New Scotland Candle Co.

I love New Scotland candles! This place is a must stop for me on every trip I take to Nova Scotia. They also have a great online store. There are a variety of scents and they all smell amazing, they’re fresh, smell true to their description, and not at all overpowering. Great customer service too!

I have moved to new Glasgow and have found these candles there but I was in valley and dropped into the new location. The owner Mark made me feel very welcomed. There is nothing like being in person. Loved new store, new scents, new products and same welcome atmosphere. I’m coming back on Wednesday for an order he made for me. Love this place

Absolutely love this place . The candles are so unique and I have many in my family now hooked on their brand. Even as far as out west. I look forward to my visits with the owners as the treat you like family. Also love the loyalty card.

Love this place, My boyfriend and I go in all the time he loves it more than me. The scents are so lovely. I'd like to suggest more sweeter smells for instance, Food like smells. The soap is also super nice as well. Smell lasts long on your body and feels good. Doesn't make me itch or anything. I'd suggest going here especially for a nice gift for someone!☺

One of my friends gifted me the Sea Smoke candle this past Christmas, and I’ve been hooked ever since. It’s an absolutely gorgeous candle with such a unique yet beautiful scent. I’ve visited the shop several times now to purchase some of their other scents, which are also quite lovely. The Sea Smoke candle will be a permanent staple in my life, that’s for sure! The folks who own the store are also super friendly and kind to talk to. These candles are just amazing and some of the best quality I’ve ever purchased! Love supporting this charming local business.

My husband and I recently bought a house in Kentville and received the "Sea Smoke" candle as a housewarming gift from our real estate agent. The scent is amazing, and I love that the candles are 100% soy! I will definitely continue to support local and buy candles from New Scotland Candle Co.!

I would give them a 6 out of 5 if I could. Adorable shop. The candle sents are so perfect and spot on to their names. There isnt a sent they have released that i didnt absolutely love! They always have new sents which is great. They have a punch card where if you spend 10 dollars of their in house made products you get a stamp towards a discount. Their prices are lower and more affordable than comparable local candle companies and they offer a discount for multi buys on their bigger candles and I think also on their wax melts. The owners are always beyond friendly and helpful. I cannot say enough about how much I love this business!

Recently, I received the "Steve French Vanilla Candle" as a gift. I'm a true 'vaniller' kinda gal; including everything from ice-cream, moisturizer, and body wash to dryer sheets! The scent of this candle is soft, inviting, and warm. It is also reminiscent of pleasant childhood memories of cookies or cupcakes baking in the oven.

Great local candle store with fantastic fragrances. If you're in the area and enjoy local hand made candles with lots of local scents definitely check them out. Super friendly owners as well!

Very friendly and the products are absolutely lovely. The scents are beautiful and the candles burn really well. One of my favourite gifts to give.

Lovely people, and a very nice storefront. The root beer scent is delectable and so unique, my favourite. Also, thank you for wearing masks! 😷

Excellent quality candles, beautiful store & friendly owners. My go-to for gift buying!

We were visiting nearby family and had to stop in to see this very special candle store. These candles and much more are made with passion, right on site by Erin and Mark … both will go out of their way to help you find just what you are looking for !! ❤❤❤

Awesome customer service
I messaged Sunday for a last minute birthday present for my sister not realizing they weren't open Mondays, they did my order told me to knock on the locked door and met me with my order and a few samples :)

Great selection of their own scented candles and other things made by other local artisans

Awesome little shop! Great candles and sprays! Worth the trip to Kentville!!

Great scents and great value!

I received one of these candles as a gift and I enjoyed the scent; however, the scent is not worth the large burn mark left on my white entertainment center. I have burned plenty of bath and body works candles down to their bottoms on this entertainment center before without issue. Additionally, the candle was not burning for longer than 2 hours and the bottom says not to burn for more than 4 hours. I am so annoyed that this was not listed as a danger on the bottom of the jar--thank god this didn't start a fire but I would not recommend this candle to anyone. At it's best it could leave unsightly marks on whatever it sits on. I'm afraid to know what it could do at its worst.
