Homesick earns mixed-to-positive reviews: the brand delights gift‑givers with evocative, nostalgic scents like New York City, Los Angeles, and Texas, clean minimalist packaging, and reusable glass vessels, but reviews also flag inconsistent fragrance accuracy, hit‑or‑miss throw, and soot or uneven burns. Homesick reviews repeatedly praise long burn times and thoughtful location- and event‑themed options, while criticizing overly strong or artificial notes in some SKUs and, for some users, weak, fading, or headache‑inducing scent performance.
One of my favorite candles, not sure how but the mid-notes containing concrete really are evocative of the city. I'm reminded of being in central park during the spring-time, there's both a grittiness and a freshness that's delightful. Reminds me of home ever since I left.
I love the scents and the look of these candles. They make great gifts with nostalgic scents and places and memories. I also love the soy wax blend they use that’s made in the usa. They are high quality.
The scents really capture memories and I love how nostalgic they feel when burning. Sometimes they burn unevenly and the price is high but the emotional connection keeps me buying them. Not worth a premium for the candle
I usually give Homesick candles as gifts, and there are so many options! For friends that move to or from a new place, I find it can be a beautiful housewarming gift to introduce them to the new place they're going, or give them a piece of home to remember. They're thoughtful, kind, easy gifts to provide!
