Been purchasing these candles for a few years now, nothing comes close to the depth of fragrance and quality of the products. The candles are such that they last for weeks and burn so well they last.... See more

I love scented candles and these are by far the best. The scent blends are beautiful and unusual and their perfume lasts long after the candle is extinguished. I would like to mention a favourite,... See more

Quick response and lovely fragrance candles
Quick response to my order and then kindly delivered to my house as I was worried about collecting due to icy conditions. Loved the fragrance of both candles ordered.

Amazing products and customer experience. The fragrances are so gorgeous. I purchased some reed diffusers as gifts, I think I might just keep them for myself!

Amazing scents; perfect gift for yourself or loved ones!
These candles are the perfect gift for loved ones, and yourself! I am a repeat buyer and have just bought a further 12 candles for Christmas presents. John is wonderful to buy from, amazing customer service, fast delivery, environmentally conscious and they smell every bit as good as any of the big name candles that have been around for years. Oh Christmas Tree is by far the most outstanding Christmas smell I have ever found, just wonderful. Thank you John!

Cannot recommend highly enough!
I love John's candles and diffusers - I have a diffuser in my design studio and customers always comment on how lovely it smells. It lasts for ages and is much higher quality than high street mass produced diffusers. I ordered a diffuser and candle in his new Autumn scent and it is lovely. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Amazing smelling candles & diffusers
I have purchased a number of different fragranced Candles & Reed diffusers from The Ampthill Alchemist.
Every single one has smelt absolutely amazing filling the room with their unique, gorgeous aroma. The candles burn for hours and are not at all ‘smoky’ which I’ve found with different brands.
The candles & reed diffusers look stylish & elegant, John also offers a personalised label option if required, which is a lovely personal touch for gifts. I always have excellent communication from him and can’t recommend enough- Thank you John!

The candles from The Ampthill Alchemist…
The candles from The Ampthill Alchemist are truly divine. I have tried several different scents and they are all uniquely fabulous. I am currently burning Evening Retreat in the garden which keeps the midges away.
I love the ethnically nature of the company and the first class service. Highly recommend.
