My Favorite Candle of All Time

This is the most wonderful smelling candle! It's subtle, but fills the room, so I feel like it's perfect if you're someone who is prone to getting fragrance headaches. I place it on my desk every time I work or write. My office doesn't quite feel complete without it these days. The best part is that this product is non-toxic, so I don't have to worry about burning it while my baby is in the room with me. I can't recommend it enough!

Aspen and Fig a big hit

The subtle smell of this candle is perfect when you just want something light and soft.

Fantastic Quality

I love this scent. Crisp and classic without feeling anchored to a specific season.the scent fills our space and burns so clean. I love the quality and mission of Calyan.

Thank you so much for your kind words! We take pride in providing high-quality products with a purpose, and we appreciate your support of our mission at Calyan!

Thank you so much for your kind words! And for trying our new Mahogany + Cashmere Resilience Series Candle! We are thrilled to hear that it has all your favorite scents! We are also grateful for your support of our mission. Thank you for being a part of our fight against human trafficking!

Quality and consistency

I stumbled upon Oakmoss+Amber candle in Sprouts while searching for a new candles for my room and immediately fall in love with it. I bought all of them and knowing that I will use more, I ordered online from Calyan Wax website. I got my candles and almost done burning all of them. Making a new order with more candles :P

I would like to say thank you for this beautiful scent and very consistent quality. I've got all the sizes and all of them smell the same. I can't explain how happy I am for this. Thank you very much!

Thank you for the review! We are so glad to hear that you love Oakmoss+Amber. It is a shop favorite! We appreciate your continued support and look forward to providing you with more candles in the future. Thank you for being a part of our fight to ed human trafficking!

Smells great in the jar but doesn't have much throw

I ordered the lavender and bergamot. While it smells nice in the jar, it doesn't have much throw and you can't smell the scent while the candle is lit. I figured this might be because the candles are nontoxic and therefore might not have as much "scent" while lit. I like the company's mission, however I wish the candle scent permeated the room a little more.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that Lavender + Bergamot candle didn't have as much throw as expected. Our candles are made with nontoxic ingredients, which may result in a milder scent when lit. We will definitely take your comments into consideration as we continue to improve our products. Thank you for supporting our mission and we hope you'll give our other scents a try in the future!

Excellent Candle & Great Price

I got a Calyan Wax Co candle about 2 years ago (an apple maple bourbon type scent?). Among the 5 or 6 scented candles I own, I noticed that it was the one with the most noticeable (but not overpowering) pleasant aroma. I added this more forest-and-freshness type candle to my collection, and again, the quality really stands out. I bought a mini candle for a friend's birthday also and I'm sure she'll love it. In my opinion, these are just noticeably above average candles, and Calyan Wax Co's dedication to a good cause plus reasonable price ranges has me hooked as a loyal customer.

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review of our Evergreen + Eucalyptus Dignity! We are thrilled to hear that you have been enjoying the scent and quality of our products, and we appreciate your support of our mission to make a positive impact. We hope your friend loves her mini candle as well. Thank you for being a loyal customer! We truly value your feedback!
