Last year I did a great job of trying different candle brands- I think I tried 9 or 10. It's always my goal every year to try new brands and not get stuck buying the same old over and over again. It's good to switch it up- there are new brands that deserve a chance. PF Candle is not a new brand- but it's new to me. It's a brand I have always wanted to try...but it disappeared off the site where I mostly buy candles. But now it's back.
PF candle claims:
About This Fragrance

Heart: cypress needle, dried thyme leaves, orris root, almond blossom
Base: amber, sandalwood, vetiver, patchouli, woodsmoke
I thought I would start with this scent...mostly because I was intrigued by the name. What is an Iris Suede?
But I'll start talking packaging first. It doesn't come in a box...I love a good box but we are saving paper. It comes in very apothecary simple packaging which I am a big fan of. I especially love the brown apothecary look. It reminds me of something simple and handmade.
It's a decently sized candle. And I believe it to be pure soy or as close to pure soy because it bubbles at the top like most soy candles tend to do.
It burns well- no sooting. No need to foil it because it pools out to the corners. It's an easy candle.
It has the problem that most soy candles have- the first couple of hours of burn time are very lightly scented. It does get stronger as you burn it down but this is not a strong candle. PF claims to make candles for those with scent sensitivity ..so you will not be getting powerhouse scents. I've come to like that although I do wish this was a tad stronger.
Now...the scent. I really enjoy this scent. When I first smelled it I was reminded of scented crayons from my childhood. I think it was a brown crayon scented like "dirt". It actually smelled amazing though. It was the best scented crayon in my collection (I had an impressive crayon collection as a kid- glitter crayons-neon, scented etc). It also kinda smells like pencil shavings-in a good way. And then it has this soft lavender vanilla kinda scent. It does also have a lot of leather to it and a hint of woodiness with smoke. I love it. I really do. It's such a relaxing scent.
I don't see it on the site anymore so I'm guessing it's discontinued? I sure hope not. I would love to have another one.
As for price- they are expensive. But they are on the lower end of higher end products. So slightly more affordable...and I have seen them listed on a really good sale price directly from the company.
Overall, I'm into it. I do wish they were slightly stronger. It kinda reminds me of a better Bath and Body Works Lavender and Vanilla candle Looking at the rest of their scents- I feel like they are just what I am looking for in a candle. So you already know I will be trying more. I already have my second PF candle and I am planning to review it once I burn through a little more of it.
