Surmanti Eco Soya Candle Review

Okay, so everyone who knows me knows the story of how I got this. Short and sweet: It had been hiding in my bathroom cupboard for just under a year. I never knew what it was.

I was so excited when I found this as I have been wanting to try Surmanti forever and they're sooo expensive!! So, obviously I did what anyone else in my position would've done and I lit it straight away.

First off, it's really hard to light. I use two matches every time. The wick is so thick you have to warm it up first with the first match by the looks of it...

The scent I have is Wild Roses, and it's a very subtle, yet pleasing scent. It's a sophisticated scent. I love how it makes the room smell even the next day. I especially love it on rainy/awful weather days when you don't have to open the doors/windows.

They claim the candle lasts 50 hours, but I'm not sure if that is the case really. I haven't even used it for ten hours and it's already almost half (yes, I have the 250g).

The packaging is beautiful though, a sturdy black glass holder with Surmanti's signature gold coin on it.

You can use it as a massage oil too (which I read on the review below a couple of days ago and tried it myself. I think it's more of a solid perfume type of thing, as it makes you smell incredible (and yes, I actually use it as solid perfume, well, melted solid perfume anyways.)

I don't know if I would buy it again, I love the smell and the elegance surrounding it, but I think $40 is a bit much for something that's not going to last 50 hours - but i'll keep you updated!

I Love this range! Lives up to its long burning name and fills the room once it gets going. I'm fussy when it comes to candles but this is worth the money and really well priced too! The sleep easy candle is my favourite as I have sleeping issues and it helps me drift off

I love the black glass candle holders with the gold stamp. It definitely stands out on my dresser from my other candles. I was definitely drawn to the sophisticated, gorgeous black glass holder with the gold stamp that has the company's logo. I thought it would look elegant on my dresser and once I finished burning the candle I could use the empty candle jar to hold my used makeup brushes and then when my brushes are clean I just pop the lid back on and it looks like a candle on my dresser. The scent I have is Lime and Coconut, it definitely smells like a natural coconut scent with a hint of lime at the end, it's not a super strong scent but this candle definitely has a good scent throw. About ten minutes after lighting it I start getting whiffs of coconut in my room and as it continues to burn the scent permeated my room more. My bedroom isn't large so I can't comment on how long it would take for a larger room. I usually like to burn it for about 2 hours at a time, so the candle wax melts at the edges to prevent tunneling. It takes about 40 minutes to an hour for the wax to melt to the edges so this definitely is a long burning candle. I've lit this at least ten times and I am just under half way through the jar. I don't think I'll get 50 hours of burn time I'll probably get more like 40 but this is still a lot of use. When candle has been burned long enough so that the wax level is low enough that you see the flame flickering through the glass, the flame looks purple through the glass. That purple flame makes for a much softer light or flicker than a clear jar, so definitely a darker, softer ambiance if you don't have any other lighting in your room. I definitely think this candle wax is long burning and I definitely got more burn time and scent throw with this brand than I did with Ecoya. The coconut and lime scent I like but it's not my fave, I would've preferred another scent but this was the only scent that was available for me to grab a bargain on and I really liked the glass candle jar so I went for it. I probably will repurchase another candle when this one is finished in a different scent or perhaps one of their massage candles.

I bought one of these candles lime & coconut and it smells so good.

The lady who sold it to me said it has about 50 hours burning time, which I would agree with. I am almost finished this candle.

It makes the room smell nice, and the black glass jar it comes in glows when lit, so gives a really nice mood to the room.

You can use the wax as a massage oil, which works really well and feels nice on your skin.

I love soy candles, and this one is fantastic, highly recommended!

My darling boyfriend gave me a surmanti creme brulee massage candle for my birthday. It will go down as my all time most memorable birthday yet. It was packed so beautifully, I felt very special opening all the tissue paper. There was even a little book inside telling me that I was terrific. The smell and texture of the melted soy was very sensual. I would highly recommend surmanti products. I was surprised to see it was made in New Zealand, as it looked like a luxury overseas brand.

I was a massage candle virgin before trying this little wonder out.

First thing's first I'll get the "what I don't like about this product" out of the way.

So there's only the one Issue I have with this massage candle and that Is, When the wick and candle get quite low It's difficult to light and get the melted wax out without It running over the wick/flame and putting It out, So when It get's low you need to be careful.

I brought this after getting a sample size In the sample bar box when they were still up n running, I fell In love with It so had to buy the full size mumma.

I just love all of Surmanti's packaging, It's a beautiful black thick glass with a lovely golden stamp/logo on the front, I like that the lid Is quite sturdy and seal's really well.

I got the coconut 'N' Lime massage candle.

Okay well my first Impression of this massage candle was wowee It smell's flipping amazing! Like so good you could just eat It, You can really smell the coconut In It and the lime Is nicely mixed amongst It.

I love being on the recieving end of the massage with this one as my skin just suck's It up leaving It feeling fabulously sexy and soft, as well as leaving me smelling amazing.

I found that It can take a wee while for the candle to melt for the amount of oil that you need, I had to wait maybe around 5 minute's of burning time until I could start using, which was fine.

I found that a little goes along way and Is rather easy to smooth across the skin and work with.

While massaging the oil doesn't go dry too quickly so therefore you can work the area enough before having to reach for more oil from the candle.

I got this sometime last year and I still have enough left for a lot more massage's, and I get one maybe 2-3 a month, So It last's the distance, and It Is so worth the price.

I had the scent coconut and lime. Not being a massive fan of lime, I was pretty sure that I wouldn't like this scent. However, upon first sniff I instantly fell in love.

As this is soy this burned for a long time and the scent was super powerful. I only needed to light it for maybe 30 mins before blowing it out as the fragrance was so strong that 30 mins was enough to perfume my house.

The jar felt heavy and well made and can easily be cleaned when the candle has burned up and repurposed. Once the candle melted down to about a third, it did get a little difficult to light the wick and eventually I couldn't reach it any more.

As this scent was so delicious, I scraped the wax out and used it as a wax melt so I didn't waste any product. Then I cleaned the jar out and use it to store hair ties :)

This is expensive but it is definitely worth it. This throws the scent out amazingly, looks beautiful and makes you feel luxurious. If my bank account allowed it I would definitely purchase this again but my no spend says NO!

I was give the Cocoa Vanilla Massage candle for my birthday. It was the first time I came across this brand and I must say I feel in love at first site ♡

The gift was a very nicely presented cylindrical cardboard case. When opened I found a layer of five tissue wrapping a thick, heavy yet elegant black jar with a self sealing lid. Iinside this black jar was the candle. It was a gift that kept on giving!!

I could already smell the scent of the candle before lighting it. The scent was soft and smooth yet deep enough that I only needed to burn the candle for half an hour and my home was very nicely filled with the cocoa vanilla scent. I was able to extinguish the flame buy simply placing the lid back on the glass jar. The scent continued to linger throughout the home for many hours.

I have on occasions used the candle as a massage oil. It is extremely effective as a massage oil, it provides a nice easy glide over the skin and slowly does absorb into the skin without leaving any residue needing to be wiped off.

The estimated 50 hours burn time is a generous indication.

This is definitely my favorite candle and is what I always purchase when I'm needing a gift.

I was lucky to be gifted the Surmanti Lime and Coconut candle and it definitely exceeded my expectations when it comes to scented candles.

Being a self confessed scented candle connoisseur, I've had my fair share of dud scented candles, where you can barely smell the fragrance.

Surmanti candles deliver and delight! My home from lounge to bedrooms all become wrapped in the scent of Lime and Coconut, not just one room!

My candle is the larger size and has lasted me 8 months. The scent is strong, but comfortable and not headache causing. I particularly like the sweetness of the coconut and the freshness of the lime scent, which reminds me of my time in Hawaii.

The soy wax is pure white, clean and is perfectly complimented by the black jar. The best thing is the air tight lid, which easily extinguishes the flame and keeps the candle fresh. I'm looking forward to buying my next Surmanti candle and trying alternative scents.

I purchased one of this at Christmas time in the scent Christmas Lilly and it did not disappoint.The candles are just gorgeous and the scent was exactly like having Christmas Lillies in my house without the allergens.They burn for a long time and look so stylish on my table I will definitely be purchasing other candles.
