What Makes It Uncommon

On the Scent

For a lucky few who live close to a national park, nature's fragrance is just a stone's throw away. But for those of us not so fortunate, thankfully there are Megan McLaughlin’s scented candles. Each of these hand-poured soy pieces is inspired by a national park, evoking an aromatic profile reminiscent of that park’s unique atmosphere.

Wick will not stay lit

I recently purchased two candles, Everglades and Rocky Mountain National Parks. I lit Rocky Mountain and I must say the fragrance is lovely. However, the wick does not stay lit and the flame repeatedly goes out. I had thought I might buy a couple more of these candles, but the wick problem is a dealbreaker for me. Consequently, I cannot recommend the candles to others.

Response from merchant

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the fragrance of the Rocky Mountain candle, but I’m very sorry to hear about the issues with the wick not staying lit. I completely understand how frustrating that can be, especially when it affects your ability to enjoy the candle. We receive a lot of positive feedback and have seen very few issues; this should not be the regular experience. Thank you again for your feedback.

It was perfect!

I needed a gift for my brother who is impossible to shop for. I came across these candles and asked him if he had a favorite National Park. He said Teton. When he opened the candle, he was pleasantly surprised and genuinely appreciated it. He likes the way it smells and really likes the 'paint can' container. I would definitely buy it and recommend it :)

Smells refreshing

Candle smells just great- delivered fast- overall size was much smaller than I had expected. Kinda pricey for its size.

Best scents!

I love the scents of these candles, especially Zion! They are not too strong and not too light. My only complaint is the wick struggles to stay lit.

Label melted off

I received Arches for Christmas. It smells amazing! But as it burned, the outside label started to melt off. This was such a disappointment because I was hoping to keep the tin after the candle burned out. It was also dangerous.

Response from merchant

Thank you for your review letting us know of the problem. We’d like to send a replacement; we’re reaching out to get started!

Perfect Gift for a Hiker

I gave this as a gift for my friend who likes to hike. I thought it would be a nice addition to her home. It was a nice cozy addition to her home in Flagstaff.

Are these candles actually from Good and Well Supply Co? I have bought their candles many times and love them, but they are usually more expensive. Or are these repurposed containers from Good and Well supply with your own candle mixture poured in? Thanks.

Verified reply from Michelle

Hi! These candles are made by Pacific Northwest-based maker Megan McLaughlin who used her own travels as inspiration for her handmade goods.
