Seville Row Candle- OK, but disappointing
By Joan Young on
The scent of the Seville Row candle is very nice, but it does not put that fragrance into the air when it is burning!
Considering that I bought this from a mark-down table for $1.99 instead of the $6.39 it originally sold for, I am not going to complain.But if I had paid full price for this candle I would have been very unhappy.
The candle was originally a tall pillar, 3 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall.Using a hot knife, I cut this in half to make two shorter candles.The extra half which is stored in my drawer releases a wonderful scent whenever I open the drawer.But the half on the table, which we light for every meal just doesnt produce the level of fragrance you would expect from a candle that smells so good when it is cold.
There is no description of the fragrance on the wrapping.I would describe it as some combination of cinnamon and fruity.It seemed appropriate for both fall and Christmas, so I bought it.
I also thought that more of the middle of the candle would soften up as it burned, so that I could smooth the cut edges at the top of the candle.But the wax must be a little harder than in some candles, because instead it is burning a well about 1 1/2 inches across down into the middle of the candle, but the edges are barely getting soft.So, this will result in yet another candle that has to have a small candle put in the hole to keep using it, or else Ill have to melt it down and make it into another candle.Or I could throw it away, but I never can bring myself to do that.It seems so wasteful!
