Glasshouse Triple Scented Candles

This candle has a wonderful aroma. It is a massive candle so it has lasted me for yonks. The one downside to it is its sickly sweet and can make me feel a little ill due to the strong smell. But it is a lovely smelling candle. :)

The majority of people who have this candle love it! I unfortunately don't, I am definitely in the minority with this. I was given this candle for a Christmas present, my first impression was that the packaging was really nice, the box is cute and the glass jar makes the candle look really classy and one that you would want on display in your house. Tahaa is very sweeeeet, sickly sweet (for me). I don't light this candle as it is just too sweet for me- walking into Wellington Peter Alexander will let you know exactly what the scent is like. I do however have this in my bathroom on display and it has a wee smell to it which is nice, in that environment. Pretty much it is a ornament in my house :)

I purchased the full sized Coconut and Lime Glasshouse candle as a treat - a luxurious, highly scented and beautiful candle to light over the winter. The scent is fresh, sweet and powerful. Even lifting the lid off without lighting the candle fills the room with a lovely scent. This candle has two wicks which creates a very cosy feel in the room.

I am disappointed in the way that this candle burns. Despite letting it burn for a particularly long time on first use, it burns unevenly and not completely to the edges. This means that I am going to be left with a lot of excess wax around the edges of the candle. Often, one of the wicks will go out, leaving only one burning. There is no breeze around to make this happen and I have never had this trouble with other candles.

The scent is the best part about this candle; however, it is not enough to make me repurchase it. With quite a high price point, I will stick to other brands that are better quality with a lower price.

I am a huge fan of Vanilla candles which is why I purchased this. But for me, the caramel makes it far too sickly sweet. The candle is very strong, so that would be effective if it was a more subtle scent for me.

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!

I make soy wax candles and sell them at craft shows but I also like buying the odd candle to see what other ideas and fragrances are out there. This candle looks great and smells fabulous but is quite costly and doesn't quite scent the house as well as the ones I make or last as long. Cute packaging though.
