I haven't lit the candle yet, so no photo. But, the scent is what was promised and more, I love it!!!
CORINNE P.
Smells amazing. Cinnamon scent with like a musk too so that it's not just a plain cinnamon scent, it's a more diverse scent profile.
Amber L.
THANK-YOU !!! For such a amazingly beautiful candle .
Hailey
The Alchemist is one of the first candles I bought from MythologieCandles. I loved it so much I ended up buying another one.
Mary F.
Tha Alchemist is new, yet familiar; exciting yet peaceful, altogether wonderful. My very favorite scent - and I've tried a LOT of brands/scents!!
Marc L.
The Alchemist was a bit disappointing, if only because I was expecting either the woods or patchouli to be the dominant note, given the description of "frayed scrolls, ancient tomes..." The vetiver and amber are not distinguishable. This is primarily a smooth cinnamon-scented candle complemented by faint woody notes.
If you enjoy cinnamon, The Alchemist will please you: it smells good; it fills the room in a pleasant, not overbearing way; and it's clearly high quality craft.
Glenda P.
I splurged:
The Alchemist candles arrived yesterday and I am delighted!
I have trouble finding candles I really enjoy because it's rare to find scents that I like e.g. chemical florals are particularly obnoxious to me. Patchouli is my long-time favorite scent with vetiver a close second.
In yestereve's twilight, I added fire to the wooden wick, watched the flame dance, and breathed in "earthy patchouli, powdery sandalwood, spicy cinnamon, vetiver, cedarwood and amber." Warmth... Mystery... Seduction... Impossible possibilities... Dreams turning to gold... Perfection!
My next order will include one of the new roll-on fragrances, because I have the same problem finding perfumes I like. I'm considering The Tudor Library "patchouli, amber, clove, citrus, musk & vanilla.
Stephanie L.
This is one of my favorites, next to the king of the wood elves and the ranger.
I love this scent.
Laura T.
This candle is one of my top three favorites. Strongly scented, if fills my entire upstairs with such a delicious combination of cinnamon and cedar. Perfect for late nights snuggled up with a glass of wine and a favorite book!
Noretta K.
Started with the Alchemist. I love it. So very glad they are pet friendly, my cats don’t get sick with these candles. Can’t wait to try the others.
The Alchemist had a sweet patchouli smell, but not overwhelming.
Shaleen F.
It’s a wonderfully scented candle! Thank you so much!!
cindy c.
Once this candle was lit I could smell the fragrances of really earthy smells. My favorite is patchouli mixed in with all the other smells. I am ordering more which I already did. Your prices are reasonable also. I can see a lot of hard work goes into these candles and to top it off the wooden wick makes that crackling sound each time you light it which is mesmerizing in itself.
Stephanie B.
Love this candle - smells amazing and arrived quickly. I will be ordering more...actually already tried to order more and they are all sold out =(
Karen T.
I love this candle! It’s calming and a little medicinal. I will be trying the other scents in the very near future!
Lynn L.
I love this spicy scent. It has become a favorite, along with The Tudor House Library.
Mary T.
I have the candle burning behind me right now. I do like the scent of it. I have it in front of my raven lady I had made with her inside part of a tree. she is enjoying it too.
Sarah D.
I LOVE these candles!!! The scent is amazing, not overpowering but fills the room nicely. The packaging is very beautifully designed and enchanting to open. This is my first time burning a wooden wick and I have to say I’m enjoying it. The way it makes the flame crackle and dance adds so much atmosphere. I’m also very impressed by the emails from Mythologie on candle care and proper wick trimming, they have been very helpful. My only warning is to tread with caution and order at your own risk........these candles can easily become an obsession!!!
Nannetta C.
It seemed like it took forever to arrive. I used the last of the candle yesterday. For as often as I had the wick lit, it lasted awhile. Love the scent, and even when the wick was extinguished I could still detect the candle scent.
Wendy J.
I really like the Tudor candle but it smells like a man wearing Old Spice and musk. Smells like my dad, but also like my ex which is unfortunate. I'll try another scent because the candles are really quality.
Susan L M.
Wonderful scent!
Nancy M.
My Alchemist candle arrived and I couldn’t wait to light it. The scent is incredibly light. I smell tiny hints of metal, fire, citrus, tree bark and the odor lingers long after I’ve extinguished it. I keep it on my night stand and burn it while I’m reading. When I extinguish it, I drift off to sleep dreaming of an elderly wizard working in his shop. Love it. ❤️
Summer W.
This is the BEST smelling candle I have ever had. I quit using toxic chemicals in my home, and anything with "fragrance" in it causes me a horrible headache. These candles do not do that and I am so glad because I love to burn candles. I am definitely a returning customer, I have already ordered both of the sample packs.. Get these candles, you won't be sorry.
Tamara C.
Wasn’t sure what it would actually smell like but opened it up and took a whiff and it was heavenly. I will definitely be purchasing others. And, what I love about this company is that it is in my state so I feel extra good that I am supporting a local merchant.
Elizabeth E.
I love both these candles I bought. They both smell fantastic and I LOVE how the packaging was like an old time map. They even came with a quest journal and dialogue options similar to Skyrim. I am a huge fantasy lover and these candles came with a lot of charm and love!
Justine B.
Beautiful candle. Burns exquisitely. Gorgeous packaging and brand provenance. Bought two, one as a gift and one for myself, and I’m glad I did. Will purchase from you again.
Robyn Helms B.
Truly the most fragrant of candles I've ever sniffed.
Keri J.
I absolutely love this candle, from the packaging to the scent, to the sound of the wooden wick. I'm excited to try my other one!! I will definitely be ordering more on a ridiculously obsessive level!!
Corrine L.
This candle is truly a portal to a magical place! From the minute it arrived, it has become my own personal window to a happy and exciting world. Listening to the snap and crackle of the wooden wick, and the unique fragrance floating around the room make me feel as if I'm about to start an adventure.
Jennie R.
Love! Love! Love! this candle. I purchased The Alchemist because of my love for Sandlewood and Patchouli.
What I absolutely love is that it smells so good but it’s not overpowering.
Beverly D.
So far, The Alchemist is my first Mythologie candle love. It smells exactly as described and wraps me in the memory of how much I love to smell a good men's cologne but also adds the delight of transporting me to my memories of the different smells of the spring of summer woods I used to love exploring as a teenager, especially pleasant with a boyfriend too. Perfect lifting scent that makes my home office inviting and fills my day with happiness.
Tonda S.
This candle is wonderful, love the dark glass vessel !!!
Gloria H.
I love my candels!!!!!! They smell fabulous!!!!!!!!!
kelly d.
Such a delicious smell!!
Catherine J.
Happily intrigued by this mysterious scent! It's complex yet wonderful...reminds me of working in a cozy potion room! I'm very glad it's still available for purchase!
SHARI H.
I recently received my first two candles as I wanted to try these out...I got the Alchemist and Brees Spice Market....I tried the Alchemist first...unbelievable throw through my little house with a fabulous aroma... in fact I burned it two days in a row for many hours and even after the candle had hardly gone down at all. These will last a long time!!!! Brees Spice is delicious but I didn't find as strong as Alchemist...but lovely non the less. Very impressed with these. The little popping sounds from the burning wood wick is cool too.
Also thanks for your vid on the wick and using a nail clipper to trim as needed...I found out scissors do not work!!
Thomas
I got this as a gift and I love it! Usually candles make my allergies act up, but not this one! And the scent is absolutely beautiful! Highly reccomend!
Georgette W.
The Alchemist is one of three candles in my first order from Mythologies Candles. I absolutely love the aroma of this candle. Can’t wait to try the other two. Thank you Leah for creating this beautiful candle.
Katrina G.
I was so excited to receive The Alchemist and it did not disappoint! It smells warm and comforting (sandalwood and amber are two of my favorite scents) and with the crackling wood wick, you can close your eyes and use your imagination! It’s obvious the ingredients are high quality, and the packaging is beautiful! I know I’ll order this candle again along with more from the vast selection!
anne c.
Nice packaging. Like the scent, but it could be bumped up a notch. Not too much, though.
Alice C.
This is a lovely candle that made me feel like an explorer in a distant land where the wind carries spices, and subtle flowers, woods and hints of lemons. I just love how this made the house smell. It's my favorite so far but there are more I'm trying soon-I'm pretty positive I'll like all of them and being my favorite will be solely based on the daydreams I'm wanting to bring to life at the moment.
Ami C.
This candle is absolutely beautiful! It came packaged carefully, smells exactly as described with light scents of patchouli, sandalwood, and cinnamon (my favorites), and burns so cleanly. I could not be happier and will be placing another order within the week.
Kala S.
I originally was going to get my Fiancé the sample pack of the lord of the rings themed candles. Jerk beat me to it though & bought them himself! He gave me the double breakfast one though which I loved. I then decided to get the alchemist candle instead for him which he insisted he wanted. I love the stories that are sent out with these candles and the fact that I’m supporting a small business. Keep doing the magical work you all do at “MythologieCandles “and thank you!
James M.
The candle smells awesome and the woodwick makes an enjoyable crackling sound.
Barbara B.
Nice scent but much to expensive for 4 oz. candle. Won’t purchase again.
Leann G.
Absolutely Love the candle!!! My favorite by far...also enjoyed your home photos....show me more
Keith B.
I have never been so lovingly treated after purchasing a company's product than I have, by Leah of Mythology Candles! I bought the Alchemist candle a little while ago, and had it sent to my daughter in a different state. She had mentioned it as a possible Christmas gift and I just knew she was dying to own one. Since then the astoundingly personal service of Mythology Candles has kept me informed about my order, the shipment, and the arrival of my gift (specially marked to be saved for Christmas). Her two little kids are going to be amazed at the aroma, and will probably tell me about it next time we get together (which won't be soon). For all I know, her husband's wishes also played a part in this gift. I'll make a point of asking him after the holidays.
Trudy H.
I am in love with the fragrances of the candles. The hard part is choosing between them.
Christopher C.
One of the two I like to light, when I am preparing material for my next D&D session. It's not the strongest, but u definitely notice it in the background after burning for a bit.
Wendy D.
Just got my candles yesterday and burning, The Alchemist tonight. This is what I've been looking for and cannot find! Thank you so much! Ordering a couple more of the Autumn group before they are gone.
LINDA C.
Yum!
It's aroma is soothing, and uncomplicated. very relaxing
Thank you
Ellen C.
My candle certainly didn't disappoint! You really do drift away on the scent!
Hannah B.
I was given this a given this as a gift from a friend, and I absolutely love the scent of "The Alchemist*
Tessa R.
These are the best candles I've found! Mythologie is now my number source for home ambiance.
Josie R.
I absolutely love it. The scent really fits the name perfectly. It burns very nicely as well, always a plus.
Kim D.
I'm new to Mythologie, when I read the description for The Alchemist, I had to try it. The shipping was really timely and the packaging great. I was saving the candle for Halloween and the Day of the Dead celebrations, and it was really perfect! I love the scent and it burns beautifully. It created the perfect atmosphere!
I am so happy with this purchase, I can't wait to try other "adventures".
Jennifer W.
This candle smells EXACTLY like a herbal sachet I got the first year I went to a Renaissance Festival over 30 years ago. That sachet faded over time, and I am so delighted to find a candle I can order again and again. Thank you Leah for transporting me back to one of my most magical memories. YOU are a true Alchemist!
Mary D.
I’ve come home every night this week, dimmed the lights and lit my candle. It gives such a cozy feel to the room. Immediately calming! Thank you!
Theresa R.
Love it. I only get large candles now, no matter what the smells are, I'll love it! I'd love one with citrus or honeysuckle!
Carol Z.
I purchased the Alchemist candle and not only do I love the scent, but I think the wood wick and artwork on the label make it the coolest candle I have ever seen. Leah, you are just so creative!
The scent is very subtle and not overpowering at all and when I burn it while I am working, I feel like it just creates a sort of ambiance in the room.
Love it! And will definitely purchase more of your candles!
Joan T.
Love the look and how the candle smells. I know the products that are used on these candles are high quality. But I can’t buy anymore because the candles are small for the money I paid. Again I know the ingredients are expensive and I love the candles but this is my one and only I’ll be buying.
Nora M.
Love all the scents!!!Love Tudor House Library,Double Breakfast,&Blood Moon Sky the best.
Chad S.
The scent of this candle is amazing. Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. My favorite part is the wooden quick that cheerily crackles as it burns. It's like magic how it is converted in flame but never burns away. Well done, I'm a fan.
Kelly V.
This candle is an experience. Upon first smell before lighting it smells strongly of cinnamon. Alas when lit the candle carries more of a combination of scents containing clove and patchouli.
Lance L.
This is cinnamon - but not the cinnamon that assaults your nose when you walk into a lame, pro-life, suburban, mega-chain craft store between October 1st and January 5th. This cinnamon is very carefully balanced with leather and earth. It’s dark and mysterious; it also has a distinct green + dirt note. It is rich, it is complex - I hate cinnamon... but I love this candle.
Taylor C.
I love the smell of this candle! This reminds me of decorating the home for Halloween while a fun movie played on the TV.
Michaela D.
I love lighting up the Alchemist candle in the early evenings and relaxing as spicy earth aroma fills my little room.
Debra A.
I haven't found one that I don't love. They have an out of the ordinary scent that is wonderful!
Cameron K.
The smell sets the mood! The scents are earthy and spicy which is exactly what want to sniff! I love Skyrim and Lord of the Rings, so these themed candles bring me so much joy! Definitely going to purchase another candle soon! Or two ;)
Nancy W.
I ordered 6 candles to get me through chemotherapy for Breast Cancer. When I saw The Alchemist, I thought it was made just for me! When it came I grabbed it as we get in the car heading to the hospital for tests. My sister loved it as much as I did, I told her to keep it and I would order more! And now they are sold out! You better get that Alchemist to work making more straight away! It was the best scent yet!
Lynn J.
The Alchemist is a magical laboratory of scents that fill the air with Autumnal wonders. For lovers of patchouli, this will not disappoint. This candle is sweet with overtones of spice and resin, a little earthy, and reminds me of coming home to a holiday hearth fire after walking in the woods on a clear frosty night full of stars and moonlight. In fact, I find this scent to be incredibly calming. I felt my whole body unexpectedly relaxing as I was writing at my desk. I actually stopped for a few moments just to close my eyes and take in the smell. The wax melts beautifully and evenly. The wick does indeed crackle like a hearth log. Thanks to all the amazing elves who have fulfilled all of our orders with care and perfection!
Tonda S.
The Alchemist's story is wonderful but the candle is fantastic! The smoky earthy cinnamon smell is the best smell!! I LOVE it!! Thank you Leah and Team!!!
Amber L.
THANK-YOU !!! I absolutely loved the candle ( The Alchemist . )
Had an amazing fragrance , beautiful .
Katie T.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect scentwise when I ordered this candle. I was unable to imagine, from the description, what it would smell like. However, I fell in love with it after I read the story, and I knew that I had to have it. I was not disappointed when it arrived! It has a gentle, warm, and smokey cinnamon scent that is perfect for the Autumn season. It makes my home feel so magical and cozy!
John H.
I keep thinking that one of these times I'm going to order a candle and not really like the way it smells, well not today! Absolutely love my Alchemist! just the thing needed to make the wildfire smell go away for a while-
Elizabeth F.
Oh, man. This candle is amazing! I am absolutely obsessed with the smell. So smokey and magical.
Eric S.
10/10 would use to transmute lead to gold again!
