Homesick Premium Scented Candle, Illinois - Scents of Chocolate, Bergamot, 13.75 oz, 60-80 Hour Burn, Natural Soy Blend Candle Home Decor, Relaxing Aromatherapy Candle

I was born and raised right in the middle of South Carolina, so when I bought one of these during our terrible “shutdown year” of 2020 I just loved the scent. It really did remind me of some of the scents of home and it smelled a bit flowery without seeming too feminine for me (I usually prefer masculine scents).In other words they did a good job with all of the Notes (different kinds of smells in it).I also sent one of these as a gift to a girl friend in Seattle and she was really pleased with it.So there are really only two issues with this candle: it’s not large, and so it only has space for a single wick.But it did “throw” the scent pretty well and burned evenly all the way down to the bottom.The other issue is the price — at nearly $40 they aren’t cheap! But I don’t regret having purchased it and as a matter of fact I think I’m going to buy another one someday, and I’d also like to try to make my own version of it just for fun.Since I got this one from Homesick I’ve also bought a bunch of different kinds of candles from Goose Creek and Tuscany for about $10 to $15 apiece. Most of Goose Creek candles are very good and the shipping speed from Kentucky to LA was OK but slow compared to Amazon Prime. Most all of the Tuscany brand are mediocre in my opinion, but some are pretty good. None of them smelled like South Carolina though :-)

My most purchased candle of ALL TIME!! I am sensitive to artificial scents (like walking past B&BW and getting a headache) and this scent is so incredible. Also a great idea to gift as it comes in a really cute box.

Smells like fresh rainfall on a warm summer day, spring awakening all plant life, laundry dried on a clothesline…smells like Michigan! It’s not overpowering but has a clean, fresh scent. We received this as a gift in a basket that was Michigan themed. This was our favorite piece. We put it under a candle warmer and it smells 2 floors with magnificence!! We ordered 3 more…we will never go without this candle!

My fiance bought me one of these candles on our first anniversary when I was super homesick of Arkansas. I loved it so very much. This is now my go-to gift for someone when they live far from where they grew up at. The candle lasted a long time (probably longer than over candles). This one smelled really good (every one I've bought has smelled amazing). These are such a good purchase, definitely buy one.

they liked it

Love it! Smells like orange blossoms when buying. Reminds me of home!

This has over taken my love for that other candle company. Tobacco is the star player here and that’s ok with me being from North Carolina. Smells like grandpas house.

Smells great and perfect for gifts
