A no-nonsense candle that won't completely melt your wallet
This review is for M&Sense's "Lavender Citrus 100% Natural Wax" candle.I know we live in an age now where we're so used to companies just saying whatever, no matter how grounded their claims may be, in order to sell a product. Rest assured that with this product line of candles, everything this product claims on its product page is absolutely true.These candles smell fantastic. I've only tried the lavender citrus one so far, but it SMELLS like lavender and citrus, not wax, smoke and something vaguely chemical.They burn for a LONG time. I don't let my candles burn any longer than 2-4 hour intervals at a time before letting the wax settle and reharden again, which I feel is reasonable, but doing this, my candle has endured for at least 60 hours so far, and there's still about an inch more wax to burn through at the bottom, so I assume that when this product states "lasts 65 hours is properly cared for" this is exactly what they meant.They're not joking about the double-wick thing either. I already mentioned these don't "smell fake", but the one thing this candle has never done yet is what they call "tunneling", which is the un-evening burning of a candle where you've got a mountain on one side and a valley on the other. I can't STAND when candles do that, so the fact these candles are designed SPECIFICALLY to counter that with a more even surface burn and better fragrance throwing makes them, imo, a better burning candle than the absurdly-priced-yet-familiar Yankee Candle.Lastly, I love the packaging. I'm a DIY creative as well as home life hacker, and the candle protectors they ship inside the candles are excellent for soaking up spills, using as a gentle scrub, or incorporating in projects, in addition to their natural recycling value.These are great candles that will smell high-quality and last for a long time in your home without breaking your wallet or making you have to choose between whether you're going to eat tonight or whether your apartment will smell nice. They ship quickly and the packaging is sustainable and professional-looking. If I was tasked with designing my own candle, I'd want it to be like these. Highly recommended.
