Candlefind Review Board Archive

I am burning my first soy candle (Cantalope Blossoms) from this Company and it is great!!! I could smell the scent as soon as I opened the shipping box. The service is fantastic as well as the customer service. I will most certainly be ordering again from this company and am looking forward to burning different scents. I highly recommend Willowcreek candles.

I have had a great experience with Shannon at Willow Creek. I loved all of my candles. I ordered Cantaloupe Blossoms(Candle of the Month), Kindred Spirits, Love Affair, Fresh Linen, Vanilla Moon, and Autumn Harvest. Kindred Spirits smells awesome - I think it is their best seller. I also ordered her soy body butter in Satin Creme Cake - It smells so good I want to eat it. She also sent me a free air freshener in Sex on the Beach. It smells so good. That's the first thing I smelled when I opened the box. My husband kept smelling something tropical when he walked through the room and everything was still packed in the box. All of the candles smell really good and the shipping time was great. I emailed Shannon with a question and she was quick to respond. She also offered to make a soy body butter for me upon request. That's great service! I hear the candle of the month for July is going to be a good one! I'll be ordering again. Thanks Shannon!

I have ordered three times from this company's web site and overall I love the candles. Highlights of my experience: Quick shipping: All three times I received my order within 5 days. (Note that this company is located in the same state where I live) Reasonable Price: In addition to the "Candle Find" discount they offer, they also offer 20% off their scent of the month. Also shipping is a flat $8.50 or free for orders over $65.00. 100% soy candles: very clean burn Great scent throw Below is my review of the scents that I purchased. Mulled Cider: My personal favorite, I've tried the votives, jars, and air freshener in this scent. It is a great fall frangrance. Spiced Orange: Great scent throw. Very authentic. Cinnamon Stick: Very strong and authentic. Cantaloupe Blossoms: Again very strong and melony Cucumber Melon: I tried this one only in the votive and it didn't seem to have a very strong scent. I prefer a stronger melon scent and this was a little too much cucumber for my taste. But I may try it in a larger jar. Sex on the Beach: Wonderful fruity scent. I had problems with tunneling on this scent in the 18 oz jar. None of the other candles that I've bought from them had the problem so it may just be this one scent or it may have been a bad batch. Candy Apple: Sweet apple scent but not very strong. Overall this is a wonderful company and I will certainly be purchasing more from them. ***update*** Shannon read my post about the Sex on the Beach candle tunneling and sent me another one (Did I mention that customer service is great?). I am happy to report that this one did not tunnel, therefore I am upgrading my rating to a 10. I also tried some new scents with this shipment. Orange Creme-Love it. Good scent throw...Smells like the orange cream soda that I loved as a kid. Pomegranate-Love it...Strong fruity scent, good throw. I also got a few others that I haven't tried yet. I'll update on those later

I was browsing the sale page on candlefind (have you guys seen this page?!) and I found Willow Creek. They have a good discount so I surfed over to see what was available. I ordered tarts in Italian Lemon, Satin Cream Cake, Midnight Mocha, Vanilla Moon and Cantalope Blossom as well as the scent of the month jar. They sent me a free votive in Spiced Cherry Wine. All these scents are strong.....I mean STRONG! I love these. The price was great, especially with the discount and shipping is a flat $8.50. This was a great experience and I will order again. They have some great scents, I just wish they had a bigger variety! Wait, maybe it's a good thing they don't!

I too found this site on the sales page. I was impressed with the 15% discount because you can use it with any of their sales and free shipping!! I ordered the 18oz size candles, my favorites so far have been: [b]Kindred Spirits[/b]-fruit smell with a great throw, Spiced Cherry Wine, and Gingered Maple Rum. Italian Lemon was a little light to my nose as was Gauva/green tea. I have yet to burn Amaretto Tiramisu-but the cold smell is yummy(chocolate and almonds). I have really enjoyed these candles and with the discount I say give them a try!! They also have soy butter and air fresheners which may interest some of you!!! :wink:

This is my initial impression with this company: FRESH LINEN: Love it! I bought this on my first order in a 5 oz jar and the melts. Then I bought a larger candle (18 oz Cracker Jar)with my second order. The small candle filled my laundry room and the scent seeped out into the hallways. Not bad for a 5 oz candle! The melts were wonderful, strong, and I burned them several hours before they lost scent. Description from the site - "Crisp and Clean! Select florals and citrus notes combine to create a perfect rendition of summer sun and southern breeze dried sheets." I would say that was definitely accurate. HUCKLEBERRY: From the website - "Found in the wilds of the Northwest, huckleberries are a special treat. These small berries are sweet and tart all at the same time. Similar to a grape scent, this candle truly captures warm berries picked on a summer day." I bought these in the melts. While I loved the cold scent, I did not think they had much of a scent throw when I melted them. I wasn't that impressed with this one. SPRING BLOOM: I have yet to burn these melts. Pretty cold throw. From the website - "An exquisite blend of ripe fruits and sweet florals. Beautiful rose, jasmine and lilac are surprisingly blended with peach, and coconut with back notes of sheer musk and sandalwood." I just placed my second order. It includes the large Fresh Linen, as well as: Orange Creme, Desert Rain, and a votive (Pomegranate). I will update when I get these.

I ordered 5 candles and an air fresner from this company. I ordered two cantalope blossoms to give as gifts. I snuck a sniff and they are very nice!!! I also ordered vanilla grapefruit, spiced orange, and sandlewood. All are great. The air freshner I ordered is Gentleman's Club. My favorite scent is the Gentleman's Club. To me it smells like a mountain cabin. I have it in my car and I feel like I am on vacation everytime I go somewhere. Now about the candles. They are the 18 oz jars. They look very nice, and there is no lable so once the candles are gone I can wash the soy wax out with soap and water and use the jars for many other things. The scents when lit are very strong. They fill the whole house. I am impressed with all three candles, though I think I like the vanilla grapefruit best because I have never smelled anything like it before. I will be ordering from this company many more times. BTW the service was super! Give this company a try, it will become a favorite of yours! Be sure and look at the sale on the candlefind page because you will save 15%. They also have a scent of the month with takes 3 dollars off each candle. You can use both dicounts.

My favorite scent is vanilla grapefruit.

I ordered from this company because of reviews and specials found on Candlefind, I ordered several 5 oz. jars to try, my mind is still not made up about this company, here is what I tried. Serenity - nice herbal spa scent, I burn this when I have allergies or a headache and it very relaxing Sage and Citrus - ok, a nice scent but not a WOW Guava Green Tea - I enjoyed this, it is very light Cantaloupe Blossoms - I am not a melon chick, but I really enjoyed this, a fresh Spring scent, I will order again next Spring in a bigger jar. Vanilla Grapefruit - a really nice scent, I burned it in my bedroom and it is really a perfect scent for that room. Autumn Harvest - I ordered my candles in the Spring so I have not burned this yet, smells cold very much of maple. Sex on the Beach - I didn't burn this one over the summer, the cold smell was very soapy, hopefully will burn great, I'll let you know. Spiced Orange - I was sooooo disappointed when I got this in the mail, I love spice and fruit candles and orange is my favorite fruit so I was very excited to open this. I just knew I was going to love it so much I ordered it in the bigger 9oz. cracker jar. The cold smell is very soap/furniture polish to me. I decided since it was Spring I would put the lid back on and stick it in the back of the closet till fall. I opened it back up recently and the cold smell is less soapy. I don't want to judge it unfairly until I burn it. Since it is finally getting cooler I am planning to light that baby up this weekend. I will let you know how it smells burning! Hot Apple Pie - I was sent a lovely HAP votive with my order which I happened to burn last weekend. I placed it in my votive holder in our powder room. I had two other 9oz. candles going in other rooms. We happened to have company and everyone kept opening the bathroom door to find out where that scent was coming from. What a nice fresh and spicey scent. I will be ordering myself a nice big jar of that whenever they have there next sale.
