I have been a fan of Essano's skincare products for a while, so I was intrigued when they announced that they were launching a range of scented candles.
Disclaimer: I am not a scented candle person. I have never really used them, like at all. In the past when I have used scents in the home it has been incense, so this was my first go with a proper scented candle. I received this in a Beauty Box surprise box, so I did not know I was receiving it until it arrived.
So now that I have a scented candle, I have to say I that I am in love. It smells amazing. The candle scent I have is French Pear & Vanilla and it smells just like them. In comparison to incense, the scent from this candle is much stronger, more consistent, and lasts a lot longer if you are trying to use a scent to fill a room.
The candle comes in a neat pink and green box. The larger pink box forms the lid, and fits neatly over the smaller green box which holds the candle. The candle is about 6cm in radius, and the wax is cream. It comes in its own cream glass container, which has Essano written in gold on the side. The box, bottom of the candle, and inside the box, all have clear safety instructions for burning the candle safely.
The candle burns safely and steadily, and the scent really fills the room! It smells so lovely and it is a pleasure to have it burning. In fact, it is burning next to me while I write this review. I think this candle will last for a long time, but I will definitely buy another one when it runs out.
My mum got this and the diffuser too as a gift. When I walked into the lounge before Christmas time I could smell something really nice and refreshing I followed my nose and I found the box for the candle and the matching diffuser on the other side of the room. The box smells so nice that it has not been thrown out and it is very sturdy. The fluid in the diffuser has lasted as it is now February the candle smells great without even being lit! I love the smell I have seen them in the supermarket they are a great gift you can really Smell the pear. It is not over powering either you don't even have to light the candle to get a nice wiff if your nearby. This is something I would purchase myself in future because the smell is amazing and the vanilla is not over powering of the yummy pear. I cannot comment on how long it will last in terms of burn time because I have not had a huge experience with burning different types of wax candles but I can say this is a great gift and the packaging is pink like other essano products and also green I think its refreshing and balanced. The nice scented box would be ideal to keep something else in it and let it absorb the smell as it does linger. A great way to make your home or office nice. The price is affordable
