Cypress Bath & Body Works Candle Review
By Christina Rylan
Brand: Bath & Body Works
Type: 14.5oz large 3 wick candle
Fragrance: Cypress
Scent Strength: Strong
First impression of Cyprus:
I had no idea what to expect with this candle. Cypress sounded like a scent my husband would like and bonus, it’s fragranced with essential oils so it has to be good, right? That was my thought process.
Here is the scent description from the bottom of the candle:
Made with lemongrass & thyme essential oils.
Interesting!! First impression, what a fresh and soothing scent it was. Not sure I smelled lemongrass but the thyme was present and the word I keep going back to is – soothing. It just smelled like a candle you feel compelled to take deep breathes of. It’s happy and a scent that puts a natural smile on your face. I couldn’t wait to light the wicks!!
Which happens right now!
I lit this candle in my master bedroom and oh my goodness was this candle perfect burning in a large room. Once the wicks were lit, it took the standard 20 minutes to reach a full melt pool but the aroma was moving through my bedroom long before that and it was heavenly. After a good hour or so, the scent was not only drifting through my bedroom and open bathroom but was traveling through the rest of my home… even moving downstairs. YES!!!! The best part… even though the scent was everywhere, it wasn’t overpowering or headache inducing. Nope! The aroma was super FRESH and vibrant. A scent you seriously will want to take deep breathes of. I loved it!!
What did Cypress smell like? Exactly as the description boasts… Lemongrass and Thyme and both blended to perfection. If I had to choose which was dominated, it would be the lemongrass but with the thyme really made this fragrance for me. It gave in an extra herbal kick that I loved.
Strength – I would rate this candle a 10 across the board in any room. LOVED!!!!
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned perfect. Zero wick issues. Clean burning from start to finish. A+
Closing to my review:
I think it’s pretty obvious I loved this fragrance. So much so, I’m going back for a few more before they’re gone. I highly recommend Cypress for those of you who love fresh lemongrass aromas. This one is a keeper.
I hope Bath & Body Works continues this this essential oil line of candles. I’m really enjoying them.
Happy candle hunting!
