Candlefind Says

A fresh, fruity fragrance that is a sweet treat for the hot summer months!

Pros

  • Even, clean burn
  • Perfect for gift-giving

Cons

  • Lids separate from boxed candle

The luxurious candles from indie company Josephine + Joy has us over the moon with scented glee. The candles are affordable, clean burning, and fairly powerful – much like their Joyful Mango candle.

Packaging/Presentation

Josephine + Joy Candles Joyful Mango Candle

The Josephine + Joy candles come in a lovely gift box with a wooden lid that is outside of the box. It is my understanding that they are moving to a different gift box and the wooden lids will be contained within the boxes in the future. The outside of the gift box reminds us to ‘Walk In The Light.’

The candle was a squat apothecary style jar with double wicks. The wax was soy and undyed, giving it that clean, natural look. The label wrapped around the jar but was easy to remove, if that’s your thing. There was a protective film over the jar so that the candle smelled fresh and stayed clean.

Authenticity

The cold sniff of this candle was noticeable as soon as I removed the protective film. Mmmm! It smelled like a fresh, juicy mango – sweet, but not candy sweet.

Sure to bring a smile to your face, this warm and inviting scent is a fruit medley made up of pineapple, peach, warm sugar, mango and coconut milk.

Once the candle was lit, I let it do its thing for the next 30 minutes or so. That’s when I started really noticing the additional notes in this candle – the tropical fruit vibe was evident and the sweetness was oh-so-good! There was just a bit of creaminess to the scent, which made it mouthwateringly delicious.

Scent Strength & Scent Throw

I will say that this scent was on the lighter side. It did carry well, though. I was able to smell the fragrance and tell it was burning in the large, open space without difficulty. If I moved it to a medium sized bedroom, it pretty much filled that space with scent.

Burn Performance

This candle didn’t take long to get a full wax melt pool with its two wicks. It was a slow burning candle overall, though. I needed to keep the wicks cut pretty short to keep the flames manageable, but the burn was super clean. No wasted wax on the sides of the jar…yay!

Conclusion

I loved the Joyful Mango candle from Josephine + Joy, and it is one I would purchase again and again. It is absolutely perfect for these hot, summery days. Although they are considered a luxury brand by our standards, they are an affordable luxury brand, and the slow burn totally makes the purchase worth it.
