I bought the Juniper Berry and White Thyme after seeing great reviews. The smell of the candle is okay but not very strong (my MOR candle is much more scented even it's a lot smaller) but it's the way that it's burning that is driving me a bit nuts at the moment! I'm not sure if there's something wrong with the wick (it's at 0.5cm as the instruction says) but the flame flickers like crazy and is very distracting when I light candles to relax. Plus, the the black soot has now stained the white glass and is looking less than average. Not worth it.

Reviews
My first of their candles was their limited edition christmas candle, which I loved. So when it burnt out I went out and treated myself to the vanilla one. I love their candles, the shape of the glass and the white of the candle itself reflect so prettily in the room when you're burning it. Love their candles!
I have been burning this candle for the last 4 days and i am obsessed what a gorgeous scent, I wasn't sure about it when i smelt in unlit and in the jar as it seemed so strong and over powering but after lighting it the scent is nice and subtle but still there ive had so many compliments even one from my 16 year old brother who wanted to know what smelt so good haha,This candle will last ages like i said i have been burning it all day for 4 days and it has barely gone down at all, The packaging is to die for simple but so pretty and the jar in which the candle is in is amazing i am love and cant wait to purchase more scents LOVE!!!
I've never been one for scented candles. I know exactly what my problem was. When I think scented candles i think the awful smell the cheap ones put out, and then I see the $20+ price tag and think "there is no way I'm going to spend THAT on a CANDLE".
Last Christmas I was lucky enough to win my first ever grown up scented candle. It was the white thyme and juniper berry one and not to sound ungrateful but when I knew what it was I had it earmarked as a gift for Mum. I opened the box and was immediately hit by the most incredible smell. So I kept it - I couldn't help myself! Sorry Mum.
I was expecting herb and gin and what I got was just the most gorgeous sweet fruity but adult scent. It's intoxicating. Far FAR exceeds my expectations. The best part is that, unlike the cheap candles of my youth, the smell stays true while burning. My whole house subtly smells gorgeous while it's burning.
The glass the candle comes in is classic and understated, nothing that would offend anyone's taste.
It lasts a really long time, which I wasn't expecting so it's definitely worth the price tag.
I think I may just be a convert.
Tips: It glows ever so slightly when lit but you won't be able to tell during the day so be careful if you plan to leave the house (I have attached a reminder note to my carkeys before for fear of leaving it unattended).
I have been using this scented range of Aromatherapy products since it first came out. I use both the candle sizes and the Diffusers and Lotions, Room Sprays etc, so I'm an avid long term fan. My favourite fragrance is Sweet Orange and Jasmine as it is a light,natural and very fresh fragrance. I also really like the Christmas ranges they come out with like one year it was a caramel and apple and it reminded me of toffee apples when it was burning, then there was a peppermint and berry one which was a few years back and that was so nice but was only a short time:-(. I have had an issue with the range once when a candle just smelt like wax and i contacted the manufacturer and they gladly replaced it and sent a voucher and appreciated the feedback as they said unless they get told they cant fix the issues which i appreciated and agreed with. The voucher I got was for more than the item i queried so they more than stood by their product.
Tips: Fav for me is Sweet Orange and Jasmine and there is outlet stores that stock them especially in Auckland , not sure on others.
I received the Natural Chef's Candle for Christmas. It does smell nice when you sniff the jar. I like scent of lemongrass and lime. I used to work in a Thai spa and cafe and we used to have lemongrass essential oil in the burners it's actually really relaxing. So although a candle that's meant to deoderize smells in the kitchen and we mainly use it for the bathroom, isn't the typical type of candle you give someone I quite like the scent. This 200g candle comes in a ceramic simple black cup with the company name and description of the candle in white writing. Not super flash but it's designed to deoderize the air in the kitchen and the black cup makes things like grease and stuff stand out less than say a pretty clear or white jar. This is made out of natural plant waxes like their other candles and the burn time is supposed to be about 30 hours. Now if I sniff the candle up close it does smell like it would have a good scent throw if I lit it, but surprisingly that isn't the case. Even after having it lit for about 30 minutes and even if the wax melts to the edges of the candle for a good even burn, I get a faint whiff of the scent. It's better than if I wasn't burning anything but for a deoderizing candle I sort of expected more. It does say it on the bottom of the jar that to maximize performance to burn for 3 or 4 hours at a time but despite burning it for that long I still don't get that much scent throw even in a small room. We do have it in the bathroom but I think the majority of the deoderizing that we get happens when the candle is blown out much like lighting a match can cover a smell. When the candle is put out the wick gives off a lot of smoke. Another thing is the lovely lemongrass and lime scent doesn't linger in the air after you extinguish the flame. I do like the scent of this candle but I don't think I would purchase this just because I would like my candles to have more scent throw. I think for about about the same price with other brands I can get candles with more scent throw and probably less smoke when I put it out.
Tips: To get the most burning time out your candle you're going to want to make sure you have this candle burning evenly. So have it lit for about an hour at least till the wax is melted to the edges.
This scent is one my all time favourites now, thanks to the the Sweet Orange and Jasmine Theraputic Natural Wax Candle and also the diffuser by The Aromatherapy Co. LOVE the fragrance, it's so light and summery and pretty. The candle itself is wonderful. It comes in a really good size, with a very minimal and pretty glass jar that glows softly when the candle is lit. The scent emitted is very comforting and homely. This candle burns evenly, and once your done provides a lovely jar for other purposes.
The candle I am reviewing is the sweet lime and mandarin one. I picked this up on a whim - I really wanted an Ecoya candle but this was cheaper, so I got this.
The box it comes in is really cute - I like how it looks natural and almost recycled. The candle itself comes in a really nice looking jar (that I am definitely going to repurpose), and is a really decent size.
This burns easily and I haven't had problems with the wick disappearing. However I won't be buying this or any candles from the Aromatherapy Co because the candle isn't all that scented.
Perhaps I got an old candle or just got a bad one, but the scent when burning it is only JUST perceptible. I have scented candles from the Warehouse that pump more scent out than this.
Needless to say that I am super disappointed in this - especially considering the price. I wouldn't recommend these candles based on my experience just because there are cheaper options that perform way better.
Tips: Get a candle or melt from candlecrush.co.nz - they are cheaper and smell incredible.
I LOVE these candles! The fact that there are so many scents to choose from, as well as this particular large size means that you get a decent amount of burning time so you ultimately get what you are paying for. The overall look of this candle means that you can put it anywhere without it looking out of place and the smell is not too overpowering. I always get complimented when I burn these candles - everybody seems to love them! :D
Its no secret i am an Aromatherapy co addict and this product doesnt fail to impress. Cocoa and vanilla is my fave scent from Aromatherapy Co, it its comfortable, relaxing and inviting. These candles smell beautiful, they are long lasting and they look great wherever you display them. Fantastic for any stressful environment or simply for your home and even more fantastic as a gift.
Tips: Team up with a matching diffuser for longer lingering scent.
