The best candles ever
Been using John's products for nearly 2 years now. I only use these products now. Just got my first diffuser in Sanctum which is my all time fave fragrance. John is so lovely. Posted my goodies to me as both of us are busy at the mo. Looking forward to new autumnal fragrances coming soon.

One very happy repeat customer!!
Been purchasing these candles for a few years now, nothing comes close to the depth of fragrance and quality of the products. The candles are such that they last for weeks and burn so well they last. Always happy with my purchase, these never fail to make me happy. A long term valued customer, thanks for a brilliant service from start to finish 🙃 xx

Room Diffusers
Their products have a very natural and lasting fragrance. I've used them for some time but this is the first time ordering online. The process was easy to use and the items were available sooner than expected. Friendly and efficient service.

Beautiful candle bought as a gift
Ordering and purchase was easy and straightforward, I was updated and collected it from John at a convenient time. Purchased as a birthday gift for my daughter who I am sure will be delighted.

Second purchase
Second purchase, really appreciated the advice as to the best scent for a nauseous pregnant daughter-in-law! The extra packaging and personal delivery was above and beyond! Highly recommended, will definitely purchase for my own home.

Sanctum Diffuser
I was given the Sanctum diffuser last Christmas. It has a gorgeous scent and brings cheer to the grey winter days. It is long lasting. I have bought again for myself and as a gift. It’s lovely to support a local business.

5star customer service and products!
John always goes over and above to provide excellent customer service. And my house smells blissfully of Christmas - this is my first set of wax melts I look forward to trying other fragrances alongside my usual favourite candles and diffusers from The Ampthill Alchemist range.

I love scented candles and these are by far the best. The scent blends are beautiful and unusual and their perfume lasts long after the candle is extinguished.
I would like to mention a favourite, but I like all those I have tried.
John is also very lovely, he calls to let me know when the order will be sent and we have a nice chat and this makes me feel special.
