Smells amazing and has a great design
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this candle. They really outdid their self with this scent. It smells phenomenal. Anytime anybody ever comes over and I have this lit. They always ask what that smell is. It’s not overpowering. It’s just this beautiful scent that fills my home and make it feel so cozy. It’s a little but it packs a punch. I would love to try the other scents as well.

Fresh and clean scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This came wrapped so beautifully I hated to open it! The smell is amazing, fresh and light. I was worried about it being too strong or overpowering but it’s not at all.

Nice look, subtle scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This candle looks really nice, love the packaging and the lid. My one dislike is the base being smaller circumference than the upper portion, with kids and cats it seems like more likely to tip over. The smell is nice, not super strong which I prefer!

Amazing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells so good and looks AWESOME with my decor! Its such a nice size and is cute and modern but also classy. The smell is not cheap smelling and somehow smells like the beach but also so mature smelling. Burning downstairs, i can smell it upstairs, in such a light and non irritating factor. Love lighting it up after a long day, even as fall starts to roll in.

Nice light fragrance
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I enjoy the light fragrance of this candle and I think the jar and aesthetic are absolutely beautiful. The candle didn’t burn out extremely quickly either.

Reminds you of the beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The candle has such a pretty ombré coloring to it. The lid is a like a matte silver and it sits flush with the top of the candle giving a sleek look. The smell is wonderful. Very beach like.

Nice subtle scent!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The candle has a great scent and adds a subtle pop of color in our bathroom. Love candles and scents for enjoying a bubble bath at the end of a long week.

Beautiful design and incredible smell 🥰
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] "I received this Chesapeake Bay Candle from Influenster for review! The aesthetic design and frosted glass look stunning in my home. It has a great solid weight, clear burn instructions, and top-tier performance. The ocean scent fills the room instantly and burns so smoothly. Absolutely love it!

Has a light perfume scent not ocean.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Chesapeake Bay Candle Ocean Retreat is a really pretty Candle. I love how elegant it looks. I was hoping for more of a fesh ocean scent. This Candle has more of a perfume scent. Its light but I'm not a big fan of it. If you don't mind perfume you probably would really like this scent.

Amazing smelling candle
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved this candle! Wish it didn’t burn so fast but it was amazing while it lasted. The packaging it came in was super nice and secure. The design of the candle was really upscale and nice! It was the perfect size for regular sized bedroom. I got the Ocean Retreat scent and it made my room smell like an island resort.

Pretty and lightly scented
The container/display is very decorative. I like the way it looks, however the scent is very light. In smaller rooms, like a powder room, it's fine.

Fresh, Clean and So Relaxing! 🌊
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Chesapeake bay candle ocean blossom has such a fresh, calming scent! It gives my space a clean, refreshing feeling without being too overpowering. I love lighting it while I get ready for bed and sometimes when I want to refresh the smell after cooking. The floral and ocean inspired scent is really refreshing. Definitely a great everyday candle! 💕🕯️

My wife new favorite
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I just step into the house the sweet smell fly to my nose and I have to ask my wife what is it. She point to the well lit Chesapeake Bay candle with excitement and said it the one. We've try a lot of different candle, but I never seen she got excited for any candle like this. The sweet smell of Ocean Blossom made the whole room feel like we actually outside at the beach with full of flowers around. From that moment on we lit it up everytimes we got home. It might look small, but the candle actually last for a long time.

It’s a nice addition to my place.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Just got delivered this Chesapeake Bay 'Ocean Blossom' candle and I’m already hooked. The scent is spot-on—fresh, aquatic, and lightly floral, like a perfect coastal breeze. It’s not too strong, just super relaxing. And can we talk about the glow? The geometric design on the pink ombré glass looks so magical when it's lit. It’s quickly become my go-to for cozy nights in. Highly recommend if you want to bring a little beachy vibe into your home. 10/10 for me!

Love this candle!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This candle smells SO good. I will say I am a picky person when it comes to candles. When I picked this out online I was nervous. But it is a perfect size, it fits under my candle lamp. I have had it on a couple times and it still hasn't even melted half way, but my house smells great. I have a large upper part of my house and I can smell it throughout. I definitely recommend this one. If I had to try and describe the smell it would be similar to cherry blossom.

Smells very welcoming!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells so good! Floral, sweet , warm and very homey scents. Not over powering. And the fragrance is not bothering to the nose. Setup is easy just open the top and light the candle. Burns as long as you want. Makes the room smell refreshing.

Smells great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This candle smells amazing! The Marine Drift scent is very crisp and clean- like a linen, salty, fresh smell. It has a strong and lingering scent without overpowering. And the textured glass is gorgeous!

Lovely scent
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Beautifully packaged candle with a very inviting scent. Looks great in my kitchen and smells fantastic. I like that it comes with a decorative lid too so I can dress it up when not in use. Ocean Blossom is a light citrus and is calming with a pretty intense throw throughout the lower level.

Stroll in the beach
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Marine Drift scented candle by Chesapeake Bay Candle brings a serious beach ambiance. The tumbler itself is a texturized glass with an ombre pattern to resemble sea glass. The scent of the candle is airy, soft and refreshing without being overpowering. I choose to use my candles on a candle warmer instead of lighting them so I am not sure if this candle puts off a lot of smoke. While it is a soy based candle, it seems to have a really good burn time because it wasn't noticeably gone after 1 use. This candle delivers the feeling of walking on the beach and it's a great value especially at this size. I highly recommend it for your own personal collection or as a gift.
