Olivia Grant- Candle: Hearth & Cedar — 10 oz glass jar“I bought this for my living room after a recommendation and it’s been steady background scent for three weeks. The cedar is warm but not overpowering; there’s a soft hint of vanilla underneath that keeps it cozy. Burn is even, minimal tunneling when I trim the wick, and the glass stayed cool to the touch. Scent throw is medium — fills a medium-sized living room but won’t compete with cooking smells. Packaging arrived intact and simple. My only gripe is the lid doesn’t seal tightly, so I lose a little fragrance between uses.”Pros: even burn, subtle layering, attractive jar.Cons: lid fit, medium (not strong) throw.

Sofia Alvarez - Candle: Sunlit Citrus — 12 oz jar“I wanted a bright citrus for the kitchen but this fell flat. Initial scent is pleasant lemon-lime but it fades quickly; after a couple hours I couldn’t smell it unless I was right next to the candle. Candle left a thin wax film on the jar interior and the wick curled a bit. If you want a light fragrance for small rooms only, fine — but not for anyone expecting a long-lasting citrus boost.”Pros: bright initial scent, looks fresh.Cons: poor longevity, weak throw.

Marcus Lee — Candle: Rain on Slate — 8 oz tin“Perfect desk candle. Clean, green top notes with a mineral slate undertone that makes it refreshing without being floral. Burned for several 3-4 hour sessions and the scent remained consistent. No soot, and the tin is low-profile so it doesn’t clutter my home office. Would buy again for work-from-home days.”Pros: consistent scent, clean burn, compact.Cons: tin shows fingerprints.
