand wash. I haven’t tried any other products, but as a designer, I’m a big fan of the branding! The soap unfortunately was disappointing. The price point is pretty high and left much to be desired: a) the scent is not so strong/lasting, b) the texture is not rich like other competing soap brands, and c) the bottle is well designed but they skimped on the nozzle witch looks and feels cheap and the product leaked out before I even opened the box.
Unique products - you can tell lots of thought and care was put into every detail. This certainly comes across in quality, packaging, scent, etc. (and price).
the actual best ever, just smell it and you'll die!

Flamingo Estate really sells a way of life, the LA-version of La Dolce Vita. Their products are sensorial, and quite high quality. I particularly like their Heirloom Roma Tomato Candle, Rosemary & Clary Sage Body Wash, and a chili that doesn't seem to be made anymore. However, after using quite a few of their products for a while now, I have to admit, you're definitely buying it for the visuals and storytelling. The actual products provide little in the way of reasons to keep purchasing, and most items were a fun-to-try, but not a repurchase. With that said, the entire delivery experience is quite beautiful, from the shipping box to the presentation once you open a shipment. They are bar none, my pick for gifting to people.
