HomeLights Highly Scented Soy Candles Big 33.3 oz for Home. 3 Cotton Wicks, Smokeless Long Lasting 130 hrs in Vanilla Cupcake. 5x6, Great Gift for Women & Men

I bought this candle mostly because the reviews about size intrigued me!I describe myself as a candle snob. I think I have nearly 50 Yankee candles in my home presently, with more than 10 La Jolie Muse candles, and a box full of other brands. I have a very large family room, as well as a huge bedroom. We like strong scents, and we like to actually smell them so 1 or 2 candles just doesn’t do the job.When I got my package, as soon as I opened it, I could smell this candle. It smells AMAZING! It reminds me of one of my husband’s cologne.The jar is a beautiful greenish blue (almost a teal). It’s not a thick glass but it is high quality. This is a jar that can be repurposed after the candle is gone. It is a very large jar so you have many options with whatever you choose to use it for.The big question- how does it burn?I cannot attest to how the candles burns because I cannot use any candle how it’s “traditionally” used.So- I have a very rare lung cancer (not from smoke), and any smoke irritates and makes me pretty sick, so after searching- I found a candle “warming” lamp here on Amazon. It looks like a lamp, and you put the candle on the base, then fit the lamp “shade” over the candle. Turn it on and the light, once on for a few minutes- melts the candle from the top down. NO smoke! And let me tell you- this has made every single candle I have last so long. The candle I have on it now- I use it every 2 days, and it has been on this for 7 MONTHS- and has just reached the halfway point of the jar. And the fragrance is just as strong as in the beginning. The 2 photos show the candle warmer I purchased on Amazon.All in all, this very large candle smells amazing, and honestly you’re not going to find a great smelling candle of this size at a better price. Worth every penny imho.

I have bought 3 of the 6 scents so far and no review really did an in-depth scent description so I'm gonna be the change I want to see in the world. (Eventually I'll order the other 3 and describe those but i can't justify dropping $90 for 3 candles lmao)Review for the candle itself: It's HUGE and heavy in a nice thick frosted votive. It burns cleanly and evenly WITH THE EXCEPTION of right at the beginning, my VR+O candle had slight tunneling due to a wick not being in perfect position. This can be fixed by wrapping some aluminum foil around the top, like a little reverse funnel/tent, which bounces heat back down to the wax encouraging it to melt. Once the candle is even, remove the foil! I didn't need the foil once I burned about 1/5 inch to 1 inch. The S+J never needed the fix. Make sure the candle melts all the way to the edge before you put it out, or it'll start tunneling.The candles last a LONG time. I bought 2 in the middle of August, and while I haven't been burning them every day, I'd estimate that each candle burns for about 65+ hours. They clean out easily too. When they're on the very last drop of wax and then self extinguish, just take a paper towel and wipe the inside out. The wick holders should be very easy to remove as well! Now you have stylish containers for whatever you want!SCENT REVIEW!!!---French Riviera:This smells very "Aquatic". Described as "An ozonic fruity fragrance starts with coconut waters, peach, sea salt, ozonic top notes. Heart notes are aquatic florals, sweet herbal, tea leaves, and base notes are coastal woods, amber, vanilla, tonka bean."The notes that stand out the most are the sea salt and ozone notes. It's quite a fresh scent. The aquatic florals come next, not too strong which I like. Sometimes aquatic florals can be overpowering and almost headache inducing. Lastly, the vanilla and amber are the scents that linger the most, but its definitely more Vanilla than Amber.If you've ever smelled 'Dancing Waters' by Bathandbodyworks, imagine that scent but make it luxe with a little more sweetness.----Velvet Rose and Oud:This is a floriental, with more of the emphasis placed on the floral. If you don't like rose, this isn't for you! Described as "The tender roses send forth the elegant scent developed by saffron, cinnamon and geranium while the ouds, leather and labdanum bring out the lasting fragrance of warmth and richness."The two major notes in this are the rose, and the oud. It smells very feminine, and the oud isn't too overpowering the scent at all. The scent that lingers is a subtle blend of the two. I didn't smell a ton of saffron or cinnamon but there was a hint of the leather present.----Sandalwood and JasmineDescribed as "Embellished by precious sandalwood & cedar, the fragrance is sensuously mixed with spices, jasmine sambac and orange blossom to recall a natural pleasure."Sandalwood is the major note, almost taking over the entire candle (which I love). It's a softer sandalwood so it isn't going to be strong and heavy, and the jasmine is present as well to keep things interesting. It is NOT a strong jasmine smell, so if you were buying this to get more floral, look elsewhere.This is my favorite of the 3 so far and I look forward to getting the other 3 down the road to update this review.

Great size, great scent, smooth burning. Excellent candle

I purchased this product to use as a centerpiece for my coffee table during the month of February. It is well-made and looks great. However, I wasn't a fan of the smell. It didn't smell bad, but it was missing something that I was looking for. Despite this, I still think it is an excellent product overall.

I bought this candle awhile ago. I didn’t burn it often, because it melted unevenly, only in the middle and not around the sides—a sign of a bad candle.I lit it recently. The middle was melted down about halfway when I lit it. A few hours later, as my family and I were getting ready for bed, our son (8), our daughters (6 & 3), and our dog were all standing on the chaise to watch me snuff the candle out. I let the lid sit on top for a bit and then took it off. Then, my son decided to blow at the smoke rising up… then the whole thing EXPLODED. I had glass in my hair… we have burn marks on our carpet, since the flaming hot pieces of glass landed everywhere in roughly a 6’ radius.I immediately threw away the other candle we have in our bedroom, of the same brand. Something was very wrong with this candle. I’ve NEVER seen something like that happen. I’m VERY thankful that my kids only ended up with glass in their hair and a few minor cuts. But even so, UNACCEPTABLE.My carpet caught fire and melted and my hardwood floors got burnt.DO NOT PURCHASE THISIf I was allowed to pick ZERO STARS, I would.

Bought for our wedding and they stayed lit from 4pm until early morning hours. Best deal I could find.

I have ordered from here in the past and the first candle I bought smelled lovely. It burned evenly for all 72 hours. The French Riviera one I currently have is burning unevenly. For whatever reason, mine has a hole in the centre. For the price point, I don’t think think it is matching the quality. I am fairly disappointed. It still smells lovely and the projection is great, but it’s burning so unevenly I don’t know if it will burn all the way through, which will be a waste of such a lovely smelling candle.

It’s pretty to keep on a table and smells great. You do have to like oud. It’s not an overwhelming scent, it’s soft, & keeping it lit for a few hours & blowing it out the smell lingers I would say for 5+ hours? Maybe more. At this point, I’m not sure how long the entire candle burns for. I will definitely repurchase.

Excellent strong scent for the price!

They last at least 6.5 hours.
