Let customers speak for us
from 90 reviewsWe are all already long time fans of the Sandalwood Musk, but this time as the price of the seconds is so attractive, we also ventured the seasonal White Christmas and love it as well. What I really love about all the scents, is that they are very subtle which makes them perfect for our use in the office even when receiving clients. We love Ambustum (great service, fast dispatch) and we love to "save" the seconds (thereby ofcourse also saving ourselves ;-)
Lovely packaging. Incredibly rich scents. Will be buying more.
Wow!! My colleague purchased your fragrance samples and we often give them a try in the office, and I couldn't get enough of Damascena. I ordered last week and oh wow I have NEVER tried a scent like it, I am obsessed! I have had sooo many compliments from friends at the weekend, so apologies in advance if you have an influx of orders!😂 Thank you SO much again! I am so happy and will definitley be stocking up in a few months!!
Excellent ad ever. Highly recommended.
The flaws are so minimal on these candles you really wouldn’t know they are seconds. The perfumes are unaffected. They are extremely good value for money and smell devine . Would highly recommend.
Christmas has started early and Noel is my favourite and White Christmas. Currently burning Lemon and Ginger - what can I say I’m a fan 😉
I absolutely love these candles and burn them in 2 rooms of my house as I love the scent so much!
I ordered the fragrance samples from Ambustum ahead of Super Seconds Festival. They arrived promptly and not only are the scents absolutely gorgeous, but the little illustrated cards that come with each one are also beautiful! All of the scents are amazing, and it was very difficult to choose which candles to purchase!
Ambustum standards are so high it’s very hard to tell the difference between the seconds and the full price!
Smoky and sweet. Kind of like my Geandfathers study (if he were secretly a beekeeper). Was shipped the same day and on my doorstep in 2 - highly recommend!
Got the fragrance samples to help me choose candles, there were a few scents that I could not quite guess if I would like them from their description.
The cutest small box arrived with stunning photos/prints, per each sample. I could honestly put them all together in a frame, so beautiful
Really impressed that these were sent out free. One of the worst thing about buying candles online is not being sure of the scents. The sample cards were great, with good, long-lasting fragrance.
Lovely little box of sample cards which are heavily impregnated with the various fragrances. I will be ordering very soon
I was so excited to try this new scent and add to my growing collection (Sandalwood Musk and Tomato Leaf which also are amazingg), and I was NOT let down. I purchased the sample pack to test which fragrance would be best for me and Daodar smelt incredible. I've since invested in the candle and it is my absolute go to for an evening! Smells fantastic and I've had loadss of compliments!! Thank you so much X
Wonderful experience, extremely fun and the staff at the hotel were very attentive. Sari is clearly passionate about candles and that is evident with how interactive and fun the sessions are. The candles we made are amazing and smell wonderful!
Travelled from Birmingham and would do it again. Worth every penny.
