I can hear them!

Beautiful soft scent. Perfect for a rainy day or foggy night

Always love the products

I love the candle I got in the crate, and I always love the wax melts so much! And not for nothing, but the matches I get from The Smell of Fear are the best matches I've ever used.

We LOVE The Smell of Fear!

TSOF is one of the best small businesses around! It’s creative, smells incredible, and worth every single cent— honestly, this is the only place I’ll get my fun car diffusers from!

On a train

I can't pick out the scents of cherry blossoms, jasmine or citrus, but it smells as if I would be on a train in the good old days. I like the scent.

The Haunt is a mysterious and evocative scent - perfect to get one in the mood for some frights!

Terrifier

This candle smells amazing! As does all of the candles I have purchased from The Smell of Fear!

Can’t wait to give daughter at Xmas!

Lovely fruit forward scent.

In a world of Earthy scents this time of year, it's nice to find something for us fruit-centered folk. Perfect for election season. Thanks, Jillian <3

I love the scent, and that it's not overwoverwhelming. I also like that it is small and discrete in my car.

This was a Birthday gift for my brother & it actually arrived the day of. He loves the smell!

Smells just like a night at the movies, hot buttered popcorn from the concession stand.

I bought this candle for my partner, who is a huge fan of The Thing, and he absolutely loved it so much that I just had to get him another one as soon as they became available again!

Phenomenal!

The scent is very pleasant. Not at all overpowering in the confined space of my car. I will definitely be buying more of these to hang around the house and put in my partner's car. Also would make a great gift!

Marvelous!

Perfect for a friend that loves the spooky.

Perfect gift

Smells wonderful!

Great candles and surprises!

Absolutely love this candle!

Smells Amazing!

I ordered the 'How to Sell a Haunted House' candle to go with the book of the same name (by one of my favorite authors) and loved it. Will definitely be ordering more scents in the future! Hoping to see more collaborations with authors too!
