Southern California

I was born and raised right in the middle of South Carolina, so when I bought one of these during our terrible “shutdown year” of 2020 I just loved the scent. It really did remind me of some of the scents of home and it smelled a bit flowery without seeming too feminine for me (I usually prefer masculine scents).In other words they did a good job with all of the Notes (different kinds of smells in it).I also sent one of these as a gift to a girl friend in Seattle and she was really pleased with it.So there are really only two issues with this candle: it’s not large, and so it only has space for a single wick.But it did “throw” the scent pretty well and burned evenly all the way down to the bottom.The other issue is the price — at nearly $40 they aren’t cheap! But I don’t regret having purchased it and as a matter of fact I think I’m going to buy another one someday, and I’d also like to try to make my own version of it just for fun.Since I got this one from Homesick I’ve also bought a bunch of different kinds of candles from Goose Creek and Tuscany for about $10 to $15 apiece. Most of Goose Creek candles are very good and the shipping speed from Kentucky to LA was OK but slow compared to Amazon Prime. Most all of the Tuscany brand are mediocre in my opinion, but some are pretty good. None of them smelled like South Carolina though :-)

I love these candles. They are my go-to for gifts. The smell is fantastic, the wick/burn is long-lasting, and they make a lovely, personalized present.

This was a going away gift for a family member, when they opened it, they really said it smelled like Michigan!!!

Love this candle

I liked the entire theme of the homesick candle and is a great thoughtful present for whoever it may be. However I purchased the Iowa candle and it was great except the smell or scent of the candle was not something reminiscent of Iowa and the smell possibly soybeans was not one I’d want in my house.P.S the Georgia candle was great though so I it comes down to the individual candle just wasn’t a fan

This was purchased as a Hostess gift for a friend's mother that was kind enough to let my daughter stay in her house while my daughter attended a wedding. She absolutely loved it!! She loved the scent and said it was very thoughtful. I would definitely buy this again. I know people like to give candles, but this one is a little more "personal." Highly recommend.

My 3rd purchase of the same candle. Love it!

I could smell the candle as soon as I opened the box. It was like heaven.

Very pricey, but so worth it! Smells just like Hawaii and burns for hours and hours!

I bought as a gift for a family member who used to go to school in Michigan. His daughter now lives there and they miss her. So the gift was for his memories of Michigan and to remind them of their daughter. I asked them if it smelled of michigan and they said YESSS.

I ordered the Homesick Hawaii but I believe I received either a factory second or not the genuine article. The wax was very yellow, not white, and it was mottled, blotchy, and full of small fibres. The sides showed what looked like large oily patches, as if it wasn't blended properly. Amazon customer service was great, as usual, and I returned the item. Scent was mild but pleasant.
