I almost forgot I was supposed to be getting this review up. I got caught up in the music. I have a few candles I need to get a review up for because I am close to burning them up. I really ordered this planning to keep it until next year to burn around the Holidays. But when I got it- not that Holiday smelling to me. Definitely a winter candle though.
Brooklyn Candle Studio claims:
Kindling made of cedar burns brightly under logs of pine: a roaring, crackling blaze emanating warmth and comfort. Top notes of resinous spruce and fresh pine open to a woody heart of charred cedar and sandalwood. A base of frankincense and myrrh recalls the smoky, earthy aromas of the altar.
Imagine a glamorous holiday party hosted at Studio 54, brimming with the artists and creatives of its time, dripping head-to-toe in color and pattern. These are the statement-piece candles that would burn at every table—colorful, sophisticated, and fun, like the pop-art of the era. The scents—Cypress Tree, Fireplace, Wild Fig, and Pomander—evoke the spirit of the season, because what’s a holiday party without festive fragrance?
Made in Brooklyn, New York with 100% soy wax for an eco-friendly clean burn. We use lead-free cotton wicks and premium fragrance oils infused with essential oils. Our candles are vegan, cruelty-free, phthalate-free, and petroleum-free.
I think I've had one candle from them before- but it was a mini and I was a little disappointed in the scent throw It was time to give them another chance- this time in the larger size. I got mine discounted since it's a Holiday candle and the Holidays are pretty much over.
I was mostly drawn to the name- Fireplace. I love a smoky candle- in theory. I don't have any that I actually do love and would repurchase but I'm ready to give them all the chances. And I was drawn to the packaging. It doesn't scream holiday but I love it so I will definitely be saving it and repurposing it when I'm done burning through it. It's overall just nice and has the name and branding of the candle printed on the label. No cheap stickers here.
So the packaging is great. And it comes in a box. Perfect for gifting.
As for the candle itself- it's cedar wood mainly. And it smells exactly like a cedar wood essential oil I had. It definitely smells like you are burning cedar in a fireplace. I get some pine. And then sometimes it has a little bit of a cologne type fragrance to it. It's ok. But not really my style. And after recently using up the essential oil I was a little tired of this type of scent. But I can say it really is authentic.
Scent throw is on the lighter side. It's just hanging out in the background. Not overwhelming at all. I think it's the perfect strength.
It is two wick candle- so it does burn faster. I prefer one wick for that reason...but it can help keep the room warm longer since you have two little flames instead of one.
I do find the candle burns cleanly. It is 100% soy wax which is healthier.
Overall, not really my type of scent but I think it's a good quality candle and I think they make quality scents so I would definitely grab more to try from the brand. If you love cedar wood and want something true to that scent- this might be for you!
