About Scentd
Scentd is a social diary for candle lovers. Think of it as Letterboxd, but for the things you burn — a place to remember every candle you've lit, tell people how it actually performed, and find the next one worth lighting.
Keep a diary of what you burn
Every candle tells a slightly different story depending on the room, the day, and your nose. Log a burn the moment you light one, and build up a personal history you can actually look back on — not a shelf of half-remembered impressions.
When you're ready to review, you rate on a 1–5 star scale and score the details that candle people genuinely argue about: hot throw(how far the scent carries while it's lit), cold throw (how strong it smells unlit on the shelf), and longevity (whether it lasts or fades by hour two). One honest review per candle, editable whenever your opinion changes.
Build shelves, not clutter
Organize your collection into shelves that mirror how you actually think about candles: a Wishlistfor the ones you're eyeing, Ownedfor what's on the shelf right now, and Burned for the empties you loved enough to remember. Your shelves become a portrait of your taste over time.
A community built on real opinions
Browse by brand or by scent note, follow the throw scores and reviews from other people who burn the way you do, and use scent notes to chase a specific vibe — smoky, gourmand, fresh-linen, deep amber. Discovery here is powered by what the community actually experienced, not by whoever paid the most.
Missing a candle you love? Anyone can request that we add it, and the catalog grows from there.
How we make money
We'll be straight with you. Some of the “buy” links on Scentd are affiliate links: if you click through and purchase, we may earn a small commission from the retailer. It costs you nothing extra — the price is the same as if you'd gone there directly — and it's what keeps Scentd running.
Here's the line we won't cross: reviews and ratings are never for sale. Brands can't pay to raise a score, bury a bad review, or appear where they don't belong. Commissions never influence what our community says about a candle. If a candle burns badly, you'll read that here — affiliate link or not.
