This makes Glasshouse candle number two..and probably that last four awhile. They are just really expensive for what you get and I haven't been blown away with the two scents I have chose so far.
Glasshouse claims:
A Geranium Floral, freshened by Grapefruit with hints of Red Berries.
Basically the size of the candle is a votive. And it costs $20. Which is crazy high. But it does come in nice packaging- complete with a box and a unique little jar with a lid. They kinda remind of Yankee Candles a bit.
As for scent- it's a very much tropical fruit wit ha hint of floral. I can't really say I can pick out the claimed notes of geranium or red berries and grapefruit. It seems way more tropical- maybe guava, pineapple...
It reminds me of drinking a tropical tea (specifically Caribe from Harney and Sons).
And it also kinda reminds me cheap Glade type candle scents too. If Glade did tropical scents...or maybe they do.
It does burn very well. Cleanly. No smoking- no sooting. It is a soy blend. I always wish brands would tell use what is in the blend- does it contain paraffin or other veggie waxes. I want more transparency!
Overall, it's fine. I think it just falls out of the category of scent that I prefer in a candle. Maybe once I cycle back to the brand I should try more of the woody type scents.
