P.F. Candle Co. earns strong reviews for richly composed, clean‑burning scents and iconic staples like Teakwood & Tobacco and Amber & Moss, confirming the brand is good at delivering nuanced fragrance across candles, diffusers, and incense. However, reviews also flag inconsistent scent throw—some candles smell faint when lit—and occasional quality issues, plus limited vessel variety and divisive packaging aesthetics.

  • This spray is a must-have in any home. We use it on our sheets and in our bathroom primarily. It is the perfect thing to have available when guests are over. The teakwood and tobacco scent is our favorite!

  • I really enjoy all my PF Candle Co candles! They smell very interesting and burn quite cleanly. I have sensitivities to some candles but have never had any issue with these. Scent can fill the room quickly and keep smelling great for long!

  • PF candles are a staple in my house, after I learned how bad paraffin candles can be for your health. At first I was a bit intimidated by the price, but after comparing with other brands I think it’s a fair deal for a 100% soy candle with a rich smell with a lot of depth. I had heard the smell doesn’t carry on these candles, but I haven’t found that to be the case!

  • The Amber & Moss scent is incredible. I opened this candle and left it without a lid, and when I walked back into the room, it had the most lovely background scent. I love the scent so much I even gifted it to my bridesmaids. It also helps that the packaging is so beautiful!

  • Was first introduced to PF Candle and "good" incense in general through this product. We don't use it too often, but man this has made me change my mind on how I feel about incense. Most make the room feel greasy and have a lingering scent that doesn't make me feel well for whatever reason. Not these. I recently just put in an order for more scents and can't wait to try them out.

  • I've been a fan for years! I love the Amber and Moss scent and I've had the reed diffuser, room spray, candles, incense, and body wash. All have been great quality! The room scent didn't last very long but I still love the scent.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • The amber glasses and screw top lids give an apothecary vibe, very cute where ever you put them in your room. I've tried three of their scents so far and have enjoyed all of them. They also have seasonal scents, but my last Christmas/holiday candle was not as good as their signature ones.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I bought the smoked cherry Hi-Fi candle - it smells incredible when the candle isn't lit. Unfortunately the scent doesn't permeate as strongly as I thought it would (in a high ceiling living room) but I really love the clean ingredients and family-owned business.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.

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

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

  • 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.

  • 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!
