P.F. Candle Co. earns largely positive reviews for evocative, earthy fragrances like Teakwood & Tobacco, Amber & Moss, and Los Angeles that burn cleanly and often last, but mixed feedback questions candle scent throw and notes occasional inconsistent pours. The brand’s iconic amber glass aesthetic and broad format range (candles, reed diffusers, incense, room sprays) impress, while weaknesses include variable strength across scents, limited vessel variety, and isolated complaints about damaged products.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
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!

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

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

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

For the price that they charge, I'd highly recommend it!
Really long lasting scents, very high quality product. The packaging is basic but stands out in its own way.
If you like candles that actually make your spaces smell like something, these are not the one! Very low scent throw.

There are one billion "cool" candles out there nowadays, but PF was one of the firsts. Their Teakwood & Tobacco scent and amber vessels are totally iconic, and my fave scents include Eucalyptus & Neroli, Los Angeles, and one from their newest Soft Focus collection, Canyon Hideaway. We've had countless candles in our home for years, burn their incense cones outside, and there's always a diffuser in the bathroom. They are serious about fragrance and a fun brand to watch grow.

They've raised their prices over the years, but good for them?
I love P.F. Candle Co. I live near the flagship store and love coming in and smelling everything. I'm a big fan of the recycling program as well. I personally like buying the three-packs of a variety of candles, and I usually buy a diffuser for my bathroom.

The reed diffusers are great, fragrant but not overwhelming. I use the Amber & Moss scent because it makes every room smell so fresh! I wish they had just a few other vessel styles to choose from though, because it's a specific style.
Their spiced pumpkin candle is delicious and makes the house smell amazing! Some of their other seasonal smells are great too, but I go out of my way to buy the spiced pumpkin every fall.
Feedback
Some of the California based scents aren't as strong as I'd like.
Wonderful scents! Oil diffuser lasts a long time
These candles smell amazing! I love that they are made in California. The candles burn evenly and I’ve never had an issue with tunneling. Great gifts too as they are affordable priced.
Feedback
More scents!
I ADORE my PF candles. They always smell amazing and last forever.
Big PF Candle girl. Not huge into the diffusers, but the candles are earthy, natural-smelling, and long-lasting. I wish my local Whole Foods still carried them. What's more, the terracotta vessels that some of the candles come in have great second lives all around my house.
Feedback
Better distribution! I can barely find these anymore and I like to buy candles in person, especially when the scents are seasonal and change often.
Beautiful fragrances, I tried the LA candle. Long lasting and burned well too.
Feedback
Not my favourite packaging for gifting to others, but looks nice as a purchase for myself.

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.

I Love their candles, they smell amazing, burn evenly, and last so long. I am admittedly not a huge candle burner, but I bought three candles two years about and I have 1/3 left now. The Incense and reed defuses are more my speed and also amazing. I prefer the smoky aroma of incense to the fragrance of candles I will definitely buy this again.
