LA JOLIE MUSE Vanilla Zest Scented Candles for Home,19 oz Natural Soy Wax

Very beautiful candle. I wouldn’t say it smells like vanilla but it still smells really good. Very happy with these. They came packaged very well and gift wrapped adorably. I wanted to make sure the glass wasn’t broken so I was sad to unwrap them as they were gifts.

The candle comes beautifully packaged and ready to be gifted. It’s gorgeous and smells great. One thing I would change is the “vanilla bomb” description to “lemon bomb” because vanilla is definitely not the most prominent scent as alluded to by the title.

I find this candle absolutely beautiful. I chose it for purposeful and intentional use during my devotions, family time, and anytime else that I felt was important. I noticed this morning a lung irritation developed again immediately following lighting it for my second time. I noticed within 5 mins a lapsed time. I am so disappointed but I just cannot use this candle scent. I rarely have issues with soy candles and vanilla anything. And this scent is light and pleasant. It is certainly with this candle exclusively for me as I used in a very big room with great ventilation and experienced similar effects. I didn’t realize it until this morning when I lit it the second time and I rarely need an inhaler or experience these of symptoms. I would love to exchange out for a different one. I discovered that also, the candle is not able to be returned or exchanged now as I did not keep the box it shipped in. 😔

I’ve bought over 20+ of the La Jolie Muse candles, a mix of wood wicks and braided cotton wicks. I have provided a comparison video to demonstrate my point. This vanilla bomb/zest compared to the Santorini salt air is remarkably different. This is the first La Jolie Muse Wood-wick candle I bought that burns poorly. 1) the wood wick is not burning thoroughly enough to evaporate the wax 2) the wax that does melt covers the wood wick , causing it to smother the wood wick 3) I have poured out some wax after it melted to expose the wood wicks 4) I have used a candle warmer which does not evaporate any of the wax at all 5) the fragrance of this candle is very weak, especially compared to the other 20+ candles that I’ve purchased from La Jolie Muse 6) the crackling sound is non-existent. The crackling that you hear in the video is from the Santorini salt air candle 7) the flame on the wood wick was so weak, it would self-extinguish 8) because the wax is not evaporating when it melts and the woodwick burns down, the wax covers the wick extinguishing it. 9) I am disappointed by this candle, even though the faint scent is wonderful. Do not judge these candles by one bad candle. I have purchased over 20, and this is the first bad candle that I’ve gotten.

This candle is so beautiful just the jar alone and the vanilla scent is not overpowering just relaxing! The thing that impressed me most was the candle came boxed and gift wrapped!! Cute bow and message as well! Perfect if you need a gift ASAP!! Very impressed with the packaging. Perfect addition to my coffee table. I purchased the large candle (19oz) and it is perfect. The jar is so beautiful you can repurpose it for just about anything. Would definitely buy again and will!!
