Maui Sunset Candle – Pier 1

 

Maui Sunset Pier 1 Scented Candle ReviewMaui Sunset

By Christina Rylan

Brand: Pier 1 Imports

Type: 9.6oz Medallion Candle

Fragrance: Maui Sunset

Scent Strength: Medium

 

First impression of Maui Sunset: 

Pier 1 Imports Medallion Series has been (for the most part) a pleasure to burn. All the fragrances from this series were created to showcase different locations across the globe, and Maui Sunset was a tropical fragrance I couldn’t stop sniffing. It smelled sweet, fruity, tart and amazing!!

Here is the scent description for Maui Sunset:

It’s an exotic beach scene as re-created by master perfumers, complete with luscious mango and green papaya, hints of driftwood and a garland of fresh, hand-picked blossoms, all in one highly fragranced candle.

Maui SunsetMmmm… that was my exact reaction every time I smelled the wax. I didn’t detect any tropical flowers or hints of driftwood… to me, this fragrance was solid fruit and it was luscious and mouth-watering. The description says mango and papaya but I swear there was something more to this fragrance that was giving it a really tangy and sugary vibe. I can even smell something more sophisticated in the mix too but I can’t be sure.

Time to light my candle!

I stuck to a small bathroom to burn this candle in and it was a perfect choice. Once the wick was lit, it took a good hour to reach a full melt pool but the aroma began moving through the room long before that and it was perfection. Tart and tropical mango and papaya drenched in sugar filled my bathroom. I never did smell the driftwood or hand-picked blossoms. To me, this scent was solid tropical fruit and if you love that type of scent, this candle is a must try. I loved it.

Strength – I would rate this candle a 10 out of 10 in a small room. 6/7 in a medium room. Not bad for a small candle.

 

 

How did my candle burn?

This candle burned perfect. Zero wick issues. Clean burning from start to finish.

 

 

Closing to my review: 

Maui Sunset was delightful and I’m really glad I finally had a chance to review one. Should you run across this candle at your local Pier 1 store, check it out. It’s a refreshing tropical and fruity scent but with a tangy kick. It reminded me a lot of tropical scents from Bath & Body Works. Super yummy!

Happy candle hunting!
