I used to do quite a few candle reviews, then all of the sudden I just quit buying them. Well, really I just traded them for a diffuser and essential oils. But...for some reason I just really wanted a candle. It makes a nice decoration and just adds to the room atmosphere when lit.
Nest claims:
Capture the aromas of the lush Mediterranean landscape with this 3-Wick Candle featuring crushed fig leaves and blue cypress mingled with the essence of turquoise waters and dewy violet.
I think I gifted this candle before but I never tried a candle from NEST before. I have tried a lot of their perfumes because I had a sampler.
This one comes in a nice box and the candle is really cute, it's just a simple glass jar with white stripes. but it really looks super cute on my vanity.
I mostly like to light candles when I'm watching tv or reading. But the scent of this candle doesn't really mesh with that. This candle smells like a fragranced breeze, somewhere on a sunny day..on the Mediterranean. I can see the day in my mind.
It's more a day time, nice warm weather candles that I think fits a sunny, breezy day best. It just doesn't fit in with my candle burn style, I like to burn candles at night.
It's not overpowering. But you can smell it. I think it's the perfect scent strength. Probably wouldn't do well in a larger room though. It does have a nice cold throw. I like the scent it gives off in my room while it's not lit.
Another problem I have with the candle is that mine is tunneling and I have to do the foil trick. Which I don't feel should need to be done considering the price of the candle.
It's...nice. Just not $30-40 nice. I paid around $30 for it, which I think is overpriced. I think the scent is better than Bath and Body works candles. But not enough to justify the price.
