Pleasant & Strong Scent, Presentation Could Be Better
I got the Single Barrel scent of this candle for my husband’s office. He’s a big fan of bourbon. Getting candles online can be tricky since you can’t smell them in person, but we were both very happy with the scent. WAX & WIT advertises this as a “men’s candle”, but with the vanilla notes in the Single Barrel scent, it’s actually pretty neutral. Because of that, we like to light it in the kitchen or bathroom as well.<br /><br />When lit, the scent fills a small room quickly, but it’s not too overpowering. In larger spaces, it takes longer to notice but this is a pretty small, one-wick candle so I wouldn’t expect it to perform like a larger two or three-wick candle. After frequent use, it seems that this candle will last a while, but unless you get it on sale, the price seems a bit high for the candle size.<br /><br />The one disappointing aspect about this candle is that the outside smudges very easily. It arrived smudged from either hand or wax oils. Wiping it with a damp cloth helped, but as soon as you touch it again, the smudges are back. The matte black container looks nice from afar, but in practice, a different material might’ve been better for the look of this candle. That minor disappointment aside, this is a great candle from WAX & WIT.
