How it rates
How we vetted it
Vetted from Voluspa's product page for wax, size and burn time, and from retailer and owner reviews. We haven't burned this one ourselves.
What works well
The scent is warm and resinous rather than sweet: amber resin and sandalwood with cedar and vanilla orchid underneath. It's 9 ounces of Voluspa's coconut wax blend, hand-poured in the US, with about 60 hours of burn time and a single wick. The embossed amber glass jar looks good unlit, comes gift-boxed, and is phthalate-free and cruelty-free. One candle retailer calls it their best-selling Voluspa scent.
Why we chose it
- Warm, resinous scent
- Coconut wax blend
- About 60 hours
- Beautiful jar
In your room
Light it about an hour before you need it, so the room is already warm by the time you walk in. The amber glass throws a golden glow onto a nightstand, which is half the appeal. Keep it on a dresser or nightstand, never on the bed.
Pairs with
Skip it if
You want a big scent to fill an open-plan space.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants a warm, grown-up scent that suits a bedroom in fall and winter, and a jar pretty enough to leave out.
Where it fits in the room
Picture it in an Art Deco Glam room.
The right piece lands better in a room that was planned for the two of you. Start from the Art Deco Glam look in the Room Designer, set the light and the layout, and see the space come together around it.
