Absolutely the best candles
Absolutely the best candles, wax melts and reed diffusers I’ve ever purchased. Scents are lovely and my house smells amazing. I won’t buy from anywhere else. 5 stars all round.

Making my choice of trying Derwent…
Making my choice of trying Derwent Candles for the first time was a positive one. I first read about them in the Consett Magazine which I subscribe to and originally being a Northern Lass, I wanted to give my support to a local business.
In most shops, and with top brand makes you can pay extortionate prices for a candle or reeds.
I bought the HALFETTI small candle to try and it was beautiful. Subtle perfume as I don’t like these heavy, heady perfumes.
This certainly is a beautiful product with a wonderful perfume and the smell was like it said ‘A Secret Garden in Full Bloom’ Eve. My husband loved the perfume so I immediately ordered the large candle for my kitchen, having a discount code from my last purchase was a bonus.
The prices are reasonable and supporting local businesses is helping everyone.
The support and service from Caroline is professional and thoughtful.
I ordered a gift box for my daughter-in-law with the reeds and Candle, in the HUGS perfume, it was all beautifully presented in an attractive box
Caroline presented a very thoughtful card to go with the gift which just added that personal touch 🩷. Thank you Caroline 🫶
Delivery Service takes a little longer as they are all hand made so worth the wait.
I would recommend Derwent Candles to use not only for personal use but as gifts for Christmas, ‘Secret Santa’, stocking fillers, birthdays, or just ‘Thinking of You’ or ‘Get Well’ gift but also wedding favors or parties. The list is endless!
A Great Product!

thank you so much for this incredibly kind and thoughtful review — it genuinely made our day! We're so glad the Consett Magazine brought you to us and that the Halfetti lived up to its promise of that secret garden in full bloom. It's such a special fragrance. We hope your husband enjoys the large candle in the kitchen, and that your daughter-in-law loves her Hugs gift box — it was a joy to put together. Thank you for your support of local businesses, and for the wonderful recommendations. We'd love to see you again soon! 🩷

Ordered two candles as presents
Ordered two candles as presents. Prior to ordering, I couldn’t recall what scent of candle I’d ordered previously.
Derwent candles went the extra mile to let me know what it was.
Received my order in quality packing.
Presents well received.
Will continue to buy from Derwent candles.
