Reviews mention

  • Rich, sophisticated fragrance palette
  • Striking, decorative vessel design
  • Consistently strong scent throw
  • Reusable, versatile candle jars
  • Inconsistent burn time on minis
  • Occasional waxy, artificial undertone
  • Diffuser lacks granular controls
  • Diffuser scent fades relatively quickly

Voluspa earns largely positive reviews for richly scented candles in beautiful, giftable vessels, though performance varies. Fans praise strong throw, standout scents like Goji Tarocco Orange, French Cade & Lavender, Baltic Amber, and Tahitian Coconut Vanilla, plus repurposable jars; detractors report small candles that burn down quickly, occasional waxy/artificial notes, and a diffuser with only on/off control and underwhelming scent longevity.

  • beautiful box and gorgeous candle design that smell amazing as well, perfect for gifting (my sister loved these) plus it came with a mini candle sampler to try as well. the throw is great and they seem like they'll last above-average burning hours.

  • Their candles and diffusers have lovely scents, or favorite is panjore lychee - floral and not sickly sweet! I've had their candles in different sizes and they all have a great burn time. Their diffuser is nice but I find the scent doesn't last too long compared to other brands.

  • Love love love this candle!! It’s smells just like Christmas. And I love decorating for Christmas early so with this 250 hour burning candle, I’m able to have my house smelling like the holidays early and have it last.

  • A friend of mine gifted me a Voluspa candle set so I can't speak to the value, but I love the scents and I've found the burn time to be quite good. I have the mini candle set and they've been burning well.

  • I was just okay on the candle. I wanted to love the brand and wanted to invest in a giant candle but the small one I had didn’t even burn all the way down. It was finished in about two uses. I’ve read that about their candles but was surprised when it was done so fast.

  • Small candles and don’t last like Yankee and are more expensive. They do smell nice though and come in cute containers. You can find sales on Sephora sometimes and that’s when I bought mine. Would still recommend.

  • VOLUSPA I had my eye on the Fragrance Oil Diffuser for a while, but the $115 price tag was a concern. When my husband gifted it to me for my birthday, I was thrilled—until I realized there’s no way to control how often or how much billows from it. It’s simply on or off, which, for the price, is disappointing and unacceptable. When I tried to return it, I was told that once it’s opened or used, returns aren’t allowed. That policy, combined with the product’s lack of features, means I won’t be purchasing from them again.

  • I received their candles as gifts in the past. Although they are not my favorite I found the sent sweet and the packaging a bit ornate for my style.

  • A tried and true classic, you can't beat the price for the quality and scents of the candles! In the last year or two, they've been releasing new scents, candle types, and scent diffusers, which is cool because, for a while there, they were not innovating.

  • The candles look classy and they smell divine. Perfect for any occasion including a nice unwinding at the end of the day.

  • LOVE the goji tarocco orange scent, it's one I have purchased over and over again even with the steeper price. The throw on these candles are pretty good and the packaging always functions as beautiful decor pieces. I've also been able to repurpose some of the glass jar and tins for other uses.

  • Lovely candles with delicious scents and beautiful vessels. Volupsa makes some of the most juicy and potent scents in my opinion. I've been using this brand for years. The throw can vary per scent, but is usually really good. These candles do smell a little waxy and artificial at times.... but this doesn't detract from the experience. I just have a sensitive nose. I love how their scents come in many sizes and both metal and glass containers. I use the vessels once I finish the candle.

  • I have loved all the candle scents and all the jars from this brand! The french cade and lavender is one of the best candles I have ever burned. I feel like they are a great value for the price and there is always one for every type of scent family.

  • These candles smell so amazing. I have baltic amber and Tahitian coconut vanilla and I love the scents. It's sweet and not too overpowering. The jar is also beautiful and I've repurposed them after the candles have run out. I also love the variety of sizes especially if you're not too sure about committing to one scent. The best!!
