First, this candle is awesome because it has a wood wick! For real! The idea is to make the crackly-wood-fire romance without the fireplace. It is not a crackly fire, but it's cute.
Now, as I mentioned in my previous entry I don't like strong smells, so if I had lit this baby as soon as I got it it might have been an unpleasant experience. As it happened I set it out for a little while to just let the ambient good smell roam around. After a little bit I started burning it in my kitchen when I was in the main part of the house and eventually it made it's way to my office where it is currently.
The fragrance is called Snow, described as pine and spiced wood and it's really nice. I hope they bring it back so I can buy it again. I do hope they change the type of ring that comes with it though. It's supposed to be "moonstone" (CZ version), but I don't really feel like it was successful. Still pretty, but I was a little disappointed.
Yes, the candle comes with a ring. It's their whole gimmick. And I was actually patient about it this time! Well, I was for awhile. I did try to "cheat", I'll admit, but it's actually really hard to cheat this and I advise against it.
To address the negative feedback that I heard in the video: I do not have a smoking problem, at all, what-so-ever. I really do think that that woman doesn't know how to maintain her candles. In her video she's in the tub with candles lit and she's got burn marks up the walls and one of the glass containers was broken, so, consider the source. I actually haven't needed to trim the wick in this case at all. I'm really digging the wood wick, I think it works well. I would light it and take a picture, but I'm using some aromatherapy to help me and the wee one with our allergies, so I don't think adding another fragrance right now would be a good idea. Maybe I'll edit one in later.
