WoodWick Ellipse Candle Scented Candle, Fireside Scented, Up to 50 Hours Burn Time, Crackles as it Burns, Great for Any Home Decoration or Gift, 16oz

My wife and I splurged on a 100" TV at the start of this winter and among our favorite things to display on it are the fireplace videos with burning and crackling logs that can found on YouTube. With a screen that size, you feel like you're sitting at the huge hearth of mountain lodge. To enhance the sight and sound sensations of this illusion, we use a parabolic dish heater and beam it at our couch. Heaters like this emit a directional beam that's felt as a palpable wave of heat, thus adding a third sensory impression of warmth to our virtual reality fireplace.All that was missing from this multi-sensory illusion was the aroma of wood smoke. Thus, began our sniffing quest of the scented candle aisles in several local stores. When no candle that we sniffed had a convincing aroma, we decided to try Amazon. With online shopping, you have to give up the touchy-feely-sniffy sensory inputs that help you decide on products in brick & mortar stores. So, we had to rely on the reviews of customers who had purchased and used the candles that were available. Based on those reviews, we bought the WoodWick Wood Smoke Hourglass Candle, and we were delighted with the aroma. While it may not nail the precise odor of burning logs, it beats anything we sniffed in stores. The very pleasing aroma does a persuasive job of completing our synthetic fireplace experience. If you buy it, I believe your nose will thank your credit card. Warm regards.

I purchased this candle for a teacher. She was asking for a candle that smelled like a camp fire. She was very pleased with it. Plus side is, it crackles.

I love these ellipse candles from Woodwicks. I burn roughly 10-12 hours on the weekends and it will last for a month and a bit more. The ones I have ordered have been full and not melted or broken. W-mart has them for $32 here, so I save a few bucks when I buy them on Amazon sale. The glass dish, once the candle is used and it’s cleaned out, is nice for the dresser or work table. I even filled with colored sands for my desk at work.

After looking around for a new living room candle, we found and bought this one because of the high reviews. I'm glad we did! It's an amazing smell and it's not overpowering like some other candles we've had in the past. Will definitely buy another one.

I saw a recommendation for this candle as a way to add the sound of a crackling fire to my electric fireplace. My family asked me where the crackling sound was coming from when I pointed to the candle they were pretty impressed. The fragrance is very real, sometimes when it's not burning I can smell a campfire fragrance.

The sound is relaxing. Last me a few months burning a couple of hours a day. The scent are not over powering.

Not exactly what I was hoping for though.My review is a little plagiarism from someone else's post a year ago. But they said exactly how I was feeling about the scent. I almost gave it 3 stars because I thought the scent was so far off from a Fireside. What was I expecting? More of a scent/smell when you go outside your home and you know someone in your neighbourhood has a fire going in their fireplace. This one has a slight floral sweetness I can't quite describe. The crackling of the wick is pleasant, and the fragrance is strong without being overpowering.All in all, I like it. But if you want a candle that smells more like a campfire in the woods, this is not it.

My most favorite! Lasts a long time and really fills our entire first floor with the beautiful scent.
