Okay okay okay.... so I had to write a RAVE review for these guys. The ONLY "negative" review I've read and can see being of any relevance is the one about the small room/ black smoke issue. Not 100% sure on total burn hours from the first one I ordered, but it has lasted me 2 months of pretty habitual/ multi-hour burning (so far, and still has several more burn hours left at least! Still about an inch of wax left in the jar). None of my wicks have had any issues; I have not tested out the customer service with the company, but I would be interested to know if the broken handle/ wick issue that other reviewers mentioned would have been easily rectified. I wouldn't blame a broken handle on a glass mason jar on the seller, that was likely damaged in shipping... and it's a GREAT, lonnnnnng-burning, beautifully scented candle for ~$10 so it's not going to be delivered in a friggin' tank of armour...!!!! (first world problems, right?!) Get a grip. Amazon has never denied me a return/ exchange when a product arrived damaged.
SO, shall we proceed with the raving? Alrighty then.
I have purchased 3 candles from these guys, 2 of which were this very scent. I have a large open front room/ dining room/ kitchen, and in that giant space, ONE candle gives the whole area an amazing scent (we're talking roughly 600-700 square feet here, folks). Oh, did I mention I have 4 cats (along with 4 litter boxes) in this big open area? Yeah, it can get pretty ripe in a room when they lay a fresh log down! BEFORE OOCC candles entered my life, catching the whiff of various things could encourage a room to be cleared! Roommate with their stinky shoes/ feet? Boyfriend cooking salmon for dinner? Come home to a crawfish boil? Fish jump out of the tank while you were at work? None of those things will bother you for long once you get OOCC candles in your life!
Now, when I burn my OOCC candle, when you first walk in, the scent is distinctly noticeable, and people have been fooled that something good was being made in the kitchen at first whiff.. mmmmm, MMMMM that there smells good, don't it?! NOMPALICIOUS!! Yeah, buddy! No more issues for noses in my house! These candles are perfect, and the smell is NOT grossly overpowering like those raunchy cheap perfumed candles that might make you gag after burning it for too long ... I have also used my OOCC candles in the bathroom during showers or baths like aromatherapy (also good when you got too brave and tried Sushi at that buffet last night). Even in close quarters, he scent is still very light & pleasant to the nose (albeit definitely more concentrated). I'll burn these scented candles alongside much cheaper unscented pillar candles when I want a candlelit bath or just want the effect of multiple flames, because the only scented candle I need is my OOCC candle!!
I HIGHLY suggest you take the plunge and try a scent that piques your interest. This Coconut Lime scent, to me, is just a very pleasant smooth Coconutty smell; if I didn't know the name of the candle, I wouldn't have known there was supposedly "lime" in scent, but regardless I ordered it because "coconut" was in the name, so I was very happy with the scent when it arrived. I've also ordered the Strawberry Lemonade scent, and it is also quite pleasant. I'd say a bit stronger than the Coconut Lime scent, which is more mellow. Both are fantastic options and I have no doubt I will be ordering several other varieties in the months and years to come...
...and affordable, long-lasting, great-smelling presents anyone?!?! Put these on your gift list NOW! I know I am!
