I've enjoyed Old Virginia Candles for years and can always find a candle or two to tempt me anytime I'm browsing their website. This candle line can be found in many different stores across the country which makes it nice to smell their various scents before you purchase any. I'm not fortunate enough to have any stores around me but thankfully, I can shop to my hearts content on their website. I might not have the luxury of smelling everything beforehand but luckily, I've liked the majority of candles I've ever purchased from them.

My favorite Old Virginia candles are their triple fragrance collection because I love getting 3 different fragrances in one candle. I've also found that these candles are pretty strong and last a long time so I really do think I get my moneys worth. Out of curiosity, I decided to try their new WoodWick candles which are now becoming a new favorite of mine and boy are these candles incredible! What an innovative and spectacular candle this is and if you ever get the chance, I highly recommend you give one a try yourself.

WoodWick candles are available in two different jar sizes, 11.5oz for $16.95 or 22oz size for $22.95 so the prices aren't bad considering what you're getting. There are 18 scent choices available in this line which isn't much but I'm sure will grow with time. For my first candle, I went with a fragrance I knew I would like.  Sangria, a fruity berry concoction that always seems to be a winner to my nose.

How Did My Sangria WoodWick Candle Smell?

As soon as I got this candle, I couldn't wait to light this sucker! The whole look is cool and the wood wick idea was too intriguing. My candle also smelled wonderful. When I first tried to imagine what sangria smelled like, I really couldn't because I always assumed sangria was a type of alcohol. The scent description described sangria as that type of smell too so I was a little curious what this candle was going to smell like. The scent description for this fragrance is:

"This sparkling fragrance is a wonderful blend of red wine with slices of ripe peach and juicy orange."

In my opinion, I couldn't smell any type of alcohol, to me; it smelled like a tart berry fruit of some kind. I really couldn't make out peach either. Maybe slight orange but I'm still sticking to what my nose thought, berry. I really liked it. I lit my candle in my bedroom and right away after lighting it, I could hear the crackling sound of the wick, I LOVED it!! It sounded just like a crackling fire (on a much smaller scale of course) but still, how cool!! You can only hear the candle when you're in the room and what you do hear is so neat, I kept staring at it and listening to the crackling sound. The scent throw was pretty incredible too. I could smell the fragrance loud and clear through my bedroom, open bathroom and the scent was even filtering into my great-room.

I couldn't wait for my hubby to get home to see what he thought. I didn't tell him either but let him figure it out on his own. It was funny, he kept hearing a strange sound not knowing what it was and when he did figure it out, he thought it was the coolest thing too. He still catches himself every time I have it burning because the sound it so unusual to hear. WoodWick candles definitely got two thumbs up from him. Me too!

I LOVED my WoodWick candle and will for sure be ordering more. If you like tart berry scents, you would like Sangria, it's a wonderful fruity fragrance and the throw was pretty strong and true. There isn't a huge selection of fragrances available but it's decent and I imagine should grow over time. The better deal is to buy the larger 22oz size which is what I did. They last a long time so I did get my money's worth. The smaller 11.5oz size probably burns cleaner but that wasn't a huge issue with me.

The sound effects are very cool and that alone makes it worthy of a try, even if just once for the novelty of it. This would be a great candle to burn if you have company over and want something out of the ordinary. This candle line definitely is.
