Sometimes when life gives you lemons, you’ve got to make lemonade. That’s exactly what the owners of Sunset Scents did when the company that they built their candle sales businesses around closed its doors. Flash forward four years later and here we are, doing a review of their very own candles!

A Closer Look at Sunset Scents

Both owners of Sunset Scents sold candles for the company Gold Canyon for many years. Unfortunately, Gold Canyon went out of business in March 2020 and these two young ladies were at a loss, like so many others. These innovative ladies put their heads together and brought forth a new candle company, Sunset Scents. Their first candle scent was Orange Blossoms and, to date, they now carry almost 30 delectable fragrances. The candle jars will look very familiar to old Gold Canyon candle fans.

This company has some similar fragrances, but they are all unique to this company. They have vibrant colors and a paraffin based wax with super long-lasting burns.

Life is meant to be enjoyed and at Sunset Scents we live life to the fullest. We work hard, play harder and strive to be the very best in the industry.

Sunset Scents Fall Leaves Candle

Products Offered

The diamond pattern glass container jars are the main attraction here, offered in both a medium (16 oz) and large (26 oz) size. They also carry tealights and container jar votives, including a votive sampler set. If you don’t want to light a flame, you can choose from their scent solutions oils, scent sticks, or their scent bursts. If that isn’t enough, they have monthly specialty candles that they rotate out.

Sunset Scents Ginger Lime Candle

Fall Leaves

I burned a medium sized candle in the scent Fall Leaves and simply fell…in…love! This candle is two-wicked and a dark green color. I love that the candle jars do not come obscured with labeling, so it gives that beautiful glow no matter where it faces. It is a super slow burning candle (as are all of the candles of Sunset Scents) and low maintenance overall. I just kept my wicks trimmed and sat back for the beautiful aroma.

The scent description reads: Musky notes of Musk, Jasmine, and Sandalwood

Sunset Scents Fall Leaves Candle

The fragrance itself is deep and warm, reminding one of everything that is good in the Fall. There are notes of jasmine listed in the scent description, but I didn’t detect that at all. Mostly sandalwood wrapped up in musk. A really strong fragrance without being overpowering. It had a fantastic throw.

Ginger Lime

Ok, this candle was easily my favorite. Hands down, nothing but goodness. Another medium sized candle, also green but lighter and brighter than Fall Leaves. This candle was full of energizing zest and filled my home with scented goodness easy peasy. Another slow burning candle, which I also truly appreciated.

The scent description reads: Tangy notes of Lime, Ginger, and Lemongrass

Sunset Scents Ginger Lime Candle

This is more of a “harsh” fruity fragrance – it is not drippy and sweet. It is more of a bold, energizing fragrance that is perfect to motivate you for, say, a full day of housecleaning. Light this one up and prepare to be mesmerized.

Hey, Sweet Pea

My Hey, Sweet Pea candle was in the large jar, also with 2 wicks. It was a pretty soft lavendar color that did have me longing for spring. I lit this one up and soon got the feeling I was in a fresh blooming garden. Amazing!

The scent description reads: Sweet notes of Raspberry, Sweet Pea, and Lilies

Sunset Scents Sweet Pea Candle

To me this fragrance was all floral and all good. Even the non-floral fans in this house agreed…this one is a winner. I will say that I was hoping for a bit more scent strength from this candle. It did throw well, especially with the larger jar size, but the fragrance was not as strong as I would have liked.

Pineapple Coast

The last candle that I tested with a medium sized Pineapple Coast scent. I was taken away by a fruity explosion of juicy pineapple notes. Sweet and tangy at the same time – pineapple perfection!

The scent description reads: Delightful notes of Pineapple, Orange, and Peach

Sunset Scents Pineapple Coast Candle

This is a great fragrance for spring and summer, but really for anytime of the year. the pineapple goodness was simple but spot on. Again, not as strong as I expected for a pineapple fragrance, but it was no dud, that’s for sure. It really did a great job scenting up the open area it was burning in, and for hours!

Overall Impression of Sunset Scents

4.5 flames rating
I am thoroughly impressed with the candles from Sunset Scents. This company carries a wide variety of products and scents, so something for just about everyone. The candles are long-lasting and offer up a clean burn. The candles looked stunning on the fireplace mantel and just about everywhere else we placed them. I found the scent strengths between moderately strong to strong and all of the scent throws were fantastic. This is a candle company we can definitely recommend!

Their candles can be purchased on their website.
