Voluspa Sparkling Cuvee Classic Candle Refill Review

 It's late May and we are still in candle season. My apartment is still pretty cool surprisingly so I keep a candle burning. I am burning through my Voluspa candle refills and after this one, only one more! I love the idea of the these. You can just keep and clean out one of their candles and pop this in to refill it. It saves glass..I don't have to constantly recycle glass jars. I can just clean it out and re-use it. It saves money since the refill is $24.00 and the classic candle is  now $34.00. I wonder if they went up? I could have sworn it was cheaper. I bought mine on sale so it wasn't more than $17.00 at least. 

Voluspa claims:

Pop a bottle of Voluspa’s finest blend, it’s time to celebrate! A mix of beautiful aromatic complexity, Sparkling Cuvée opens with vivacious fruit tones of Sparkling Wine, Pomelo and Red Currant. The effervescence of Sparkling Wine is the heart of the celebration, with bubbles cascading to the surface, dancing and mingling with juicy Nectarine and Bulgarian Rose Petals. A velvety, smooth finish of Woody Oak serves as the perfect stage for this aromatic affair. Raise a glass of Sparkling Cuvée, your olfactory aperitif for every unforgettable occasion.

Notes of Sparkling Wine, Pomelo, Woody Oak & Rose Petals

Curb your olfactive appetite for your flourishing fragrance addiction. Invite an additional 60 hours of your beloved 9oz Voluspa fragrance without the frills. After your candles final flame, go straight to the source, simply drop in the coconut wax Candle Refill. We’ve pioneered a candle refill that leaves no trace. Our custom designed refill cups are made from 3 simple ingredients: starch, fibers and water— making it 100% biodegradable. Outer Packaging is 100% recyclable.

I didn't have high hopes for this one because the last refill candle I bought really didn't have much throw. I was almost ready to write them off. This one kinda redeemed them for me. It has throw. Not the strongest throw- but decent. It drifts out the room I have it lit and into the hallway. Noticeable- but not overpowering. I don't think I would buy this size for a wide open space though or a large room. 

Now as for the scent- I really like it! It really does smell like a fruity, sweet, bubbly, sparkling wine. it even smells a bit effervescent. I don't know how they do it, but they did it. The only other fragrance I can think of that perfectly captures a fruity wine scent would be the Lush Golden Wonder Bath Bomb.  If you like that, you would like this. 

Voluspa candles can be very hit or miss. I've tried quite a few of the scents at this point. What I like most about them is how clean burning they are. They are a coconut wax blend and as long as I take care of the wick- they burn super cleanly and very evenly as long as it isn't too cold! 

Major points to them for creating a completely recyclable and biodegradable refill. 

If you like fruity scents that are on the lighter side- I would recommend it!
