Big Hug in a Jar: Unwind & De-Stress
I recently purchased this Lemon, Lavender & Eucalyptus candle to create a more relaxing atmosphere in my home, and so far I have been very pleased with the overall experience.The blend of essential oils creates a truly lovely and sophisticated aroma, and the customizable stickers add a fun, personal touch.Pros:+ Soothing Scent: The layered scent notes of eucalyptus, lavender, lemon, and subtle woody undertones create a truly unique and calming fragrance. It's not overpowering, but definitely noticeable and pleasant.+ Burn Time: The promised 50 hour burn time, makes this candle a good value.+ Natural Ingredients: I appreciate that this candle is made with organic soy and beeswax and a natural cotton wick. It seems to burn cleanly and doesn't produce any noticeable soot or smoke until you blow it out. The absence of synthetic additives and chemicals is a big plus for me.+ Customizable Design: The amber glass jar is attractive and looks nice in any room. The included stickers are a fun and unique touch, making this candle a great gift option. I especially appreciate the humorous options.+ Promotes Relaxation: The scent profile is definitely conducive to relaxation and stress relief. I enjoy burning it during my evening yoga practice or while reading a book.Cons:- Scent Strength Could Be Stronger: While I enjoy the subtlety of the scent, some people might prefer a stronger aroma. It seems to take a while for the scent to fully fill a larger room.- Stickers Are Single Use: While the stickers are a fun addition, they are single use. Once you apply one, you can't change your mind or reuse the jar with a different sticker.Who I'd recommend it to:- Anyone who enjoys the scents of lavender, eucalyptus, and lemon.- People looking for a natural, non-toxic candle option.- Those who appreciate a long burn time and high quality ingredients.- Anyone looking for a unique and customizable gift idea.Who might want to look elsewhere:- People who prefer very strong, highly fragrant candles.- Those looking for a purely decorative candle that won't be burned regularly.Additional tips:- Consider trimming the wick before each use to ensure a clean and even burn.- Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the jar on the first burn to prevent tunneling.Overall, this candle offers a delightful and relaxing scent experience. Its high quality ingredients, long burn time, and customizable design make it a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking to create a calming and inviting atmosphere in their home. While the scent might be a bit subtle for some, its gentle aroma and natural composition make it a great choice for those sensitive to strong fragrances. The minor drawbacks are easily outweighed by the candle's many positive features.

Very nice scent: Lavendar and Lemon
I got this as a birthday gift for my son. He loves candles, lemon and lavender. The scent is nice and it really does last a long time. The soy candles seem to last 2-3 times longer than regular wax candles of the same size. This candle is made for gift giving since it comes with several different stickers that you can put on the top of the candle. I chose "Sending you a big hug in a jar". My son likes to light it while he's working on his homework.

Very nice scent
The delicate lavendar scent is very pleasing. Not too strong! The packaging - eh - I could do without the joke stickers. The candle came as shown with the extra three stickers. The box is ripping off the logo of a famous parfumier, and has that awesome (that's sarcasm) white sticker on it, so I wouldn't say the box helps giftability. A little expensive for what you're getting, although it really is burning slow.

Strong but Light Fragrance
I ordered the Lavender + Lemon fragrance from the Kotkas Store and was quite pleasantly surprised at how nice the fragrance is. It's light but strong, if that makes sense. Since it's a blend of soy wax and beeswax, this little 8 oz candle should last at least 2 weeks if I burn it every day for up to 4 hours. Of course, I won't light it every day, so it will last even longer than that. It comes with some silly stickers to put on it in case you want it for a gift, but I like the sticker that's on the lid. It says "Sending you a Big Hug i a Jar." This WOULD make a nice little gift, but I think I'll keep it to light up after a hectic day.

A Bit Pricey
This is a standard single-wick candle. For the price, I feel like you multi-wick candles are a better value. I do enjoy the smell of this one, and I think it’ll last as advertised.The jar itself is aesthetically pleasing and looks good as décor.

Long Lasting, Great Scent
I burn a lot of candles and this one so far has been great! It's very fragrant, quickly filling my room with a relaxing lavender scent. I don't know if I'd say I can really smell the lemon part or the eucalyptus but overall it still smells nice and refreshing. Visually, this item is packaged well and labelled nicely so this would make a great gift to give to someone.I've been burning this candle for about 3 hours every night for the past 7 nights and I am not even halfway through so I'd give the overall burn time a thumbs up.$15 is a bit pricey but I'd still say this is a good buy!
