Having received a little tip-off about
these from the lovely Fleur de Force, I couldn’t help myself buying a couple of
these candles to try. WoodWick Candles have a wooden wick (I state the obvious) so there is a sort of burning, occasionally crackling sound
which I personally love, particularly at this time of year – cue super cosy
feeling! They also have a fab range of scents and I love the chunky glass and
wooden packaging, it feels luxe yet I can't say I'm wowed by the label design (but that's another story!).
One really annoying thing though – I cannot
find anywhere I could sniff these in Leeds so I had to take a bit of a punt
over which scents I might fancy. Bit of a shame really and even now I’m looking
for a third to put on the Christmas List and I have literally no idea what to
go for! Anyway, I chose to go for Cinnamon Chai on the boyfriend's request, a lovely spicy, warming scent
and Amber Twilight (not a terribly, helpful or descriptive name!), a woody,
floral fragrance which I thought would be right up my street!
I absolutely LOVE these candles! They sound
and look so beautiful when they burn (the candle has quite a big, ‘licky’
flame) and they burn incredibly well down the jar – so much better than all the
other glass jar candles I have. The scent throw with these is also absolutely
great, particularly with the Cinnamon Chai which I found quite overpowering to smell
cold when it arrived but couldn’t stop raving about (just ask my other half) as
soon as I started burning it. It's definitely my current favourite as we step into Winter. I’m often tempted by the likes of Neom, Jo Malone
or Diptyque but just can’t justify the price, yet the candles I pick up in TK
Maxx, no matter how carefully selected, leave me disappointed in both scent
throw and with their ability to burn down nicely. I find this a fantastic
compromise at £15.99, proving much longer lasting and attractive than cheaper
options. It’d make a fantastic Christmas gift with a slightly different twist!
Have you tried these? Can you recommend me
a flavour which I haven’t tried yet? I need a hand!
