Customer Reviews

  1. I absolutely love the melt pool candles. They burn clean and the level of fragrance that comes from them is second to none. I have previously bought them from local gift shops as we like to support local but there are so many great fragrances to choose from that I have started to purchase them from their own website. I am going to shop for my Christmas presents here and now a total convert, I can’t see any need to shop elsewhere as I have found the perfect candles. Thank you Melt Pool.

  3. Hi, I just wanted to say how absolutely gorgeous my Geranium, Bergamot and Lavender diffuser is.
    I've bought the candle before and just love this soothing smell so I've bought this for my work desk at home.
    Excellent eco packaging, no plastic, I will definitely be buying again. Thank you so much.

  7. The most gorgeous reed diffuser on the market. It lasts for AGES without the scent fading whatsoever and fills even the largest rooms. I bought one at the start of November (Ylang-Ylang & Patchouli) and it's STILL going strong (mid-January), in fact it's only half way through. Would definitely recommend and I will being buying more from this range. AND, this company are local to me - so double whammy!

  8. Bought the luxury lavender and lemongrass candle from a little shop in Drumnadrochit and it was a hit! So came by to order more to support a local business and keep me motivated while working from home :)

  9. Beautiful candles. My favourite smell of all time is the Geranium, Bergamot and Lavender. If feels like you are in a spa when it is lit. It makes me feel calm.
    I have tried the tins, and just ordered a large glass one. And after buying the reeds for my hubby from my son, for his home office, I was loving the smell from his office so much, I ordered two more. One for the bathroom and one for the en-suite. I have also sent candles with the same smell to my two Aunties as both their husbands died during the first lockdown, and it was so they could light a candle for them over Christmas and the New Year.
    These candles and reeds and this smell are my go to products now!!

  10. I received a lovely gift of The Melt Pool candles and a diffuser at Christmas and they smell absolutely amazing! I have the diffuser in the downstairs loo and you can even smell it in the hall - lovely and fresh.

    I've been using the candles at night and they're lush! The Lavender I set for a wee hour before I go to sleep and it's really relaxing.

    Thanks and well done x

  12. I love this brand. I was introduced to it by a friend a few months ago and now I can’t use any other brand.
    I’m currently using the lemongrass and lavender reed diffuser and I can smell it as soon as I walk into the room. It’s so uplifting!
    I’m waiting on refills coming as I can’t bear the thought of running out.
    I’ve also used a selection of the candles and all are really great too. I can recommend the Origins geranium, sweet orange and patchouli.

  25. Really impressed with my first order thank you. The candle burned perfectly all the way to bottom and the fragrance from both the candle and diffuser oil intense enough yet not at all overpowering. A really nice balance.

  27. I found Melt Pool by chance in a lovely little shop in St Andrews. I have bought many diffusers now directly from Melt Pool . My favourites being Geranium with Bergamot and the new Origins Geranium & Orange . They smell the room beautifully not like others I have had in the past and the benefit is you can buy refills 😊. Excellent service too.

  30. I have been using Luxury Selection for some years - The lavender and lemongrass was my favourite in candle and diffuser. However, I now have another favourite - Lavender and sweet orange in the Origins Selection. It is absolutely gorgeous. So far used the candle, but am now awaiting my reed diffuser in the same scent. Can't wait. Lovely company, lovely products. Thank you Julie and Gerry.

  44. Been buying the candles for a few years, and love them. Recently bought the Reed Diffuser in Lemongrass and Lavender. Absolutely beautiful. Have it in the bathroom, and although I only use 2 sticks, it permeates into my lounge and bedroom, but never overpowering - just gorgeous. Thank you Julie

  45. Julie made me some triple wick candles which were fantastic for our big room. Since then however the reed diffusers - or smelly sticks as I like to call them - have come into stock. Love the Geranium with Bergamot & Lavendar. Lemongrass & Lavender is delightful in the bedroom. Just put in yet another order....

  46. I placed an order in the first week of January and received my well protected parcel three days later. Delightful customer service, easy website to navigate and fabulous, well scented candles. I will definitely be placing orders in the future.
    Many thanks

  47. I want to do a candid review on the first three items I bought and the CS of TMP candle co. I originally ordered two items, a large geranium tin candle and a medium Peppermint, Rosemary and Lavender unboxed candle. I think the latter was out of stock so the owner kindly sent me that fragrance in wax melts, a medium boxed Ylang Ylang Patchouli candle and a medium Gernaium, Bergamot and Lavender candle.

    The wax melts smelled strong in the packet and when put on a basic melter, the scent filled the room. The Peppermint and Rosemary were definitely more evident than the lavender yet overall it was calming not overpowering and very fresh. The Ylang Ylang Patchouli candle has a stronger fragrance of patchouli, I did not really smell the ylang ylang as it was burning. It's earthy and comforting but can be burned at any time of day in any season. The geranium candle took a while to give out any fragrance and emitted a better scent throw, the longer it was burned. It is very floral but the geranium and bergamot come across more so than the lavender.

    Overall these candles are fragrant and subtly so. The scents are very natural and change the mood of a room. If your room is large, I'd consider the larger candles or status candles. I've put in an order for larger tumblers and a large peppermint tin. I've had candles from various popular brands and many have been more expensive and disappointing in terms of throw. These are £15 for the double wick status jar. Definitely something affordable here for everyone.

  49. Bought my first Melt Pool candle at the John Hartson Foundation ladies lunch back in September and I can honestly say it is the most fragrant candle I have ever bought! Everyone compliments when walking in my house... Will be buying many many more.

  51. Thank you for the beautiful candles! I purchased a few different scents for Mother's day gifts (as well as some for myself!) and they were well received. It was difficult to give them away as I really wanted to keep them for myself! Love the scents and the fantastic customer service! Will definitely be purchasing more. Thanks again.

  52. These are the nicest candles I have come across in a long time. I initially bought the Geranium and Bergamot and for a while didn't even burn it because the scent was so lovely..... but its even nicer when lit :-) I'm so glad I found The Melt Pool on line as I have now added the Patchouli and Ylang Ylang to my collection - and will be buying more! I have to commend Julie both for her product and her customer care - I highly recommend her candles both as gifts and personal use. Beware though - if you are buying as a gift.....get several as I can guarantee you won't want to give them away :-) Thanks so much Julie.

  53. Just want to add to my previous review of the Lemongrass and Lavender candle which is gorgeous. I have now tried the Peppermint, Lavender and Rosemary, and I must say, it also is absolutely gorgeous. Have just ordered some more, and will continue doing so.
    Thank you Julie for these lovely candles, and for the kind help you have shown me.
