Style:Oregon Product Description There’s a feeling that exists within every state, small town or city – an energy all its own. The smell of the air, the sounds of the morning and the memories that reside there can fill us with nostalgia when we return or rifle through mementos. These places exist in our memories, and though life often relocates us, the sentiment for our experience there remains.

NC SMELL IS HORRENDOUS.
Man, I should've listened to the other reviews here on the NC smell. It's HORRIBLE. It smells like a hippie threw up some bbq while smoking a black and mild. I had to wash my hand because the candle smell was on my fingers and it was giving me a headache. $30 waste!!!!! WHO over there honestly smells it and says YES, perfect! ??? Serious question.

The smell made my Texan boyfriend cry
I got this as a surprise for my boyfriend. He moved to my state from Texas for college. I wasn't sure about how it would smell but I figured even if he wasn't a fan it would be neat as a decoration for his room. When I surprised him with the candle and he smelled it, he actually got very emotional and started crying because he said the smell instantly brought back so many memories of home. I don't know how they did it, but Homesick Candles managed to replicate the smell of home so well in this candle that it took my boyfriend back home immediately. Definitely worth my money:)

Size matters....
Upon looking at the stock photos, there is a photo of the size next to lemons, that being said, it still doesn’t really do justice for how small this candle really is. I’d heard great things about Homesick and decided to splurge and try it out. The scent is on point, it truly is fantastic, but I was sincerely hoping I would be getting something that would last longer for almost $30.

Spent 27 years in Southern California, currently living in central Illinois and this definitely reminds me of home.

Way better than I expected
I didn't think they could capture the smell of Florida. I only bought it because I had a gift card and was curious. I honestly thought I would get a candle that smelled like Orange Juice or something along those lines. But the candle is so much more complex. Yes, there is a definite hint of citrus, but it also has a woodsy, musky scent. It smells like sitting on your porch on a muggy summer night. It reminds me of fall camping trips, and long drives. One star because it doesn't create much of a smell when burned. I can't wait to try some other scents.

Smells like an old person
Based on the scent description, I was expecting something fresh and not like an old person, but that's what I get for ordering the Nebraska candle. The smell is strong without being lit and it's good quality. Bit smaller than I expected for the price (usually I spend this much on a YC). I'm not crazy about it but don't want to go through the hassle of returning it. Just okay. Wonder if the other smells are any better, but I probably won't throw down the $30 to find out .

Reminder of Home
These scents are powerful! It was a gift for my daughters teacher. We are stationed in Germany, and the kids go to a DODEA school, so all their teachers originally come from the states as well. My daughter's teacher taught her 4th grade class all about Louisiana and New Orleans and emphasized all year how much she loves it there, so I thought this would be the perfect gift for her. The candle comes packages well (no shipping injuries) and it is large and worth the price. The teachers said that the scent definitely reminds her of home, and she loved it.

This candle smells beautiful! It smells like springtime in Missouri
This candle smells beautiful! It smells like springtime in Missouri. Just like the flowering trees that we had in my backyard when I was growing up. My father just passed away and this is just what I needed to remind me of home now that I live thousands of miles away. <3

This product is labelled incorrectly, it is not a Virginia candle.
Despite being labeled a Virginia candle, it is actually a North Dakota candle. I was hoping the picture was just an example of a state candle, but I sent it to my friend overseas and she said she received a North Dakota candle. It was too much a hassle to have her return a gift that was supposed to be a nice surprise, so now she will have to think of Virginia while lighting this North Dakota candle.

Constantly receiving wrong item!
Twice I have ordered the North Carolina candle, twice I have received Mississippi, despite my order confirming I have selected the correct one! Seems to be something wrong with the system. I have given two stars, and would give more as the Mississippi candle seems quite nice, however it's just not the state I wanted.

Wonderful ! Surely some ponderosa pine in there as well ! Would be nice to be able to have in a free standing form for large candle holders
