"This is such a beautiful scent, it really feels like you're at a spa, it's such a clean, fresh smell and not too perfumey or overpowering. I love burning it in my bedroom half an hour before bed and it feels luxurious when it's time to turn off the lights and go to sleep!"
"Much too floral. Gave me a bit of a headache just smelling the box. No need to light this one, unfortunately it’s going back. LAFCO should cover the return shipping cost. I spent $250 dollars on 3 candles and I did not like the scent of 2 of the 3. Now I have to pay $25 to ship 2 candles back? Do better Lafco! It’s hard to buy candles from an online description. I’ve been a customer of yours for 10 years now and I’ve never had to return a candle. At least cover the return shipping if I’m going to exchange. Disappointed in the lack of customer service from that aspect. Even cheaper candle companies offer complimentary returns."
"The light scent of cotton is extremely soothing but also uplifting. It seems particularly good for that early spring clean in February or March; for those light spring and summer days, and for those easy late summer evenings. It's wonderful, very homelike and peaceful."
"Highly fragranced & complex. The scent carries throughout my house. We are enjoying it!"
"Light, fresh, citrusy. It smells clean and crisp! Perfect candle to light while doing weekend chores."
"I have been burning this candle for the past two weekends. I light it as I do my “weekend reset” cleaning chores and tidying the house. It is a beautiful floral linen scent and fills the space well. I do have trouble with these candles not completely pooling out no matter how long I burn it, resorting to the foil technique which is annoying to have to do on such an expensive brand. Your candle glass is a work of art, why make us cover with foil to get a good burn?! I do appreciate the beautiful jar and reuse them around my home all the time. They make an excellent outer cache pot for 3. 5 inch plants!"
"Review for LAFCO scent/marketing team only: Strong foundation, but this scent is one adjustment away from being exceptional. Right now, the Freesia, which should be the star of the show, gets overpowered during the burn by the Linen note. On cold throw, the balance works. But once lit, the Linen becomes too dominant and flattens the complexity that makes LAFCO candles feel elevated in the first place. Main issue: LAFCO customers are not buying candles because they want another generic “clean linen” scent we can buy at a Nordstrom Rack for half the price. They buy LAFCO because the brand usually delivers interesting, sophisticated fragrances with depth. My recommendation: Reduce the Linen fragrance oil concentration by roughly 15–20% and increase the Freesia presence. Add slightly more Driftwood to deepen the profile and maintain the luxury feel. That adjustment would allow the Freesia to come forward the way the scent marketing suggests it should. The current version is okay. The potential version is memorable."
"Scent is very subtle and light. It does smell clean and fresh but not pungent enough."
"Weekend Retreat is ann elevated vibe that instantly makes your space feel calm and inviting. The scent is clean and sophisticated with just the right touch of spunk and fun. This fragrance is ideal for relaxing weekends or everyday luxury."
"If you're looking for a bright and citrus scent this is it! It invokes feelings of a spa retreat in the English countryside while flowers are in bloom. Nice summer scent for a bathroom or entryway."
