Coconut Cove Shortie's Candle Review

Coconut Cove Shortie’s Candle Review

By Christina Rylan

Type: 10oz medium jar

Fragrance: Coconut Cove

Scent Strength: Light

First impression of Coconut Cove:

I can’t go the month of August without burning at least one coconut fragrance and Shortie’s Coconut Cove sounded like a perfect choice. The wax was pure white to fit the fragrance theme perfectly, and the aroma… a sweet coconut that kind of reminded me of a freshly cracked coconut with a hint of cream. It smelled good and I couldn’t wait to light it.

But before I get to that, here is the scent description I pulled from Shortie’s website:

Relax on the beach of this tropical paradise and wait for a fresh coconut to drop so you can break it open and enjoy the wonderful juice of this creamy tropical fruit.

First sniff, the wax did smell like a fresh coconut and dare I say even a hint of suntan lotion? You know what I’m talking about right? That coconut suntan lotion aroma? Something in this fragrance reminded me of that.

Coconut & Cream I’m intrigued… now let’s see how this candle performs!

Because this candle was fairly small, I decided to light it in a small room. Once the wick was lit, it took a good three hours to reach a full melt pool and the aroma… a very subtle, creamy and buttery coconut wafted all throughout my bathroom. I kept going back to smell it and all I could smell was a true coconut with a hint of cream and butter. YUM!! I really liked this one. The suntan lotion note I thought I smelled in the beginning totally went away. YAY!!

Strength – I would rate this candle a 7 out of 10 in a really small room. 5 in a medium and I wouldn’t even try this candle in a large room. If you do, go with melts.

Coconut fans, this was a yummy one. It was on the lighter side so a small room worked best for me.

How did my candle burn?

This candle burned great. No wick issues. Clean burning from start to finish.

Closing to my review:

Loved Coconut Cove and could totally see myself purchasing this candle again. Just imagine a true and creamy coconut with a hint of yummy buttery notes. Yeah…. Yum!!
