Glasshouse Triple Scented Candles

i had a voucher for peter alexander so this is one of the things i chose to buy with my voucher. i got a mini mind you, they're bloody expensive candles and i didn't know if i was going to like it.

i realize its a mini but my lord... so small. so expensive! small and expensive!! and the packaging was seriously lacking - the box it came in was gorgeous but the glass jar was just a bit pathetic and it reminded me of something i'd find in a dollar store with a cheap nasty candle in it.

the smell... wow. so nice. so that's what i paid for! it's a really gorgeous scent and when lit it carries through the room really nicely. the vanilla and caramel carry the most for me but apparently this also has pineapple and coconut in it, so that's blown my mind.

honestly for the price and what it is, i think there's better candles out there, but if you've got the money then splurge and treat yoself. i won't be doing it again anytime soon but i am gald i did it the once!

Went into Peter Alexander this week to buy some new jim jams and came out with 2 pair and one of these.

My night attire choice no doubt will not be interesting to the BR world but this! Talking about worlds..this transports you to another one.

I'm a fan of Vanilla candles and I don't mind shelling out top dollar for good ones. The Ecoya Vanilla one has been my fav up until now..but...this one leaves it in the shade.

It's actually Vanilla/Caramel and god it smells exactly like you've just pulled a Caramel slice out of the oven. I had to keep whipping back into the lounge and inhaling! It is absolutely gorgeous.

This is my product find for the year, price wise it's up there I guess but they claim it burns for 80 hours, and for a good quality candle that's about right I think. Sigghhh I will never be without one in my home from now on!

If you have a sweet tooth you will love this candle! In fact all of there candles are amazing I have a slight addiction and have about ten! you have to try them! they are all lovely scents. They leave your room smelling amazing unlike some other candles that don't seem to let off any scent at all. They are a great size and come in large and mini versions. If you are looking for a gift these are great. Im on my second Tahaa and cant get enough I love all Vanilla scent and with the mix of caramel makes it even more delightful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

First off I just want to say this candle smells amazing! Such a strong, gorgeous scent which makes the room smell beautiful even without lighting it. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with this product that means I won't be repurchasing. It almost set my house on fire! I had lit the candle for the first time, it had been burning for about an hour and the glass suddenly cracked and broke in half, the wax was spilling everywhere, and the flame had become huge, almost catching my curtains alight. Scary stuff! I can imagine this hasn't happened to many people and I was just unlucky having been given a faulty product. The girls at Peter Alexander were really nice about it and refunded me, but this was definitely a wakeup call - if I had not been in the room who knows what would have happened!

After experiencing this scent after a couple of visits to Peter Alexander in Wellington I was super excited to give this exciting trial opportunity a go to properly test out this divine product! I have to say that after giving this candle a proper go I have fallen completely in love with it, and have a feeling it will be a home decor staple for years to come!

Firsty, the packaging and presentation of this candle are beautiful. It comes in a gorgeous box, and the style of the candle is in a glass jar with ribboned lid. If you're wanting to get this as a gift for someone, the packaging alone is perfect.

The scent, one of the most important things in candles, is VERY strong, and I LOVE it. I suppose this is very much a personal thing; you would either adore this fragrance like I do, or it could prove much too strong and sweet for you. It is a delicious vanilla/caramel scent, and from the moment I opened the box it already started making my room smell amazing - before I'd even lit the candle! Once lighted, this scent permeates the whole room and lingers long after blowing the candle out.

There are two wicks, and they light very easily. The flame burns smoothly without any spluttering or flickering whatsoever. They are also very easy to blow out; the flame is extinguished immediately and there's barely any smoke, unlike other candles I've had where you spend ages trying to calm down the amount of smoke.

Completely in love, and totally recommend to anyone after a sweet, butterscotchy, homely scented candle!

I was lucky enough to win one of these candles and it's become by far my favourite! Which really is saying something as I've never normally been a huge fan of 'sweet' scents. I no doubt will have to repurchase once I run out of this one.

It comes in an absolutely gorgeous glass jar which I will reuse once the candle is burnt down as its too cute to throw away!

It has the most delicious creamy vanilla caramel scent ever that has such a good throw - I only need this lit for 10 mins and already my room smells divine! I like how it has two wicks so it burns evenly and the lid is awesome as it means no horrible smokey smell from having to blow the candle out!

I have been using this heaps for about 3 weeks now and I've only made the smallest dent in it.

Overall even though its pricey I think its such a great quality candle. The smell is on point, it lasts for aaages and at the end of it you get a super cute little glass jar to keep.

I have to start this by saying I was completely ignorant to the fact that Peter Alexander even sold candles. Every time I walked in to the store I would literally die, haha no, but the smell was so overwhelmingly delicious, I dreamed that I could one day recreate the scent in my room.

Cue the lightbulb moment, when after my 10th odd visit I spotted the candles! I had a little giggle to myself for being so oblivious to them. Then I saw the price tag...the laughter subsided.

$55?! I found the most amazing candle of life and it's $55?! Long story short I walked out, heartbroken, without it. I subsequently came home and read ChristieMJ's review on it, which enabled me to be able to justify the purchase, yay!

It is now sitting pride of place on my dresser in my bedroom and every single person that has smelt it since I purchased it has fallen madly in love with it themselves.

I love scented candles and I have tried a lot. This baby is by far my favourite so far. I love the Peter Alexander stores even more now. The presentation box is gorgeous enough to be a special gift. The candles is in a cute glass jar with a lid (which I have used for cotton balls) can be re-used. I have an apartment and the candle fills the whole place with the most amazing scent. I love coming home on a warm day and smell this beautiful fragrance. It is such a sweet and warming fragrance and with the gentle glow of the candle burning you can't help but feel amazing.

Peter Alexander with his dog that he brought on sale. That's a statement in itself:) I've worked there and my first gift from my manager was one of these triple scented vanilla caramel candles the big one TAHAA it comes in this beautiful box pinks and white. I love caramel and that's the colour of the candle wax that sits flawlessly in its beautiful glass jar with its matching lid just beautiful. And settled in this non toxic wax are two natural lead free cotton wicks that do burn pure so no splattering of wax or smoke rising from the wicks. The candles ooze a fragrance just sitting there in the jar in the box. On lighting the wicks the vanilla springs into life and blends effortlessly with the caramel and coconut and frankincense and creating a sweet scent that is outta this world, and long after extinguishing the flame the scent lingers in my room. Just put the glass lid back on the the flame just goes out. These candles do have an awesome burning time of 80 hours and I usually let them do a two hour stint so that's about 40 goes. They do last yes they are pricey but when they have 25% off store wide it's not to bad. Yes I buy these to burn.

Glasshouse is my all-time favourite candle brand as they have the most amazing scented candles I have ever smelt. The Rio de Janerio scent is by far my favourite on in their collection. I have it in both the Candle and the room diffuser and I never want to be without that scent in my house. It smells very tropical and summery, almost makes you feel like you're on holiday. It is very relaxing and the pretty thing to accompany a Lush-filled bath. You all need this in your life!
