Loved the previous diffuser fragrances so ordered two different ones-Frangipani and Sanctuary. Also bought the Flower with cotton wick instead of using diffuser sticks. It is very pretty.

Quick delivery of order

Quick delivery of order, with Scent samples for their diffuser range. The scents are lovely. I will be placing an order for them.

Great scent but hasn't lasted long

Love the fragrance and packaging and customer service is great - my only negative would be that the diffuser I purchased is nearly run out already and it's only been 17 days, so at that rate, it will be expensive to keep up. It has been exceptionally hot - so maybe that has an impact.

Hi Mandy. Thanks for your honest review. I'm sure the heatwave has definitely been a factor. They should last at least 2 months in normal conditions. We recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight too but with these conditions everywhere is HOT unfortunately. To stop this happening in future you can wrap the reeds in clingfilm and put the stopper back in until temperatures normalise. We hope you try us again.

Pure scents

These scents are pure ie: no nasties and with plenty to choose from. I love sea breeze and Spa. They are a great Dorset small business and importantly the candles are soy and not wax so there are fewer particles when lit. Easy to order and fast shipment.

Reordering with ease.

I ordered refills for my diffuser (rhubarb & mint). Easily done on their website. Five days later they arrived. All very excellent.

Happy repeat buyer

I first discovered the Compton Candle Company thanks to an Airbnb host who used the company's diffusers. I was hooked on Tomato Leaf and this week I bought the same fragance plus I will experiment with Meadow Green.
The communication with the team has been excellent during the purchase.

What a revelation

What a revelation! I’d been dissatisfied with infusers from other brands. I ordered Rhubarb & Mint, Kitchen & Pet, Tomato Leaf and Aquamarine to layer scents throughout my home. The fragrances gently envelop rather than overwhelm the moment I walk through the door. I’ll definitely be back for more.

I first bought these candles at a market and absolutely love them. The scents are beautiful and they make the whole room smell nice even when they aren’t lit- had to buy more online!

Easy to order and prompt delivery.
I particularly love the rhubarb and mint fragrance, so that was a known purchase. I also ordered the sea breeze which is perfect for the cloakroom.

Great diffusers at a reasonable price

I first became aware of this company when I bought some diffusers from their stall at a Christmas market. This was an order that I subsequently placed online. They arrived promptly and were well, and sustainably, packaged. The diffusers smell great, throw their fragrance really well and are a reasonable price. Very happy with product and service from start to finish.
