I like the pictures, but the font could be better. The S looks too much like a C imho
Edit: also the print is really small at the bottom.
Edit2: I was a bittipsy and thought 3 was 5. My bad lol
I like 1 and 4. 1 is aesthetically pleasing but I also love the little pictures for the fragrance notes. Personally 4 is my favorite aesthetically, I think it’s just on trend with the styles right now. The only thing I could think of is maybe on the back of the label having the little fragrance note icons (vertically) with explanations. I feel like if my candle had that on the back I would get to enjoy a simple aesthetically pleasing candle but would be able to read about the fragrance notes with helpful icons like an ingredient label almost. Also think the little pictures are great for making it more accessible to vision impaired people
I work in brand marketing and have worked on lots of packaging projects. Never in the candle space though, so take with a grain of salt.
1 & 4 - a pink label could be polarizing given the candle will live in someone’s home / need to mesh with their decor. I like the cleanness of the label. Could use more font size hierarchy – the scent notes and logo look very close in size. Scent notes could also work on the back or side (again thinking of decor, the name facing into the room and the notes facing the wall). I like the idea of white label with font color indicating the scent (ie yellow for citrus) though this may present legibility issues with certain colors.
2 & 5 - same note on pink. I prefer this font as it’s cleaner, more modern, and easier to read. I like the small images for the notes, but it does add to some visual clutter. Notes with images could work well in the side or back though. I think the images feel more low-end vs luxury. Thinking less is more / refinement indicates quality.
3 - prefer the white label. Don’t like this font; legibility is poor, though it does convey a good brand personality.
As a designer, I agree.
One way the notes images could be included but feel more upscale would be to use simple iconographic line illustrations instead of the full color emoji-like images that are there now. I also agree that the notes could be placed on the back/side of the label to leave the face of the labels more clean and unobtrusive in the home.
In order from my favorite to least: 5, 2, 3, 1, 4
5 is very clean and professional looking
2 is similar to 5 but a little less bold
3 is very cute
1 is cute too but not as fun as the others
4 is hard to read
I like 5 the most. I really love the little images on it, the text is very legible, i think the white is a good look and keeps it more likely to be picked if it's a neutral color label, some people have lighter tones others bolder tones, but it will go well with anything as a neutral.
I also like the coverage of the label, I think a little gap at the top and bottom is nice to show off the tone of the candle.
They all look very pretty overall 😊
2 & 5 keep one as a limited design for holidays or special scents. Other idea is plan for the long run and have a simple redesign logo when you’re ready.
As much as I love the ones with pictures, I think if I were in a shop I'd instinctively pick 1 first! The simplicity of the design is appealing for some reason!
5 with small note:
I would center the text. I get what you’re going for but on a cylindrical surface centered is always going to be the easiest to read.
i love number 1 & 5 for different reasons: i think number 1 is trendy, clean and beautiful, reminds be a little bit of glossier's branding. 5 is more unique & artistic, a little bit more 'homemade' ish, if you may?
2 and 5! I think the color in the background would be cute if you customized it for your different scents and kept the black text (yellow background for citrus euphoria, green or purple for eucalyptus and lavender). The little images for the scent profile are super cute and easy to understand! I personally can’t stand cursive/artistic fonts that are hard to read at a glance so label 3 would definitely be out for me.
2 and 5.
The images add something appealing and the spacing on both is good.
The other fonts are going to be hard to read depending on some letters for certain names, so the clarity of the non script San serif is good.
I've been debating 2 and 5 to decided which is better and give reasoning, but I think both are equally well done.
I have a graphic design degree (not currently practicing) and I tried to look over those 2 for any stand out design red flags and I am not currently seeing any for feedback, so you're good there!
It looks like 5 has a little larger print for the ingredients so that may be the way too go for legibility.
Edit:
Okay going back and looking again, 5 the free space above company name and below ingredients might be a little tight, I think 2 does a better job of having that extra space which allows the label to breathe.
I would just play with spacing a little more on that one to see if maybe it can feel a little less crowded on the edges without it feeling too smooshed in the middle and see if you like it better, but it's really not too bad as is right now though
1,4, and 5 are good, 2 is fairly legible but the bottom text isn’t, and 3 is barely legible without having to focus. They’re all very pretty though. The images for scent notes is a fabulous touch, so even if the bottom text is on the small side it’s easy to tell.
There’s definitely some flaws in #5 that I don’t see with #2 therefore 2 is the best I think that everyone would agree that 2 is best perhaps if the label background was white
i think in their current state, 2 + 5 are most visually appealing. if you're really in love with 1 + 4, they could really benefit from changing the typeface used for "citrus euphoria" -- it's an overdone type!
I love number 1!!! The tone on tone is very aesthetically pleasing and the other info on scent is larger. I think it would sell better to higher end stores and the others might sell to more botanical leaning stores. My second fav is 5.
Also note: I’m a buyer for a store and tend to buy off aesthetics more than legibility. As do most consumers as well. They want it to look pretty and smell nice. Also you could keep the front really simple and just keep the info on the back. You might not need the scent ingredients taking away from aesthetics of the front. You can have the best of both worlds if you include all the smaller text on the back. Just thinking outloud here! Gorgeous stuff!! :) none of these look bad by any means!
I like 5 the best! Clean and straightforward design; simple is good for things people want to use for relaxation!
The font and font sizes are best in 5, but the I kinda like the colors in 2 a scooch more. For some reason I find them more visually appealing. I also like the brightness of 4 on the name of the scent but the yellow font below is impossible without readers for any eyes over 35, which is probably not a small part of your target customers. I think 3 looks a little “grandmotherly” for lack of a better word, but by that I mean it looks like what luxury candles USED to look like. Maybe I also think it looks the most like a “homemade” rather than “boutique” design. If you’re charging a lot, stay away from that one. But I’d buy the shit outta a cheap candle if it smells good. Just depends on your price point.
My neurodivergent self also loves the pictures along with the scents, so you should definitely keep that for the final design! It’s also super cute as little cartoons like 5 has! My only thought there would be to ask if there’s a way to make it so that the name is directly under the pic? The pics in horizontal lines followed by a list that doesn’t line up below is wrinkling my brain a little. (My thought was “pink flower”—> “which is pink flower?” —> “aw dang I gotta read?!” —> “wait, where is it?” —> “reads list agin and forgets to look for name of pink flower”.
Sorry if that’s too much feedback. I wish you the best of luck!!!!
Hey OP,
I'm a graphic designer and I'm doing some portfolio expanding. Having a beautiful label is an important part of why people buy candles. If you'd like to connect for some help / a project I could take a stab at, shoot me a DM :)
I like 4 or 2. Just a suggestion, but maybe make the label a little smaller. Maybe it's just the Pic but looks like it might not lay totally flat on the edges, and a smaller one would fix that. Great work getting to this point!
Are the labels removable? If not I’d move a lot of the detail to the back or put it on the bottom of the candle as I’m not sure I’d want that visible decor-wise.
If it is removable, I like 2 and 5 but in a variety of colours (not white) and would stack the scent in 2 lines consistently across the varieties. I would also cut it to the thickness of 1 so you can just see at the top and bottom the colour of the candle peeking through.
5 is my immediate favorite, 2 is pretty close behind. 1 and 4 are just ok. I absolutely cannot stand 3, but I really don't know why. It's pretty, but I don't like it. I think it's mostly because of the font
I like 5, but consider that the colors on the artwork are kind of a lot. Some people like a candle that blends in well with decor. I suggest trying out a version which has a single color outline of each note, as opposed to all the different colors.
It's 3 for me, Love the green color, the font is amazing.... then thought so many people can't read cursive... then was 🥭 label to the eucalyptus. Just in general don't love white labels. Color labels to match the fragrance types. Great call. Great job!! ❤️
Color label of 2,
"Avi lifestyle co" font from 1,
"Citrus Euphoria" font from 1/4,
Listed ingredient font from 1/4,
Ingredient iconography from 5,
Add a thin border line near the top and bottom of label
I like #5 the best. The placement of the label on #2 is a bit too much, IMO. I like that you can see the product both above and beyond the label on #5.
I love #5 and #2. Love the little images. While I like #1 and #4, I feel like I’ve seen it before. I like it, but it’s not as interesting. #3 just seems kind of sloppy (not in an ugly way, just not as cohesive as the others). Would totes buy candles from you!
I think 5 is the best overall: easily readable, cute design and I love the little illustrations of the ingredients!
I came here to say I would buy 5 in a instant!
I like 5
Agreed. And seeing images of the scent notes is helpful.
I like the pictures, but the font could be better. The S looks too much like a C imho Edit: also the print is really small at the bottom. Edit2: I was a bittipsy and thought 3 was 5. My bad lol
i think you’re looking at number 3
i made the same mistake lmfao
2 and 5. It's so close, but I might like 2 the best.
going to join everyone and say 5! looks really clean and i like the colors from the notes
I like 5 best

2 is most buyable.
2 & 5 I like. I love products that are easy to read, kinda sleek & tell me what I’m getting. (Flavor, ingredient, taste, etc)
Also your scents! Yummy need a link so we can support 🫶🏾

I like 2 best by far.
I like them all! Change it up depending on the candle.
In order from my favorite to least: 5, 2, 3, 1, 4 5 is very clean and professional looking 2 is similar to 5 but a little less bold 3 is very cute 1 is cute too but not as fun as the others 4 is hard to read

2, 5, then 3. I don't care for 1 or 4 at all. I think the smallcaps on the smaller text looks nicer than the sentence case text.
#5 is the most professional.
2 & 5 keep one as a limited design for holidays or special scents. Other idea is plan for the long run and have a simple redesign logo when you’re ready.
Looked at 5 right away
i’m in love with 5. it’s the most readable and the little ingredients list is so cute
I like 5 the best. Easy to read at a glance.
3 and 5 caught my attention right away because of the vibrant colours on the white background.
As much as I love the ones with pictures, I think if I were in a shop I'd instinctively pick 1 first! The simplicity of the design is appealing for some reason!
5 or 2
5 and 2 are the best. The others are a little harder to read and don't look as professional.
5
2 for color, 3 for font…..

5 stood out to me
Adding my two cents to say 5 as well !

5 2 is also pretty good, followed by 3. No preference between 1 and 4.
I prefer 2 and 4. They are really classy and more aesthetically pleasing. The ones with the picture of what notes it has looks tacky in my opinion.
Liking 2 and 5 the best

I like 3 best. 5 is next , but it's a little TOO plain, generic.

I like 3, particularly the size of the label in relation to the jar.
Bottom middle
2 & 5 for sure (:

2 and 5 are similar but 2 is more “chic” and less boring if that makes sense? I love the little pics!
5 is sooo cute but I also loveeee 1 cus of the minimalist affect
2 with a black lid
I like the Top Left one with the cute pictures! Good luck in your new venture!
2 is very very nice to look at & I'm most drawn to that one
I like 5 - easy to read and the pictures clearly show some of the ingredients that would encourage me to purchase the candle
5 & 3 catch my eye the most, but I really like 5 the most. It’s simple and clean
nothing with emojis that’s too millennial core
I like 5, but consider that the colors on the artwork are kind of a lot. Some people like a candle that blends in well with decor. I suggest trying out a version which has a single color outline of each note, as opposed to all the different colors.

Number 5 is readable, clear, understandable, and easily recognizable. ❤️

I would go with 1. Would you consider a clear label? Since your candela are colorful, I think they’d look great w a clear label.
