I've been a longtime customer of this business. I recently attended their warehouse sale and bought several candles. After getting home, I realized the scents of the candles did not match the labels on the lids. I reached out to ask about a return or exchange from other warehouse sale inventory, but was informed that neither option was available. The company did provide wax melts in the scent I had intended to purchase, which I appreciated. However, I would have preferred the option to exchange the candles themselves. Sharing my experience so others can factor this in when shopping. read more

With Veterans Day here, I couldn't wait to write this review. I love supporting fellow salty veterans and woman owned small businesses. I love everything about this company and made the swap from bath and body works to this company. While the price is a bit higher, I love that you are able to buy refill kits making it eco friendly. Now let's talk about the candles! Not only are they unique, but they smell oh so amazing! I love gifting these for friends to celebrate special occasions or just because they need a little pick me up. My favorite scents are the fall and winter scents. They leave your house smelling clean with that cozy and comfort feeling of relaxation. I always have a sage and sea salt candle and refill because ain't nobody got time for negative energy or bad vibes in their house. Highly recommend shiplap orchard, pumpkin spice latte, sugared cranberry, sugared pine, and Yule scents. For those who are sensitive to smells these are not overwhelming where you get a headache, but strong enough to enjoy them. These candles actually last a long time before having to refill them or swap them out. I also recommend their wax melts as they also last a good amount of burn time. Overall, I would say you get your monies worth. The quality is amazing, scents are great, and the presentation is perfection. You can purchase these products from in store, website, or even amazon! I can't say enough fabulous things about this company and highly recommend checking them out and supporting this veteran business! read more

It's fun to come up with your own saying for the candles. Lots of snappy fun stuff. From tea towels to t shirts.

I normally don't take the time to write reviews, but my experience with Malicious Women Candles was so unbelievably disappointing that I feel obligated to warn other people before they waste their money the way I did. First of all, the candles themselves are awful. They smell cheap, synthetic, and overpowering in the worst way possible. The scents are not warm, relaxing, or enjoyable like you'd expect from a quality candle -- they're harsh and almost nauseating. Some smelled like straight-up chemicals, and others had such a bizarre mix of fragrances that I couldn't leave them lit for more than a few minutes without getting a headache. It felt less like an artisan candle and more like something you'd pick up in a clearance bin at a dollar store. On top of the terrible scents, the burn quality is atrocious. The wicks are inconsistent -- some barely stay lit, while others spark and burn unevenly. The wax pools horribly, leaving big chunks unused around the jar. A candle is supposed to burn clean and smooth, but these sputter, smoke, and waste more wax than they use. For how overpriced they are, the quality doesn't come anywhere close to matching the cost. Then there's the branding and attitude of the company. Their whole "sassy" or "edgy" marketing schtick comes off less like humor and more like mean-spirited bitterness. Instead of being clever or empowering, the labels read as juvenile, tacky, and borderline offensive. It feels like they're trying way too hard to be "different" and "edgy," but the end result is immature and unprofessional. If you want a candle that brings good vibes into your home, this is the exact opposite -- it feels negative, cheap, and gimmicky. To make matters worse, the customer service is equally terrible. Reaching out with issues gets you snarky, dismissive replies, as if they couldn't care less about retaining customers. A company that treats its buyers this poorly doesn't deserve any support, especially when there are so many better candle makers out there who actually stand behind their products. At the end of the day, Malicious Women Candles is nothing more than a company built on loud branding to distract from the fact that their products are low-quality and unpleasant. The scents are horrible, the candles burn terribly, and the entire vibe is negative and unwelcoming. I regret every dollar I spent here, and I will never be purchasing from them again. Save yourself the disappointment -- there are hundreds of candle companies out there that actually make amazing products and treat their customers with respect. Malicious Women Candles is absolutely not one of them read more

Rudeness is not something you should experience from employees or the owner for a business with products for sale. If you dare to criticize them, they think nothing of insulting you and attempting to justify their unprofessional behavior. No apologies. Just doubling down with excuses. There are so many other small businesses that provide superior products and appreciate your money. read more

The candles don't burn even and for a 38 dollar candle is should customer services was rude giving reason what I did wrong..Wow Kroger's candles burn better than these. read more

My favorite place to get wax melts! They lost extremely long and I get so many compliments on how my house smells!

They had me at "Smash the Patriarchy" on the front window. We were greeted by the lovely Candace, who introduced us to the shop-- and also shared some tales of Snohomish's interesting history. read more

Purchased Fruit Loops scented candle. Threw it away after burning for two hours. Zero scent cast - the only way to smell the scent was to lean directly over the candle while it was burning. It didn't even scent the small galley kitchen that it was placed in. Stick with Swan Creek Candle Co if you want melts and candles that fill your home with scent. read more

Love their candles! I didn't personally visit this store. I first came across their candles at a store in Clifton, VA. I purchased the Espresso Yo' Self Candle and immediately fell in love with the scent. Quality ingredients are used in this candle. The whole house smells amazing! Checked out their website and decided to order a few more candles. These make awesome gifts. Once your candle is finished, you can wash the jar and reuse it. It was easy to clean out. I especially love the story behind how this candle company came to be https://maliciouswomenco.com/pages/our-story-new-website. Our order was neatly wrapped and delivered on time. I appreciate the attention to detail in everything this company does! We are fans indeed. read more

I absolutely adore Malicious Women products. Every time I wear a BABs shirt, another woman goes crazy over it and asks where I got it. I've bought so many additional hoodies for friends and my own daughters. The candles are wonderful - the scents aren't overpowering and they burn so cleanly. I order them for various things that my tribe might be experiencing from "Badassery" candles to celebrate promotions to various f-bomb labels to let them know they are seen and heard in whatever crappy situation they might be navigating. Shipping is always quick and the orders are accurate. Great stuff! Thank you all for giving women a malicious voice when we need it! read more

Malicious is my go to for gifts. I love that you can find a label for every occasion.

Love, love, love this place. It's a great place for people who have a sense of humor to go! They offer a "Make your own candle" area where you choose your favorite label and your favorite scent and they will package your candle for you! And if you wear your own Malicious Candle Co merch into the store, you get 10% off! read more

I SO love this company and their products. It's like they crawled inside my brain, pulled out the sarcasm and humor and decided to put them on great smelling candles. I have....10? Of these? And have probably purchased another 20 for gifts for the people in my life that share my sense of humor and thoughts on life. I mostly order online but am lucky enough to live only 10 minutes away so I do go to the store a couple of times a year. The staff (and owner) are awesome and SUPER helpful and I love the fact that they will make custom labels for the candle you want. Just a month ago, I had them make a fall scented candle for a new next-door neighbor that said "Welcome to our street! Hope your neighbors aren't weirdos!" I will never stop buying these candles - this is a great company! read more

i'm 100% supportive of this take-no-shit woman owned business! i've ordered from them online before but i got a wild hair today to do a little road trip and see what an in-person visit to the shop is like. turns out, there's more than what you'll find online and the general instructions of how to pick your scent(s) and then fill out the slip of paper to hand to the employee are pretty straight forward. assuming you're of the same political mindset (and you'll know by reading the posted signs in the front window or looking at the text on some of the black tank tops and t shirts in the back of the store,) you're GONNA LOVE envisioning who in your circle of friends and family is going to appreciate gifts from here. in my case, every-damn-one! there are quite literally dozens of label options which i'm sure make lots of visitors cackle out loud (...and if you find yourself offended, i would suggest you just show yourself out!) the employee working today was gracious enough to let me bring my dog inside while i was making my selections; i asked before entering because i am very sensitive to people just assuming their animals have a right to be everywhere with them. i will most probably continue to order online only because i'm not in the general vicinity of the store but it was a fun one time excursion to visit snohomish town and get to make purchases from these badass women in person! in today's political climate and supreme court decision-making craziness, i say we speak our mind out loud and with candles! enough of the bullshit! read more

The candles burn uneven and the scent is light at the top of the candle and then super strong at the bottom. They don't take pride in customer service and are extremely rude and they encourage bullying on their social media. An actual quote from the owner. "I do what I want and I don't care if you're offended" they don't care about losing a single customer but they'll realize when that single customer adds up each time it happens. The owner also said she doesn't care about the customers she has in Snohomish co. Because she only cares about online orders. What a great part of our community huh?? read more

I was just gifted a series of soaps and candles that are not your typical scents. One was from here. Very clever and funny. I went to the website and checked out their story. It's a lovely story and what a great way to honor a friend. All scents are original. You can even send in your own candle idea names and suggested scents. Maybe they will make it! read more

I found this company through an internet meme talking about how a candle was describing someone's exact mood with sarcasm. I was excited to place an order with them when they had a sale on the web for moving to their new location. My order arrived carefully packaged and fairly quickly - with the packing slip, it had a handwritten hilarious note customized to my name and contents of my order. The friends I gave the candles to really enjoyed receiving them noting that some of the scents were pretty unique and different. For example one of the candles I had ordered was a Fresh Baked Pretzel and it smelled exactly like that! I also ordered a Malicious Women journal as a gift which I now feel is what every person in the world needs at their bedside table to reflect on their day. Excellent company and be warned - some of their candles are controversial, crass, but I absolutely love their sense of humour! Go Malicious Women Candle Company!!! Go!!! read more

My first time in the shop. I found it refreshing to have a shop like this in Snohomish! I finally found a candle that didn't say "BLESSED" and let's face it there's days you just want to say F it!. Love the front window of new friends too. read more

Rdering one or two candles from this company isnt bad. Its when you order hundreds. They come all jumbled up in the boxes and its a nightmare to organize them. I dont find this to be endearing, funny or cute. I find it to be completly disrespectful of peoples time and makes for the most unpleasant shipment days of the week. This company cares not for the establishments they send the candles to or the people that need to unbox and display them. Complete waste of time. read more

Love love love Malicious Women Candle Co.!!!! I was an early fan before there was a storefront and before Lacie & her amazing crew hit it big after being featured on local news programs. Not only do we all need a little snark in our lives, but so many of these candles have uplifting messages and help bring some humor to some less than ideal life situations! It's not my story to tell but read the backstory (https://maliciouswomenco.com/pages/about-us). If it doesn't touch your heart, well...move on! Candles can be purchased in-store or online (at the time of this review shipping is a flat $5). New scents are added seasonally and many favorites stay year-round. It's hard to pick a favorite honestly but let's just say in the several candles I've purchased I've not been disappointed. There's a label for EVERYTHING even this darn Government Shutdown infused with Pettiness & 800,000 Indentured Servants (Drunken Apple seemed the most appropriate scent!). I even found one labeled Chandelier Swinger infused with Pure Maliciousness. I cannot WAIT to gift this one to a special friend who will not be able to control her surprise at how perfect this candle is for her! If you love supporting small local businesses you won't want to miss out on a visit to the store . I guarantee you will be as hooked as I am and maybe you'll even get to meet the lovely Lacie! And for those who enjoy candles but can't handle scents, you can order unscented with the label of your choice ;) See? Something for everyone! read more

Fantastic candles, hoodies, stickers, buttons and so customizable! You will love this place.

I wasn't sure what to expect but found what I was looking for. I liked that you could choose the label you wanted to suit the occasion and scent. It was a comfortable store and there wasn't hovering salespeople or anything. Well thought out. read more

i saw a video they posted on TikTok of them dealing with a "Karen" that was absolute gold and thought, "they know who they are & what they are about. I need to support this company!" I ordered a custom candle for my sister, who is a homesteader and blogger in WA. She LOVES her candle! She's only had it a month and has burned through half of it already. she says it's her favorite candle and loves the smell, and the label I created was perfect for her. will always be supporting this fantastic company! read more

My wife purchased one of their candles from a store in Sedro Woolley last year and wanted to replace the scent. After going back and forth with them on email, my wife and I decided to drive up to Snohomish from Auburn to have a look and spend the day in Snohomish. Well, the latest email blast had the Ave D address, luckily someone told us to look on 1st street. We got to the store, and asked about the scent. We had to wait while she went to the laptop in back to shut down Facebook? Anway by the the time I left, I would say Malicious Women was what we got for a clerk (Thanks Hallie). By the way we are retired and like to go to the small towns as a day trips. Anyway we were told that it was an old candle, when we asked about the scent at that point she just got nasty. My point was we were interested in the scent not the label on the candle, as the scents came with many labels. At that point we were asked to leave, we had not done anything wrong, so as I left I said, I assume your pronoun was bitcc based on they way asked us to leave. This was obviously not the owner, but some spoiled Millennial that wanted to go back to her Social computer life. Well that was enough for the day so we drove the 1 hour back home, with no intent to ever visit Snohomish again. Good luck with the business with salespersons like that. :) read more

Malicious Women Candle Co makes my absolute favorite candles and their shop is amazing! It's super cute and full of awesome things. They of course have their candles for sale but they also have local crafters items available too. The staff is super friendly and able to help you find the perfect label for yourself or for a gift. They make really great gift sets as well, but shopping in store allows you to put together your own gift box! If you like candles and all things sassy head down to the shop and have a great time! And I should add they support a lot of great causes so shooing from them, helps support those causes too. P.S. My favorite Scents are Pink Champagne, Carmel Kentucky Bourbon and A Hot Mess, but all their scents are incredible. I haven't found a scent they make that I don't enjoy. read more

Love this place! Amazing scents and perfect labels. Love their social media presence. Keep being bad b*tches!
