Beautiful Oversized Candle with a Reusable Container
Value Rating5 stars. At around $40, the price feels fair considering the size (35 oz) and the quality of the container. You’re getting a lot of candle, and the vessel itself is sturdy and reusable, which adds to the overall value.Specifications• Brand: M&SENSE• Scent: Vanilla Sandalwood• Wax Type: Soy wax (paraffin-free)• Weight: 35 oz / 990 g• Wicks: 3 cotton wicks• Claimed Burn Time: Up to 150 hours• Container Dimensions: 7.09” W x 8.23” HMy ReviewThe first thing you notice about this candle is the size. It’s big. At 35 ounces, there’s a lot more wax here than what you typically get from most candles in this price range. Also, the three-wick setup also helps the scent spread more evenly when it’s burning.But honestly, the container is what really sold me. The finish looks like an abstract oil painting with blues, rust tones, and cream colors. I normally don’t decorate with blue, but the design works because it looks more like a piece of art than a plain colored jar. The label on the front also appears to be actual metal instead of a printed sticker, which gives the whole thing a higher-end feel.I always pay attention to candle containers because I like to reuse them once the wax is gone, and this one is perfect for that. You could refill it with wax, use it as a planter (with rocks or a smaller pot inside for drainage), or just use it as a decorative container. The possibilities are endless because it’s a high quality large pot. You could even use it to hold kitchen utensils!As for the scent, the vanilla and sandalwood are very well balanced. Excellent throw. I was a little hesitant because sandalwood can sometimes take over a fragrance, but here the vanilla softens it nicely. To be honest, I kind of thought about maybe regifting it just because I really don’t like the color blue in my house but after my husband smelled the candle, he said nope we’re keeping it!

Great Scent and Burn, Minor Packaging Flaws
This M&SENSE Vanilla Sandalwood candle smells amazing right out of the box. The warm vanilla mixed with woody sandalwood fills the room nicely without being overpowering. It burns super evenly across all three wicks, no tunneling or weird hot spots after several hours, and the flame looks steady and clean. The jar itself looks really nice, and the packaging was solid when it arrived.That said, the lid doesn't fit super tight – it stays on but wiggles a bit if you shake it, which is kinda annoying for extinguishing (I usually put the lids on to let the flame burn out, I would not do that with this. I also noticed some of the coating on the glass rim near the top is a little worn or chipped, like it got scuffed in shipping, maybe. Overall solid 4 stars though; I'd grab another if the price matches similar big soy candles out there.

M&Sense gets candles right and very rarely disappoints.
I have about a dozen or so candles by M&Sense and they are all typically exceptionally good candles.This 35 ounce 3 wick candle though is even better than the usual 19.4 ounce versions I buy.I like that this one comes in a resin container as the glass jars of the others have been known to crack. I have about 4 of my 7 large 2 wick 19.4 ounce jar candles with heat stress cracks in them. Fortunately the cracks are above the wax line so I can still use them. I just have to very, very cautious. None of my other candles in resin containers have had any issues with cracking so I assume this one won't either.The container is beautiful too. A beautiful "paint run" pattern is shades of blue, red, and brown looks sophisticated and modern. The lid matches perfectly and forms a tight enough seal to prevent fragrance degradation.The fragrance is lush and rich and warm. A warm, sweet vanilla hits right up front but isn't a dessert vanilla or a candy vanilla. It is followed by balmy, rich sandalwood and a slightly musky base. It really is a divine fragrance and is perfect for adding a sunny feeling during the cooler months..As always with M&Sense candles the wax is high-quality, paraffin-free, soy wax. Three cotton wicks burn cleanly for about 150 hours total burn time. This large candle tours a 1200 square ft scent throw meaning it will fill the average room with fragrance quite nicelyAt about $40 this candle is a reasonable price but with the current discount available is an even better deal.

Giant Soy Candle in Decorative Glass
I really like the large size of this 3 wick candle in a pretty painted glass jar. The paint colors are a royal blue mixed with lighter blues and a deeper rust color mixed with tans. The diameter at the top is 5” and it is approximately 6 1/4” tall. This candle is tall, heavy and sturdy and is not likely to be knocked over easily, which means it is perfect to have on hand if the power ever goes out. With three wicks, it adds enough light to help you to see in the dark. For me, the Vanilla Sandalwood scent is more on the vanilla side. I don’t smell very much of the sandalwood scent. Since most folks like vanilla I think you will like the scent overall. It comes with a gold metal lid to match the gold tag on the front of the candle. The only thing I don’t like is that the metal lid scratches off the paint along the white rim of the glass at the top of the candle. While it’s not super noticeable, I wanted to point this out in case it was something that would bother you. The best parts of this candle are that it’s three wicks, it is made of soy wax, and burns for 150 hours. The pretty paint on the outside allows it to blend in nicely with your home decor if you have any blues or tans in your house. Given the size of this candle, along with the fact that it’s soy, I think the price is in line with the value you receive.
