WICK HAPPENS
The coconut wax burns so evenly and the bergamot-grapefruit opening is bright without being sharp, then the hinoki settles in nicely. I’ve lit it every evening for two weeks and the scent still fills the room. Definitely getting my money’s worth from that 50+ hour burn time.
The hinoki note is what sold me, it's smoky and woody without being overpowering, and the grapefruit keeps it from feeling too heavy. Burn time is solid too, I've gotten well past 50 hours on mine. Only gripe is the wick needed a trim early on to stop it tunneling.
The bergamot comes through bright and clean without being perfume-y, and the hinoki keeps it from smelling like a generic citrus candle. Only reason it's not five stars is the wick needed trimming twice to stop it tunneling. Burns for ages though, I've had it lit most evenings for a month.
