"What a wonderful surprise! This holiday season I was frantic. Some very kind teachers deserved gifts as they had written many college recommendations for my son. Ran into a local bookstore and discovered your candles and your music. Unfortunately, Buster, our chocolate lab shared my interest and unwrapped the candles, leaving paw prints everywhere. (Oh well, had to keep the candles.) As I am sitting here this evening I am enjoying the last of your Peace on Earth, Peppermint Vanilla candle. What a great product and a lovely surprise to discover you are a Rhode Island company...my native state.
So just a thank you for a wonderful product. I would love to buy more..."

"I absolutely loved Orla soy candles! They've all but disappeared in retail settings. I don't suppose you would have a coffee scent/variety? Orla was always amazing for their fragrance blends and the smell, oh just heavenly. I love coffee, obviously, my complaint with a lot of candles is they have either too sweet a scent or something scent wise that is out of place..."

"Hi--- I was at your booth at the Boston gift show. You were so nice to tell us about your wonderful products. I was lucky enough to receive a free sample of your soy melts. I am so hooked! I have been "into" candles for most of my life and have probably tried a hundred brands and scents. I light candles every day and evening in my house. However, I never have had the quality and the long-lasting scent of your soy melts. Most impressionable is how the scent is diffused into the air and carried quite far into the rooms of my house. This is the first time I ever heard of Orla candles, wonder where you have been all these years and how I could've missed your product. Since I cannot find your candles and melts, I was wondering if I could order candles and melts directly through you. Thank you very much for taking the time to consider this request."

"I just placed an order yesterday with Sue and she couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. I first found the Orla Soy Candle at a campground general store and fell in love with the flamenco soul fragrance (orange zest). In fact, it's the only candle I burn any more as it burns clean and has the most wonderful fragrance ever!!! Please never stop selling them!!

"I just ordered the Beach of Dreams set from As We Change. My husband has asthma so we are very particular about the candles we burn. Your Coconut Lime candle is the nicest we have had. It is not too strong but not too light. The combination of coconut & lime is wonderful. The music is soothing and very nice. Please send a catalog and information on your stores in our area, we would like to purchase more."

"I wanted to write and express my gratitude for your commitment to making Orla candles. I have been a fan since 2008 when I purchase my first Orla Soy Candle in the lovely little town of Jim Thorpe, PA. It was the Peppermint Vanilla (Peace) with the beautiful Christmas tree on the box. It was the packaging that attracted me to pick up the box and open it to have a smell for myself. After I opened the box I was instantly pleased by the light, fragrant scent that I had to buy it. Since then I have yet to find any soy candle from expensive department stores, boutique gift shops or online candle companies that come even close to the quality, simplicity and aroma of Orla Soy Candles. I enjoy the decorative boxes and use them often to decorate during theme times at my office including employee appreciation days and holidays. Orla is a company I hope to see making candles for a very long time."
