"I love my candle. I grew up in west Texas and this captures the smell of rain. It was packaged well with no plastic use. And I really like the cork lid. I also appreciate that you let people pay what they feel like they can afford. Nice way to help people!"
"Just enough for a slight rain smell in the desert."
"I’ve never smelled the desert before, so I wouldn’t know honestly. But I sure love the smell!"
"I wasn't exactly sure what this was going to smell like based on his description. But when I got the sampler pack I knew I had to have it. I have melted these so often that I had to put my last little bit away out of sight until I can order some more. This smell brings me to a place that I really needed."
"if I could above this candle up my nose and smell it forever, I would."
"The fragrance is incredible. Smells exactly like the sample card I got a while back. Can’t wait to purchase more wax melts in the future!"
Crazy Impressive!
"The Creosote makes my house smell like walking into Boot Barn... if you know the place you know the smell... it's amazing and I could not be happier!"
Best smell on the market
"I live in Phoenix AZ and this smell EXACTLY like a rainy day! If you’re from the desert and miss the smell of a rainy day buy this candle!"
"It smells earthy and airy, so unique, and even when it’s not lit, it smells wonderful. Not too strong, either. I keep it in the bathroom so when I shower the fragrance fills the room. It makes the space feel luxurious. This and the petrichor are exactly what I want from candles—different from mass produced candles, great quality, and a good balanced fragrance."
"Smells sooooo good"
"Never thought I'd find this smell sold on the market. Smells like New Mexico when it rains. Beautiful creosote!"
Like Home
"I can’t express how much I love this candle. The moment I lit it, I was transported straight to the desert after a summer rain—the earthy, slightly sweet scent of creosote mixing with hints of pine, sandalwood, and petrichor. It’s not just a smell; it’s a feeling. I grew up in the Southwest, and this candle brought back memories I didn’t even know I’d forgotten—walking through the desert with the smell of rain lingering in the air, the warmth of the sun still radiating off the rocks. It’s..."
True Sonoran Monsoon
"My wife and I were lamenting recently that since moving away from Arizona, rain just isn't the same. This candle really does capture the smell of a Sonoran monsoon. That part of the storm after the wind wall has passed, it is 20 degrees cooler, and it is still sprinkling. Really lovely candle!"
"Love the product"
Best candle!
"I think Alatreyu offers the best candles with the best fragrances for the best price! I’ve been looking for a good rainy day scent and Cresote more than delivers. Thanks so much!"
"I never write reviews. This candle however, requires it. I’ve always said my favorite smell is wet dirt being from the desert, it’s a very specific scent. This candle is that smell. Its not overpowering. It’s perfect."
LOVE
"So hard to buy candles online but this is it! This smells like the monsoons in the Sonoran Desert where I grew up!!"
"Saur good not exactly like the creosote bush in Vegas but def giving rain, like you can’t give bush and cunt at the same time"
Reminds me of home
"I'm originally from NM and miss the smell of the desert Southwest-- this candle reminds me of being home, and I have it burning in my office with the Rain on Pavement for an almost desert-city rain scent. LOVE! I will definitely be buying more as gifts for myself and others."
