Otherland reviews and discussion
Reviews mention
- Inventive, complex fragrance library
- Elegant, reusable glass jars
- Refined, delightful unboxing experience
- Often even, clean wax burn
- Inconsistent scent throw performance
- Occasionally artificial fragrance notes
- Some overly strong, cloying blends
- Reports of uneven burn tunneling
Otherland earns strong reviews as a gift‑ready candle brand that largely delivers on nuanced, creative scents and gorgeous, keepable jars, though performance varies. Many praise long burn times, smooth melts, and standout fragrances like Rattan, Daybed, Sriracha Rose, Cardamom Milk, Canopy, and Matchpoint, while others report weak or inconsistent throw, occasionally artificial notes, overly strong blends, or uneven burns—and one complaint about smoke damage—making scent selection key.

As someone who creates content focused on wellness, I find Otherland candles to be a perfect addition to any self-care routine. Their candles are beautifully crafted, with a variety of unique, luxurious scents that create a calming atmosphere. I love that the fragrances are rich and long-lasting without being overpowering, making them ideal for relaxation or setting the mood in any room. The candles themselves have a sleek, modern design, and the high-quality wax ensures an even burn. While they are on the pricier side, the premium quality and the indulgent experience they provide make Otherland candles a great choice for anyone looking to elevate their home ambiance.
I have really enjoyed my Otherland candles. Their scents are unique and there's something for everyone. The designs and boxing are really nice too. They look really nice as decor and are great gifts. A bit expensive for the price point, but they last surprisingly long and look good.
Delightful candle scents! I was looking for something beyond the Bath & Body Works sugary sweet scents, and Otherland delivered. The packaging was gorgeous, and I think the candles are fairly priced. Scent throw is fabulous.

Burn was a bit uneven with some tunneling
Such a lovely smelling candy. Also the branding is so cute. Really creative scents.
A friend gifted me one of their candles for my birthday and I've been hooked ever since. From the moment you receive the package, your experience begins. All the candles come with a beautiful box, a cute matchbox with gold foil detailing. Not to mention the delicious scents. I've repurchased my favorite scent Canopy several times. It smells fresh, bright, and the scent wafts through my house to make everything smell inviting. The burn time is 55 hours, so you'll be able to use it for quite a while. These candles are a splurge, but the packaging makes it feel like a small luxury experience. I definitely recommend sending them as gifts.
Great housewarming gifts! I really appreciate that the smell is on the more mellow side. Super cute jar that has a high end look and feel

Make sure to burn correctly when you first light so that the candle melts in the right manner
I'm not generally a candle person but someone gave me an Otherland candle as a gift. The packaging and branding is so nice and I really do enjoy the scent. I'm not sure I'd buy another one myself but think its a thoughtful gift. I'd sooner gift one to someone else than splurge a bit for me! The clean ingredients is big too. I am now grossed out by the idea of toxic cheap candles.
One of my favorite candle brands! The throw is great, I lit a mini candle and my fiancé could smell it from across the house. Also have good sales, which is when I usually stock up. I also love getting the matchbooks in the sets! Perfect for gift giving.
I love otherland! I love the branding and the illustrations/candle jars are so beautiful that I use them for other purposes after burning all the candles.

The candle scents and the reach are hit or miss. Some candles were underwhelming but some other ones that I liked were beyond my expectations. (For ex, I love the sriracha rose scent!) I'd want to see more explorative and unique scents like that of sriracha rose.
Hit or miss scents, but love the collection drops and packaging is awesome
The branding is cute but the actual scents of the candles are super basic and underwhelming.

Their scents smell extremely artificial. Often too overwhelmingly sweet or floral.
Feedback
Make the scents less artificial
I love Otherland candles! They're a great gift and their packaging is incredible – premium and functional. I love the themed matchboxes and the minis are adorable to have on hand as gifts.

I love the look, feel and experience of Otherland candles, but I think they could be more fragrant. They smell great when you sniff them, but when lit I find that they don't have the smell radius of other candles I like.
Really liked a lot of the scents, branding, and packaging, but found the candles scent to not last very long which is super important for me
Otherland candles have the coolest scents and packaging - I reuse the candle jars because they are too pretty to throw away! The sets make for great gifts and the scents aren't overpowering.
I love candles and have one burning most of the time. I have purchased all different brands over the years and am always trying out new ones. Otherland has great sents, strong yet not overpowering. The jars are solid and a keeper to use after the candle is gone. The 3 pack make a nice gift. The packaging is impressive.
Such reasonably priced and amazing smelling candles. I love burning them in my house and gifting them. I also love the packaging and the different types of art on each of the candles.

While their packaging is beautiful, I wish it wasn't so wasteful
One of my fav gifts to give friends/colleagues/bosses/anyone. The packaging is unreal and the smells are so different and delish.
high quality candles with amazing scents, I love that they're always switching It up!
Beautiful products and great scents!
