Introduction to My Review of Two Scented Pillars from Aromatique...
I'm definitely in the "Fall" groove and burning lots of fall scents since the weather in my neck of the woods is definitely getting cooler (I live in the desert). Aromatique sent me tons of delectable fragrances in so many sizes and styles that it's going to take me the rest of the winter season to burn through them. Yipeeeeeeee!!
My two recent Aromatique candles of the week are 14oz pillars in the fragrances Cinnamon Cider and Pomegranate & Pear.

| What Did My Aromatique Pillars Look Like? |
|
 Aromatique does go all out on presentation for sure. The wax color on my Pomegranate & Pear Pillar was yellow with a beautiful burgundy and gold bow wrapped around the center of it. Very classy and elegant.
Cinnamon Cider Pillar if I remember correctly was plain but I'm going by memory (I forgot to notice for the review, sorry) but Aromatiques website shows a brown and burgundy striped bow tied around the center of the pillar. The wax color was brown.

 Pomegranate & Pear
This fragrance is awesome! I don't know if Aromatique considers this a fall scent or not but they sent me their entire fall line so I'm guessing that it is. Pomegranate & Pear is the perfect blend of both fruits with pear standing out the most to me and boy is it sweet and delicious. I burned this pillar in my guest bathroom which is a pretty big room. I leave the door open when it's not in use and the fragrance from that one pillar fragranced my entire lower level and you could even smell it loud and clear walking down my stairs. I was very impressed with the scent throw. The fragrance is so fruity and sweet, you almost want to bite into it like a piece of fruit. I didn,t smell any spices at all, just sweet pear and pomegranate. My husband who almost never comments on my candles told me every day that I burned it how much he liked this fragrance.

| Cinnamon Cider
This is one of the best cinnamon ciders I've come across to date. It smelled very authentic to me. There's a quaint Spanish style complex in Arizona called Tlaqepaque (tell-lock-eh-pock-ee) and every Christmas starting right after Thanksgiving, they have an event called Red Rock Fantasy. The entire complex lights up with Christmas lights in every theme imaginable. It's almost like you're walking through a parade and it t akes well over an hour to walk the entire event. Anyway, my kids and I walk it every year and at the beginning when you enter, they give you a steaming big cup of hot cinnamon cider and I sip it the entire time I'm walking around. It's so warm and soothing and I'm constantly breathing in the wonderful fragrance as I'm sipping it. This candle smells just like the cinnamon cider I get every year!!
The scent throw is nice and strong and one candle should fragrance a big room quite nicely. This is a great fall and winter scent and definitely gets a two thumbs up from me.

| How Did My Pillars Burn? |
|
| I'm sorry to report that I wasn't happy with how my pillars burned. The wax was on the hard side so as the wax pool formed on both, they tunneled quite a bit. I tried hugging both candles but the wax didn't get gooey or mold easily. Instead, when I tried hugging it, the outer wax tended to break apart causing wax to dribble down the sides creating a mess. I did manage to salvage a lot of the wax but it took some work. The fragrances themselves were awesome so I would definitely buy them again only I'll buy their jars instead. |
|
| Closing Remarks: |
|
 I do recommend both fragrances and as far as ounces go on a candle, 15 bucks was actually reasonable for 14 ounces. I just wished they would have burned better. I don't think you can go wrong with buying their jars though. They are on the expensive side but the quality is excellent and these candles are VERY fragrant. I say if you're gonna splurge, go for it! |
