WoodWickLarge Hourglass Scented Candle with Crackling Wick, Burn Time: Up to 130 Hours, White Tea and Jasmine

This candle was great at first, lovely scent and loved the crackle. However, as it got to to the bottom of the jar, the glass then exploded. Just glad no one was sitting near it at the time.

This is a first for me from this brand, a sister company from the group that brings us YANKEE CANDLE®.It was hard to light the X-shaped wick the first time, then it was a bit wild, so I quickly had to adjust the height of the wick as advised in the enclosed instructions, once it had cooled down.When lit, it is a nicely subdued ‘posh tea’ fragrance that dominates, to my nose, and scents the whole room.The ‘crackling’ from the wood-wick is soothing to me, taking me back in time to toast and marshmallows by the fire after a cool evening walk.If any of the wick breaks away when lit, there can be a bit of swirly smoke, as also happens when the flame is extinguished (image below refers), although, I find, that the smoke soon disperses.To prevent too deep a well developing, I tend to gently circle the jar at an angle when the wax is still liquid (& the flame is out). There is a yellowy tinge to the settled wax.In my environment, it burns evenly right down, with very little left. After removing the wick, I scrape out the residue and add it to my electric wax melt for another period of the relaxing scent.The glass jar easily cleans up to use as a vase, in my case, so an added bonus.ooOoo※ YANKEE CANDLE®※ WoodWick™ ‘Crackles as it Burns’※ 275 g ~ MEDIUM CANDLE~ FRAGRANCE: WHITE TEA & JASMINE~ CANDLE COLOUR: CREAM~ PRODUCT REF: 92062E📝 ‘Pure white tea with a hint of jasmine gently blends with scents of red cedar and rose.Patented +PLUSWICK® wooden wick ~ CRACKLES AS IT BURNSFRAGRANCE NOTES:❅ TOP: BERGAMOT, TEA ACCORD❅ MIDDLE: ROSE, VIOLET, JASMINE❅ BASE: CEDAR WOOD, AMBER, MUSK’ooOooThe candle jar came impeccably packed, nestling in a cardboard inner in a thick cardboard box and in a sturdy cardboard outer carton, for safe transit.Exactly as currently pictured in the stock images above, the hourglass-shaped jar is reassuringly heavy in hand and the trademark ‘WoodWick’ label with interlocked 'W's is slightly raised on the front.The scent is evident as soon as the stained wood-like top/coaster is removed to reveal the X-shaped, natural wooden wick.The glass jar stands around 10.5 cm high with a base diameter of around 8 cm, narrowing to a slightly slimmer waist and gently tapering out again to around 9 cm at the rimmed top. The lid swells the overall width to around 9.5 cm, the height rising to around 11.5 cm.The lid has a seal to help preserve the scent & keep out the dust and doubles up as a coaster when the candle is burning.The usual candle instructions are on a label on the base of the jar, which peels away for more detail regarding maintenance of the wick. These details are replicated on the removable label on the underside of the lid, which has the ‘WW™’ logo in SILVER coloured lettering.The ingredients are also on the base of the jar, with a warning (last image below refers):📝 ‘MAY CAUSE AN ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION. HARMFUL TO AQUATIC LIFE WITH LONG LASTING EFFECTS’~ LID LABEL:📝 ‘For Best Burn Results:Burn candle 3-4 hours per use. Trim wick to ⅛” before each use. To trim wick, gently break off burned edges with fingertips and discard.Avoid drafts.’~ BASE LABEL:📝 ‘Allow candle to burn until the wax melts out to all edges of the candle container’[16 images attached]

Ich habe dieses Produkt während einer Rabattaktion am Prime Day bestellt.Der Versand erfolgte wie gewohnt schnell und zuverlässig. Die Verpackung war solide und unbeschädigt.Leider erfuhr ich dann beim Auspacken die böse Überraschung, denn die Duftkerze ist leider eine totale Fehlproduktion.Das Kerzenwachs ist auf der einen Seite völlig verklumt und bis oben zum Rand eingefüllt, während sich auf der anderen Seite gar kein Wachs befindet. Der Docht ist dabei komplett ins Wachs eingeschlossen und nur zu erahnen, wenn man sie gegens Licht hält.Die Kerze ist somit völlig unbrauchbar.Über den Duft der Kerze kann ich keine Angaben machen, da der Deckel so mit dem Wachs verschmolzen war, das sich die Kerze nicht ohne Gewalt öffnen ließ.Der Holzdeckel war darüber hinaus an der Oberseite beim Logo ziemlich zerkratzt, was wohl schon vor dem Versand passiert sein muss, da die Verpackung einwandfrei war.Alles in allem sehr enttäuschend. Ein Umtausch war leider auch nicht möglich.

Very expensive candles but I bought this on a deal at £14.99. Brilliant value. I love it when the price goes back up after I have purchased, (sorry potential buyers) because then I know I have truly got a good deal and total value for money!Fireside smells lovely and christmassy actually. I have purchased as a gift for someone. But I really want to keep it for myself...... I would never pay £26.99 for a candle (which it went back up to after i purchased) but at that price, it makes me think it must be a good candle! Arrived perfectly undamaged. No problems. MUST BUY!

Aussehen und Duft sind gut, damit gibt es bei mir keine Probleme. Aber der Lärm! Na klar weiß ich das die Kerze knistern soll, deswegen habe ich sie auch gekauft. Aber ich habe noch kein Kaminfeuer (womit die Kerze ja immer verglichen wird) gehört das so einen Lärm gemacht hat. Der Ton hat auch was von einem Miniatur-Maschinengewehr finde ich... Kann sein dass es auf dem Video nicht so rüber kommt, aber die Kerze ist wirklich laut. Vielleicht sind die kleineren Kerzen angenehmer aber ich werde mir bei dem Preis nicht die Mühe machen das rauszufinden.
