PF Candle Co sells a range of home fragrance products such as candles, diffusers, and room sprays. 

Hi, we're P.F. Candle Co. — a Los Angeles-based home fragrance company owned and operated by Kristen Pumphrey and Thomas Neuberger. As we grow, so does our commitment to sustainability, to our planet, and to our crew who makes it all happen.

The entire P.F. collection is vegan, cruelty-free, and phthalate-free — always. All of our candles are made with 100% domestically-grown soy wax. While our production methods have improved since our founding in 2008, something that hasn't changed about P.F. products is the people behind them. All of our products are developed, produced, tested, and packed by our team out of our warehouse in Los Angeles, CA.

Candles

P.F. Candle Co.'s products have been praised for their amazing and diverse scents, high quality, reasonable prices, and longevity. The candles burn evenly and the company offers other products like incense and reed diffusers that are also loved. However, there are complaints about the weak throw of the candles, and some customers have received products with physical defects. There's also a desire for more variety in vessel styles.

The scents are SO GOOD but the throw is nonexistent. I ordered one of the candles after smelling an unlit one in store and falling in love with it but I can barely smell it at all, even up close. The candle I purchased also came with multiple holes in the top - seemed like a botched pour.

Their rose and sandalwood candle does not smell strong at all-in fact it has no scent when burning 

favorite candle company! as basic as it might be…. their pumpkin spice candle is my favorite scent of all time. 

P.F. is one of my go-to candle shops for myself and gifts for others. High quality candles for very reasonable prices. I like more woody, herbaceous scents and Teakwood & Tobacco, Golden Coast, and Amber & Moss are some of my favorites. I love their incense and their hand soap has such a luxurious feel to it.

Beautiful, simple, and amazing smelling candles.

My favorite, and most repurchased, candle brand!! The amber & moss scent is soooo good and it never gets old. The candles burn well and don't tunnel nearly as much as competing brands, in my opinion.

Don't buy the candles. They have NO smell. I bought the standard and my sister bought the extra scented one and both of us have barely any smell. The room spray and diffusers are awesome. 

Some decent products but way overpriced and customer service is definitely sub-par.!They sent me $200 worth of...damaged...candles with oil running out of the candles and outside over the jars and all over the rest of the packaging. I sent them photos of the majority of my purchase and they replied back about  how the candles should still be usable after cleaning them up but not to ignite them until all of the oil was cleaned(?!). I just asked to send them back for a refund and they told me they don't pay for return shipping. So now I'm stuck with damaged and potentially hazardous candles plus $200 down the drain.

Love the aesthetic and the fragrances. Some have been hit and miss, but on the whole a good quality candle, with attractive packaging, at reasonable prices. 

Some of the candles have a super light throw, was surprised that the sandalwood rose was not more fragrant. 

Really lovely fragrances, especially the ojai lavender and sunbloom. Have tried both the candles and incense and both give off great fragrance without being cloying. 

I’m addicted to every single scent they create! Their candles have a lot high quality scents that linger even after extinguishing the flame. I also really love the incense cones, room sprays, and reed diffusers as they help to add an extra scent layer in my apartment. My favorite scent is the Electric Surf as it smells like a summer day on the beach but also really clean. 

Aesthetically, these are some of my favorite candles for the fall. The brown and amber glass makes my space feel really autumnal in a region that doesn't have changing leaves and cool weather. The scents are really nice and natural, I love these candles!

Really long lasting scents, very high quality product. The packaging is basic but stands out in its own way.

Don't be thrown off by their look - these great candles. Good bang for your buck!

All Time Favourite Candles!

No matter how many candles I try (voluspa, boy smells, bijou, capri, etc) I keep coming back to P.F. Candle Co. They burn super clean, always smell real (you know how some candles smell waxy or fake?), and the scents are amazing. Great throw. Love that each candle has a lid. Moss & Amber is one of my favourite.

Their incense are also good. Not too strong. 

I also love their jar and reuse them. The vessels are not as fancy as other brands, but they are useful!

There is nothing particurarly wrong with these candles, but there is nothing particurarly great about them either, and for the price, I would expect them to be great. The scents are alright, but nothing revolutionary.  The packaging/jar + sticker are not my style, and for the price, I would expect something a bit more elevated. It is a basic candle, and I have found better scents with better throw and cuter packaging elsewhere. 

Love the scent "Teakwood and Tobacco". The candle jars itself are high quality and can be reused for other purposes! 

I got the standard candle, diffuser, and room/linen spray in Ojai Lavender during a recent sale, and the fragrance is amazing! I don't find that a ton of candle/fragrance companies (at least the ones I'm aware of/frequent) are leaning into herby/earthy scents that aren't aggressively smoky smelling and it's great to have this as an option. (Don't get me wrong, I love a smoky candle, but I'm more partial to woody scents than tobacco/leather. And I know that P.F. Candle Co. has that available if someone prefers that too.) I am using the diffuser in a smaller space, and I think it has great throw for what I was expecting based on the description from the website.

For the price that they charge, I'd highly recommend it! 

I love this brand. I hit up their Echo Park Shop once a month for the usual: large teakwood candle, regular size; ojai lavender, Los Angeles, tonic candle. My girl friend never leaves without incense sticks, match books and car air fresheners. It’s the perfect chill life style brand that is made locally in So Cal and high quality. Love them. Love them! 

Smell very lovely. I appreciate that they have a good range to their scents & so many scents that are more unique. I like the packaging. They are good quality. Luxury candles that project pretty well. Really good quality air fresheners.
