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.
The Essano Sweet Pea & White Orchird candle scent is lovely, perfect for the bathroom or any other room that you want to smell super clean and fresh. It's definitely one of the more subtle scents in the range, but it's perfect for making a space smell fresh without being obtrusive. I personally like a stronger scent, but this candle is still lovely. It comes boxed in the most gorgeous packaging, which would be great for giving as a gift since it's so pretty. The frosted glass-style glass is really pretty, the candle burns cleanly but definitely is a bit smokier when you blow it out than other candles. Overall a lovely product.
