This was the first time I made candles. My dad joined and the experience was amazing. This would make a great activity with family during the holidays. The FO stayed and you could definitely smell the FO all over the home. I also poured some into a candy mold I had just for fun to make wax melts and those turned out amazing as well. I gave some to a friend and she loved them and those wax melts made her entire house smell. From my little bit of understanding, I know this wax is not a wax melt wax but if it's just for gifts and fun it worked amazingly! Definitely a great first experience making candles! Thank you CS for making it so easy!

It’s fun to make it but i can’t smell anything with 3 candles burning at the same time…the oil smelled great in the bottle, followed the instructions but left disappointed. For the price of the kit and shipping i could have gotten better candles

During this quarantine I was bored and decided to do some candle making.....so glad I came across this site. Already created my starter kit candles. The professional kit is next.

I enjoyed this starter kit to try my hand at candle making. I followed the instructions and all went well except when I pulled the wick "taut" as the instructions say, it came right out of its little metal holder. This was after I had poured the wax. So I had to pour the wax back into the pitcher and take a toothpick and jam the wick back into the little hole and re-pour the wax. So be careful when putting the wicks into the wick bars, which was also difficult. The slot in the wick bar was pretty small and I wasn't sure how to get the wick in it, so I made the slot bigger by prying it open with some scissors. I might just need practice. Otherwise, I had a lot of fun!

Great kit to get started making your own candles. I like that the wax is microwave safe and there's no measuring involved. The candles are excellent gifts, especially during the holidays. I believe this is an easy enough project for older kids and teens who enjoy diy projects.

This a great kit with clear instructions and creates wonderful candles.

This review may be a little premature given I only poured my candles three days ago. So bear in mind when reading this that I can't speak to the hot throw just yet. I bought this on a whim because I made candles in a workshop once and loved it. I was a little surprised when I got the kit that all you needed to do was microwave the wax rather than heat it on the stove. On one hand, that makes it very convenient and easy. On the other hand, for me, it felt a little too easy. However, I do see the benefit of this simple method for people who have never made candles before, and I appreciate being able to create something lovely in just four or five minutes.

I ended up purchasing additional fragrances because I knew I'd be making more candles after this kit was complete, so I ended up using Apple Harvest and Pumpkin Chai for my kit candles. Both smelled incredible upon pouring, and our entire home smelled like autumn when we woke up the next morning. The candles are currently curing on our bookshelf, and we're giving them a few weeks before burning, but the cold throw is just delightful. You can't help but smile when you catch a whiff of the candles!

The only other shortcoming I noticed was that one of my candle tins was dented along the rim. It doesn't impact how the lid sits on the base, but this would be a downfall if I planned on gifting the candles to someone else.

This kit was amazingly easy. Candle Science goes the extra mile with their kits by eliminating all the guess-work and supplying everything. The fragrances in the Fall kit are phenomenal.

New to candle making? Try this kit for the fall. The kit is great, it has everything you need to start making your own candles. Great for yourself, or as a gift. You will love the Fraser Fir & Apple Harvest <--- WINNING Fragrance Oils.

Would like to start making candles
