I’m defo-pants not a witch, strictly speaking, rather impertinent of you to assume. Terrific for when you want to set something on fire.

To be fair, I was asking if you were a witch. No assumptions were made on my behalf. ;P Hope you liked the candle!!

I do not live on haight, but I was once a sixteen year old girl. This is the smell of sweet, sweet deviance.

Arrived wildly quickly, and they are larger than I anticipated from the photos. The scents are pronounced, but not too strong. I am really impressed, and plan to buy more. :)

I bought this candle mostly because the name caught my eye and i liked the inspiration the seller described, but the scent itself is amazing too! it's my first time burning and while the scent isn't very strong yet, it's slowly filling up my bedroom with a unique orangey scent that reminds me of dried blood orange slices or orange tea. it's fruity without being too summery - the perfect sunshine for a winter evening .

Gave this as a gift and he absolutely loved it - can't stop raving about the "woodsy" scent! Great product and super fast shipping.

I Make Candles Now?

Definitely Not Candles started because I had a desire to do something (somewhat) creative with all my pent up 2020 Quarantine energy. I buy way too many candles (and other lovely smelling things) and some point frequently remember thinking "wow, I could make this." more times than I could count. I took a candle class just to see if I would even enjoy it (I did), and at some point I started making so many new concoctions in my kitchen that I didn't know where to turn. I started sending them to my friends and family, and after lots of positive feedback decided to start selling them to (hopefully) fund my hobby.

Hopefully you enjoy my creations as much as I enjoyed making them.
