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.

Absolutely stunning packaging! The unboxing experience is top notch. Fantastic for gifts.
Feedback
The price is high for the candle alone. IMO you're paying up for the packaging and unboxing experience. Great for gifts, but not something I'd buy for myself.
These candles smell amazing and I love the look.
Feedback
I wish they were slightly less expensive.
One of my favorite candle brands! I find myself repurchasing scents frequently due to how much I love them (Rattan is my favorite). I'm someone who looks for more of a nuanced fragrance in my candle and theirs always smell so unique! Plus, the throw on these are amazing. Even the tea light sized ones reach a larger area than you'd imagine. These burn pretty evenly as well and I don't find myself having to fix tunneling as often which is great. I have gifted these to friends and family and they always love them as well. Highly recommend these candles!
these candles have absolutely the best throw of any luxury candles I have ever bought.

I wish their price was a bit more approachable
I love getting their collection sets! I just got the 90s collection and always enjoy all their scents. Their packaging is super cute and its a great gift!
I love the scent of every candle, but the radius these candles can reach astonishes me.
I was gifted a Matchpoint candle, which refreshingly smells of tennis balls, cut grass, and cucumber!
Feedback
The packaging is very cute and unique.
Friends with OtherlandGot these as a gift and the unboxing experience was fantastic. Definitely keeping this brand in my back pocket for gifts of my own! The grippy lids are a nice touch and there has been no tunneling to speak of. The quality is great and the scents are subtle and not too overdone. Will definitely be purchasing on my own.
Love the branding and their ideas behind the scents, but they're a little basic and don't have a huge smell radius compared to other candles. They'd be a cute gift to give (the packaging and look of them alone are just fun to receive). I forgot what the scent is but I love the one that has tennis ball as part of it lol.

Start doing more niche scents instead of playing it safe!
The packaging. It's simply gorgeous. Buy these candles just for that alone. Oh yeah, they also smell amazing and make amazing gifts! Thoughtful design down to the box of matches you receive when you order a candle. Also very reasonable priced!

Keep expanding the line of smells please!
Beautiful products, great smells (without being overpowering), and EXCELLENT unboxing

This brand of candle ruined the paint on the wall in my bathroom. I had to get my whole bathroom repainted from the smoke. Hi highly do not recommend this candle.

The scents are super interesting like siracha rose, red rouge - so much variety! They also last a long time and are affordable/very cutely packaged. Great for gifts too if you purchase a set!
Feedback
It's sometimes hard to know what the scent will smell like because they're so ambiguous, which can be intimidating when you need to choose, but you can't go wrong, they all smell good and there's always a short in depth description to help you figure out if it's a sweeter scent vs. naturey, etc...

This is my 3rd otherland (3 candle) bundle purchase. I honestly buy them in bundles to keep 1-2 and use the 3rd as an emergency gift and everyone loves it. I'd highly recommend for housewarming or small christmas/birthday gifts.
Feedback
I think there's a pretty wide variety of scents, but would love for them to bring back all the different darker aesthetics they had earlier in the year.
