I'm too lazy to take better pictures but I recently bought the mini version of some Replica Candles. They came to me completely ruined. I'm supposed to be getting refunded for it but so far I haven't gotten anything.
I did the hard work of digging all the wax out and putting it in another jar with a wick so I could at least get some use out of it and not just chuck it into the trash. For the price of the product- I shouldn't have to do that. I don't think this has ever happened to me with any other candle either.
Replica is a new candle brand to me (I have used their perfumes before). I have been curious about the candles but they are pricy.
Replica claims:
Recall the refine and cozy atmosphere of an evening at a jazz club. Reignite your memories and transform the atmosphere of any room with the warm and spicy scent of a Jazz Club scented candle. With this luxury candle you can recreate at home the elegant and cozy atmosphere of a Jazz club.
Its warm and smoky scent will make you feel relaxed and is an invitation to a quiet conviviality.
The quality of the wax and long manufacturing process offers more than 40 hours of this complex and elegant scent mixing the warmth of cocktails and the smoky effect of cigars.
The scent of this candle has been created by renowned perfumer Aliénor Massenet, who recreated the exquisite aromas of a glass of amber Rum playing with a mix of Rum absolute and Vanilla Beans. The Tobacco Leaves mixed With Pink Pepper Notes evoke the scent of cigars bringing a refine atmosphere to your home.
The vibe of this reminds of something from Harlem Candle company although it doesn't necessarily smell like a scent I think they would do.
The year is 2013 and we are in Brooklyn. Picture it.
Actually I'm a bit surprised they chose a more recent time. I thought they would pick the height of Jazz. I've never been to a Jazz club but Jazz fest- yes. So I can't tell you if it smells like a Jazz Club.
But I do get a lot of sweetness. With some smokiness that would be the tobacco. It does say it smells of Rum. I don't think it does. Maybe some kind of Whiskey or a complex fruity smelling booze without being fruity. I think it smells like a fancy hotel. The more I burn it, the more I like it.
But I don't think that it will be very memorable and once it's gone I don't think I'll be able to recall the scent.
It is pretty strong for the size. I love when the small candles throw some scent...this scents my living room well and if I leave it burning long enough it will linger into the next day.
It is paraffin- which is not my favorite wax to burn. I prefer coconut wax or something that burns cleaner. It did burn fast but I did use my own wick. It might do better in it's original form.
I do think it's smells pretty unique....so maybe it might be worth a try. If you enjoy candles like Byredo Biblioteque, Harlem Candle Co Speakeasy (a fave!) or sweet and smoky complex type of scents like I do- I think you would enjoy it.
Even though it's not super memorable to me I do enjoy it and still might consider repurchasing a larger one if I found it on sale. It is just my vibe as far as candles are concerned. Perfect for a chilly fall night or a nice one to light up before curling up with a good book.
