First impression of Passion Fruit Punch:
OMG! I about died when I popped off the lid to smell this candle. Instant love!! The wax smelled like the sweetest passion fruit brimming with sugar. It was magical and fresh beyond words. I LOVED IT!!!!
Here is the scent description for Passion Fruit Punch:
Tropical notes of golden pineapple and lime lead into a vivacious mix of passion fruit and peach nectar. A blend of vanilla and juicy raspberry creates a refreshing finish.
Great description!! To my nose, this candle was solid passion fruit loaded with sugar. Maybe hints of pineapple and raspberries. Whatever I was smelling, it was swoon worthy!!
Loved!! Now let’s see how this candle performs!!
I decided to go bold and light this candle in my master bedroom just to see if it could handle that big of a room. Very sad to report, no scent. I moved it to a medium size room – no scent. Then moved it to my really small powder room – very little aroma even there. Very bummed!! This candle smelled amazing on cold sniff but basically produced very little to no fragrance. Insert sad face. ☹
Strength – 0 out of 10 in large and medium rooms. 2 in a super small room.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned okay. The wicks did get out of hand if I didn’t keep them constantly trimmed so this candle was pretty high maintenance. Other than that, it burned evenly to the very end.
Closing to my review:
Such a promising start I had with this candle but once I lit the wicks, it went downhill from there. The scent itself was amazing but with it producing no fragrance, I would call this one a dud for me. Disappointing because I loved the scent itself.
Oh well… you win some, you lose some. I do enjoy this brand so I’ll keep purchasing more as I find ones that interest me.
Until then… happy candle hunting!
