I love nice-smelling things. I mean, who doesn’t? Candles, wax warmers, perfume, fresh laundry, bakery scents. Aromatherapy is simply wonderful.

That’s why I’m so excited to share this candle review today from a wonderful independent small business. Tyler Aromatherapy is a vegan and cruelty-free wellness brand. The product range includes soy wax candles, reed diffusers, body oils, bath salts, and uplifting self-care prints. The packaging is eco-friendly, recyclable, and sustainable.

I was really excited to support a small business that’s all about uplifting your mood, unwinding, and recharging, backed by a strong ethos. In this review, I share my honest experience with the Tyler Aromatherapy Refillable Coffee Cup Candles, including how well the candles burn, how long they last, how easy they are to refill, and, most importantly, how nice they smell!

About the Tyler Aromatherapy Refillable Coffee Cup Candles

The Tyler Aromatherapy Refillable Coffee Cup Candles are designed to fill your room with delightful, mood-enhancing aromas. Each candle comes in a beautiful stoneware coffee tumbler that’s been reimagined as a vessel for a candle. Instead of throwing out the candle and the jar once it’s finished, you can simply pop in a candle refill from Tyler Aromatherapy, which slots in perfectly with the coffee cups.

There are loads of sensational scents to choose from, such as Sticky Ginger Chai, which has warming notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and ginger; Nordic Spruce, which features a blend of Douglas fir, juniper, and cypress essential oils; and Champagne, which is a herby and citrusy scent with juniper, lavender, and lemon essential oils.

The candles cost between £28-£29, and the refills cost between £16-£17. They have a 200ml capacity.

How to refill the candles

Refilling the Tyler Aromatherapy Refillable Coffee Cup Candles couldn’t be easier! Just follow the simple steps below:

  1. Stand the empty coffee cup in a bowl of boiling water.
  2. Wait 1-2 minutes for the residue to melt.
  3. Scoop out the melted residue using a spoon. The wick should lift off easily too.
  4. Wash the coffee cup out with warm soapy water, and place the refill in.

Honest Tyler Aromatherapy review

I think the Tyler Aromatherapy Refillable Coffee Cup Candles are fantastic.

I’ve tried 3 different scents: Tonka, which is a sensual fragrance with notes of vanilla absolute, labdanum, orange blossom, amyris, and clove; Stollen, which is inspired by the German festive cake with notes of cinnamon, cardamom, orange, and lemon; and SOL, which is an energising blend of tangerine, sweet orange, may chang, and rosewood.

Each of the candles has a unique, identifiable, and different aroma from one another. I’ve tried candles in the past where all the scents are very similar, and it feels pointless switching from one to another. These from Tyler Aromatherapy are distinct, so I can pick a strong scent based on my mood.

I pick Tonka as my evening candle for when I want to unwind, as it’s quite a moody scent; Stollen is my everyday candle, as it’s got a more subtle and subdued scent profile; and SOL (which is my fave) is for when I want an uplifting and energising scent – normally when I start my day at work.

They burn for around 16-20 hours. On the first use, you need to burn the candle for at least 2 hours to ensure it burns evenly and all the way to the outside. Each candle burns evenly, so you’re not left with any patchy, unused wax at the top.

Refilling the candles is a breeze. I followed the simple steps for refilling the candle once I’d finished, and the leftover melted residue came out easily. All you have to do is wash the coffee tumbler and simply pop in a refill. It took me no longer than a few minutes to do this.

Rating: 5 stars

Overall, I love these eco-friendly, vegan, and cruelty-free candles. They’ve got wonderful and strong aromas, which fill the room and evoke a mood. I’d recommend these to anyone who loves candles, as it’s great to support a small, independent business that champions wellness and self-care.
