What Did My Candle Look Like?

How Did My Candle Smell?
I lit this candle in my favorite room for testing candles: my master bedroom. It’s a large space, which makes it easy to evaluate strength and throw. Within minutes of lighting, I began noticing the aroma, and after about 30 minutes it had spread throughout the entire upper level of my home—including the bedroom, bathroom, closets, hallway, and living room.
Paris Café smelled like having my own personal coffee shop at home. The fragrance was dominated by rich, creamy coffee with hints of vanilla cream. While the sugared brioche note took a back seat, the coffee note remained front and center throughout the burn. It was also one of the strongest coffee fragrances I’ve encountered, easily filling my testing space and much of the surrounding area.

How Did My Candle Burn?
Paris Café burned beautifully through a little more than half of the candle before wick performance became an issue. All three wicks eventually weakened, resulting in an uneven burn and some tunneling. Unfortunately, none of the usual maintenance tricks were able to fully correct the problem.
While the burn performance was disappointing, it didn’t change my opinion of the fragrance itself. The scent remained one of the strongest and most enjoyable coffee fragrances I’ve encountered.
