I received this wonderful candle as a gift from a very wonderful woman. It was on my BR list (and personal) wishlist for a long time, and so when I was surprised with this at Christmas time I was so very excited. I love candles!
The candle is in a frosted jar with very minimal writing, and a lid that pops on and off with suction magic. You can clearly see on the outside of the candle how much you have left, which is always quite handy. I removed the lid straight away and had a deep sniff, and it did smell a little bit lemony. I got a stronger smell of vanilla, though, or the cheesecakey part of the smell. I was expecting a tangy lemon, rather than creamy lemon... but I guess cheesecake is creamy so, it fits.
As I burned it the smell got more vanillary, and the throw of the candle was quite good too, even when it's not burning. I did think the wick was a bit long and made quite a high flame, but cutting the wick fixes this problem easily. I also haven't burned this for the 50 hours, nor have I been timing how long it's been lit for, but it's lasting quite a while as it lives in the bathroom now. I would probably repurchase from this brand, but maybe not this smell again.
Why, yes it can!
I was very excited to get a trial invite for this candle. Over the last few months, I've been really into lighting candles and having the scent take over my room. I don't think I've ever heard of this brand before and I certainly never thought lemon cheesecake could ever be a replicated scent.
This comes in a large yellow box, with the candle secured inside. I like how they say on the box that you will probably want to eat it but they don't recommend you too! As soon as I got this, I knew I needed to give it a good sniff to see what it really smelled like. I was expecting maybe some kind of tangy lemon. The reality is so much better though. It really does smell like cheesecake. I can smell the sweetness from the base, and a tangy cream cheese scent and of course the lemon. If I could go the rest of my life with this candle permanently attached to my nose, I'd be a very happy girl.
I enjoy the packaging of this candle as well. It's a very heavy glass with a lid. I like that it only has a small pealable sticker of what the candle is so I could easily repurpose this candle for makeup brush storage once I'm finished. It looks lovely sitting on display as well. It is a bit cheaper then Ecoya candles but it looks just as good.
I've used about a third of this candle already in just the week from having it, so I think you can say I have really enjoyed it. It smells really good straight from lighting it but it definitely needs a good couple of hours burning to get a better scent going. It's not overpowering at all, it's actually more on the light side. I do wish it was a more intense smell as I really can't get enough of this. It made my lounge smell good, but didn't travel to the rest of my house.
I could definitely see myself wanting to buy this candle after I've finished this one. So far, I've never even finished a large candle before but this one will absolutely get used up. I'll be looking more into this brand too. I haven't checked their website before but I'd love to see what other amazing scents they have come up with. Thanks Beauty Review for letting me trial this and starting up another obsession!
