(Basil, Lime & Mandarin) 100% Natural Soy Wax Candle by CoCo Benjamin - Highly Scented & Hand-Poured Luxury Candle - Clean Burning Cotton Wick

I love candles, but have been disappointed time and time again with other candles that I've purchased ... for one reason or another. I first received this particular candle as a gift, and after I used up the first one, I had to buy more! I just love it! The scent is subtle yet definitely there, it's fairly long lasting, it burns evenly all the way to the bottom, the glass container is simple yet elegant. The lid is a handy touch (put the lid on as soon as I blow out the candle; it eliminates the brief smokiness that ensues). I do wish the price were lower, but I have to say that I love the candle so much, I'm willing to splurge just a little bit. So far, I've only tried the Basil, Lime & Mandarin scent (so light and clean!), I intend to try some of the others as well.

This is the second purchase of the basil lime mandarin candle! Best for removing cat smells. This candle does not give off an overpowering scent and does not give me a headache like some candles do. I also purchased the apple cedar wood which was a bit strong but the basil lime mandarin is really really good! Love it!

I personally do not like the scent (I think it smells like fancy soap), but my roommate likes it! She smells citrus and basil while I do not. The glass jar is aesthetically pleasing and sturdy and the candle burns up to the edges, preventing tunneling. The scent throw seems decent. I'd like to try other scents from this brand because the candles seem to be good quality.

Nice soy candle. Scent is lovely and not overwhelming. Good value for the size. Comes in a nice amber glass container.

I gave this candle as a gift and the recipient talked so favorably regarding this candle I had to get one for myself. Honestly this candle is more of a 3.5, but you can't give 1/2 stars and 4 was just too many so it has 3. Let me preface that I try to take good care of my candles, I trim the wick between burning; I don't burn for more than 4 hours; and I keep it away from direct sunlight. I love a good candle and can go through a small one like this in about 3 weeks of burning time. I don't know, this one while smelling good, just didn't perform like I thought it should for the price. Let's start with the good. The smell is lovely. It is clean, fresh, and light. This is not an overpowering scented candle, so if you are looking for Yankee Candle this is not the candle for you. The fragrance really did lift your spirts when you smelt it. Additionally, the fragrance dissipated throughout a couple of rooms, so that was nice. It burned well - no weird cliff of wax on the side of the glass or weird pooling. Here are the not so great bits. Upon initially opening the candle, there was wax everywhere. It was all over the inside of the cap. Not like it had melted, but maybe evaporated (if candles can do that) and resolidified on the lid. So it was really messy when opening. When burning it looked like the fragrance oils were separating from the wax and pooling on the top; however after it cooled it didn't seem to be an issue, but I didn't touch the cooled wax to see if it was oily either. After burning, when the wax cooled, it was streaked with soot. Not a clean appearance so I had to keep it capped when not in use. So I don't know if I got a candle from a not so ideal batch or if this is just how these candles behave. This is a first for me on the not so great bits. I liked the smell of the candle really well and I am willing to give this brand another shot, just not right away.

I rarely write negative reviews because I like to keep positive, but this candle is absolutely awful and I just don't want others to have to deal with my experience. Few reasons why: 1.) This candle does not smell like anything when it's burning. Smells like NOTHING. Great marketing with zero execution. 2.) It burns incredibly quick and has wax buildup on the sides making for an uneven burn every time. I burned through this candle in less than 30 hours. The average burn rate for a candle is 5-7 hours /ounce with smaller candles like this at the higher end of the range. This candle is nowhere near the industry average (more like 3.5 hours/oz) which is an indicator of awfffful quality. 3.) At $19 for 8.1oz candle, you're getting $2.35/oz. which doesn't sound bad, but you get what you pay for. Because of this awful candle, I will no longer experiment with new candles online. I will only go to the ones I know. AVOID THIS PRODUCT

I've repurchased many times in different scents! These candles have a lovely smell and are well worth the price. The burn time is a bit short, but this could just be because I keep them lit for hours on end since I am so obsessed with the smell, so I run through these in just a couple of weeks. My favourite scent so far is the Basil, Lime & Mandarin. It's a wonderful alternative to some more expensive brands. My favourite holiday scent is Blue Spruce. Perfect for the winter season.

I bought the Basil, Lime & Mandarin scented version as a gift which was well received. The scent combination is complex and fresh smelling, I liked it so much I will be buying my own. I've been present when the giftee has burned the candle and the scent permeates the house but is not overpowering. I am allergic to fragrance but because this candle uses essential oils for the scent I can enjoy it without a reaction. Also, the candle has been long lasting and it doesn't burn a well in the center.

you cant smell this candle.

Wish I could give it a 0 star. NO SCENT AT ALL. Do NOT waste your money.
