This is the only place I buy my candles! The have the best scents (my favorites are Dream, Cedar & Balsam, Pumpkin Spice) and a wonderful product. The candles scent my entire house, and the wooden wicks' sounds are so relaxing. The customer service is great too. I'm using their website to purchase these days, but I also enjoy both of their storefront locations. read more

The best smelling candles ever! No overwhelming cheap smells that'll leave you with a headache and annoyed! Downtown candle company gets it right! When you walk into the store, you're greeted with pleasant, helpful folks and heavenly smells! Be sure to smell the candle lids and not the actual candle lol! Also after sniffing a few, clear your smell sense with the coffee so you're ready for a new round of sniffs! These candles will add character to your home and also make great gifts! I needed to do gifts for a baby shower and wondered if customized candles were available...to my surprise the answer was YES! They did such a great job and the candles were a hit gift! Go to place for candles! No matter where you are in the US, shipping is available! Enjoy! read more

I Downtown Candle Company! They have unique scents. I love that their candles have wood wicks, which burn for longer time. The ambiance of the boutique is inviting too! The staff is very friendly and helpful when you're trying to decide on scents to buy. They also have a VIP membership package which is cool especially if you love candles (like I do). I'll definitely return again. Do something special for yourself and journey downtown to Downtown Candle Company! read more

What a cool candle shop! The scents are out of this world and are organized by types (sweet, clean, etc.). I wandered in while walking down South Main and was thrilled by the experience. The owner greeted us and explained how to experience each scent. I went through the store to smell each candle and was so overwhelmed that I couldn't make up my mind. I'll save my last star for the next visit when I make a purchase. :) read more

This is a great little local candle shop. The smells are great, and they have a great variety of flavors. The staff is super friendly and helpful. The wicks are a different shape than normal. They are made of wood (I think). They are thin but about a centimeter long. They also have tarts and soaps. Go there and buy a candle! read more

I know there are a many places to buy candles from these days, however none surpass the experience of "Downtown Candle Memphis" the variety is amazing and unique even the most popular scents that are sold other places i.e. Linen etc have their own distinct scent. My favorite scents are Crown & Extreme but then he will throw something new in the mix which makes it hard to choose. Forever a customer and they make great gifts! read more

Reasons to get your gift/ candle from here. #1 The quality of their product is excellent. You are absolutely getting what you pay for. Why waste your time shopping for the " perfect" gift, when this is in fact the prefect gift? The candle burns for a long time and the packaging is unique. #2 The reputation of being a luxury candle has a nice ring to it. I am sorry but you can't give a non-luxury candle as a gift for a baby shower, wedding, birthday, or major celebratory event. Just save yourself the time and buy luxury. #3 Professional staff and owner. What's that you say? You can purchase a high quality, luxury candle and the owner and staff, rock? Yes, yes, and yes. #4 My dad loves these candles, my sister, my best friend, and my co-workers adore these candles. These candles speak to everyone. There is a candle for all kinds of people here. #allcandlesmatter here. Seriously, this shop rocks out some amazing candles. Love them. read more

Guess what? They sell candles. Yeah, like amazing candles! I was having meal downtown before heading to the Forum to catch a basketball game when I noticed a brand new storefront on GE Patterson. I was surprised that the store was still open. I didn't have clue what they were selling but the open door and dim lighting drew me in like a moth to a light bulb. But it wasn't light bulbs they were selling.... it was candles. Apparently the candles are made downtown and they come in one size, one color, but about 50 fragrance choices. Seriously, I don't know how many... but it's a lot. The are simple yet beautiful at the same time with white wax and wooden wicks in a clear glass container. The selection is arranged in the store by fragrance groups. All the clean scents are together, the floral, the gourmet... you get the idea. It makes it really easy to find what you are looking for. I wasn't looking for anything that day, but I HAD to have a lemongrass candle. I love this candle. It makes my whole house smell fresh and wonderful. And as I sit here writing this and enjoying my candle, I can here a gentle crackle from the wood wick. Nice. read more

OMG! This place is fantastic. I had it on my list to stop by but had not made time to do so. Even one of my colleagues told me that I would fall in love upon entering. My friend and I made time yesterday after eating at Scoops :). The place is inviting, the service is wonderful, and candles are fantastic. It was an experience just going around smelling the glass domes. I limited myself to one candle because I just recently stocked up Scentsy, oils, and Yankee Candles. What can I say, I'm a sucker for smell goods. I bought the Baja's Berry---mmm mmm, smells divinely fruity. Oh and I bought the sandalwood melts for the boyfriend's warmer. I can't remember what my friend bought but I will be sure to ask at our next outing. read more

I love this place! Once or twice a year, I go in and stock up on candles. The candles here are wood wicked and reasonably priced in comparison to similar candles at Yankee Candle or some other more commercial location. The great thing about DCC is that they are a small, locally owned business. If you're all about supporting local small business, this is the place to go. Its in the South Main Arts district and they make candle shopping so much fun! read more

The Downtown Candle Company is extremely clean and chic! If you are a candle lover, this place will make you a fanatic. Terrance is the owner and he is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to what scents work well with specific odors. It was truly a GREAT experience! This is now my new candle shop! I highly recommend you stop by and grab you a candle and meet Terrance. read more

The guys that run this shop are awesome. It's very well done and the candles smell amazing. We noticed it when we were walking around downtown. The candles have wooden wicks, but it comes with instructions on how to light them. They smell better than Yankee Candle and are a lot more reasonably priced! read more

Absolutely the best candles! The fragrances are amazing and the presentation is posh. Will never purchase another candle if it's not from Downtown Candle Co read more

We bought candles from this place 2 years ago. We didn't burn them until just about a month ago because we are from Chicago and liked them too much to start the slow process of saying goodbye. 2 years later and the fragrance is still strong. They smell amazing. read more

This place is great! I bought my first candle and an acne bar. I can't wait to get back to DC and burn the candle in my crib. I bought Passion. It was so hard to choose. Everything smelled amazing! read more

After having lunch my friend and I walked over to take a peak. The moment you open that door, you are invited by smells from around the globe. The service was amazing and I love my candles. I can't wait to come back to gather a few for my anniversary!!!!! read more
