What customers say
Customers consistently praise the Alaska Candle for its exceptional ability to evoke a specific sense of place, making it a powerful tool for comfort and nostalgia. The scent profile, often described as crisp spruce and cool air, is highly authentic and not overly perfumed. Reviewers frequently highlight the superior quality, noting the clean, long lasting burn and excellent scent throw that fills a room effectively. While the price point is higher, consumers feel the unique experience and premium construction justify the investment, confirming its strong value proposition.
Know before you buy
It features a woody and fresh profile that balances earthy elements with crisp, cool notes. You will primarily detect spruce, cedar, and moss, rounded out by lighter, invigorating hints of peppermint, spearmint, and glacial water.
It is a blend of both. While the spruce and cedar provide a classic pine foundation, the addition of peppermint and glacier water notes gives it a sharper, cleaner finish rather than a purely resinous or heavy wood scent.
No, the Alaska candle does not include a lid. You may want to keep this in mind if you prefer to cover your candles when they are not in use to prevent dust buildup.
While the name and cooling notes evoke a winter landscape, the woody base of amber and musk makes it versatile enough for any season. It is a great choice if you enjoy fresh, outdoorsy scents that aren't overly floral or sweet.
Every Homesick candle is proudly crafted in the USA.
