Review: My review of many wood wick candles and of the ReNu collection as well - Smells like cinnamon but sweet at the same time. I imagine this candle would be great for winter time and Christmas. I make sure to have this candle lit long enough so the whole top gets melted. If you don’t allow the whole top layer to melt, then it will create tunneling in the candle unless the wick itself is off center and that is caused by the manufacturer. One of our trilogy tall candles has a wick that is slightly off center, the candle that starts with apple basket. Such a shame that one has tunneling. I bought 4 others of that same one and those are perfectly centered. I’ve bought numerous wood wick candles and none have been damaged however less than a handful of them had smudges on the inside of the glass as if the hard wax was tumbling around in it during shipping. One of the ellipse candles, the harvest trilogy one arrived smudged on inside and the whole hard chunk of wax was loose inside. It also must have been upside down during shipping because the long wick looked bent. It was still usable. I got lucky with that as that is the worst that’s happened all my candles have arrived in great condition. None broken UPDATE ONE DID ARRIVE BROKEN A TALL ONE BUT NOT SO BAD CONSIDERING ALL THE PICTURES THAT SHOW MANY HAVE RECEIVED BROKEN ONES. RECENT ONES IN MAY ARRIVED WITH A BIT OF CONDENSATION FROM THE CHANGE TO WARMER WEATHER. HESITANT TO ORDER DURING SUMMER DUE TO OTHERS REVIEWS OF LOPSIDED MELTED CANDLES. This ellipse candle has been lit about 7 different times, each for about 2 hours. So far it has about a 1/2 left. The flame going down that long wick looks very pretty but it does cause the candle to be consumed faster than the other large tall candles of wood wick that are single wick. UPDATE THE TALL CANDLES LAST ABOUT6-7 DAYS OF CONSISTENT 24/7 USE! Makes sense as there is more heat put out on these. That is the downside regardless it is lasting a good while but the good side is the loud firey crackling sounds it makes and the beautiful look to it. Gives a great glow. I ordered about 10 ellipse candles and 1 time desertcart sent me some other candle. A yankee candle I know WW is made from yankee but I mean I received one of the actual yankee ones with those bulky glass tops. The candle looked so old and dusty as well. Where the heck are they keeping these candles in the desertcart warehouse ? A lot of my WW ellipse candles had dusty wooden tops too. Fireside medium size- this lasted about 3 days being on almost all day. I maybe had it on for all of daylight on the three days. So it lasted long. The smell was mild but good. It wasn’t overwhelming. Perfect. If the smell was stronger it leads me to believe that it may give me a headache. It’s just me I can’t tolerate fire Smokey smells that strong. I still think the candle is great. The crackling sound was not as loud as the ellipse shaped ones. Those are way louder and I like them. That doesn’t annoy me. The ones from the medium and large candles are less lesssssss loud but still loud enough. The crackling sound on the large candles gets louder the more the wax gets used because the tall glass container amplifies the sound. It helps a bit on the small ones. The trilogy candle with apple basket at the top I think the top layer smells identical to fresh crisp apples. Makes my mouth water. Love that smell and I wish wood wick would have an apple basket candle all on its own. I cannot describe the other two scents as I haven’t burned through to those yet. The apple basket part is lasting long now that I think about it. It’s been lit for maybe 2-3 hours for about 4 days now. These last longer than the ellipse candles because this puts out less heat therefore consuming less wax per hour. I double checked the candle and actually it has reached the spiced blackberry second level scent. It smells so yummy. Smells very nice, like a mulberry sort of smell and perhaps I’m just not very familiar of many different berry scents. Many smell similar to me and in candles they all great. Now I will look to see if wood wick has a spiced blackberry candle. It smells so good 😊 Ordered the one with jasmine and tea. Floraly and fresh. I like it for a nice cool spring day or for the bathroom for spa moments. It’s truly a great clean smell. I don’t think you can go wrong with this one or even gifting it to someone else. Pumpkin praline large candle I’m surprised to say it smells just average nothing special about the scent. Smells like you think a pumpkin candle would smell. There are no sweet or spicy cinnamon notes to it which I think I prefer in pumpkin candles. This is plain average pumpkin scent like some of the ones bed bath and bodywork’s has. BBW has many different pumpkin scents and I wish wood wick would also have more of a variety. It’s bland. Nothing else I can say about this one. Don’t hate it or love it and I’m okay with it. Sand and Driftwood I don’t really like the smell. Reminds me slightly of cologne but I can’t pinpoint it. It’s strong as heck because of the wide wick of the ellipse candle I got it in, which normally I don’t mind but in a candle I don’t care for of the scent, it’s not that good. I can’t describe the scent more than that. It’s a masculine smell for sure. Maybe cologne was the wrong descriptor as I was meaning to say masculine. Vanilla Bean, caramel and biscotti medium and large candle the vanilla bean smells sweet and like bakery kind of candles. I liked it so much that I ordered a few vanilla bean candles and as well as the vanilla with sea salt. I’ve always been a fan of vanilla. This vanilla sure is mixed with bakery sweet smells. I don’t really prefer bakery candles but this one is pleasant enough that it passes for me. I haven’t reached the second and third candle scent. If I remember to update this when I do reach those I’ll try. Fireside trilogy black and gray candle medium, haven’t reached the other scents. The top scent smells like the other fireside candle I had. Smells great and not too strong. It’s a nice background smell that’s there. Strong enough to notice but not too noticeable. I have another ellipse candle and that smells so great. It’s my favorite but the smell can be overwhelming when it gets to the 2nd or 3rd hour of being lit. It’s because the ellipse shaped candles are too much for the master bedroom here. It smells so strong in that room, down the hallway, into the closest bathroom and part of the second living room. Very lightly in the second living room but many may like a candle that strong. The ellipse candles are better suited for big areas. I saw a review of a woman saying the candle has no smell. She has a large candle lit in a big room and the candle is on tile floor right next to the corner of a chimney. That candle is not ideal for that giant space at all. No no no. She would need the ellipse or two large candles. That’s something I’ve experimented with and some areas need two large candles or an ellipse. Smaller rooms need the medium candle or the things that melt on a warmer. However I’m not discounting that maybe her candle was defective as her review implies no scent came out of that candle. I’m assuming she brought the candle up to her nose to test if any scent is released. RENU COLLECTION Incense and Myrrh is a great candle but one I cannot describe the scent too. Kind of an herb smell but not too noticeable like herbs or seasoning. Unlike the horrible tomato basil candle of the ReNu collection. I hate that one and makes my stomach turn over. Lavender and Cypress smells like a men’s deodorant, one that reminds me of my father from when I was little and he had a particular one. I can’t remember the deodorant but it was one of those teal/clear gel deodorants. I thought I would not like the smell because I don’t want a candle that smells like his old deodorant but after it being lit and burning it turned out to be a nice smell. It was okay. Cherry blossom and vanilla smells so good. Another scent I can’t describe but smells very sweet. I have no clue how cherry blossoms smell. Yes I do pick up a floral smell but nothing like the white tea and jasmine candle. That one is way better than the cherry blossom vanilla but cherry blossom and vanilla is still a fabulous candle and am a fan of it. The currant rose candle smells unique. Quite unique. I don’t hate it. I like it a bit. Never smelled anything like it before. I do notice the rose smell in there but the other scent is more overpowering. Not saying it’s bad but just to describe which scent is stronger. I’d buy it again. It’s nice but weird. Now I did see the image of a reviewer saying she has no time to babysit the candle and her daughter had the same problems with the candle. Who babysits a candle? Next time don’t buy a big ellipse candle then. That’s with any candle that you’re supposed to let the whole top layer melt. Not everyone knows this. It’s ok to admit you were the problem. I’m not being snarky but being realistic. The only times the candle is the problem, wood wick in particular, is when the wick is off center. Then you have to babysit it if you want to care for it. I care about the $ I spend on these so I wait for a lot of melting if wick is crooked. I’ll use a tool meant to scrape the wax and let it pool with the rest and it gets fixed until the off center wick makes the problem happen again. You are supposed to let the whole layer melt. If you don’t have the time to do that with an ellipse candle then maybe don’t get one like that next time. The medium and large candles don’t need to burn for a whole hour to have the top layer melt. I’ve burned through 4 ellipse candles and they do not take an hour or more to fully melt top layer. That wick is long and puts out a lot of fire and heat. That picture the reviewer put looks like she lit that candle multiple times for 20 minutes then put it out. 30 min. Put it out. 10 min. Put it out. Back to back. Back to back. You can see so many tunneling rings around it. Poor candle it wasn’t its fault.
Review: One of the most satisfying and best scented candles out there! - Hello everyone, my name is John and this is my honest opinion on this product. You can buy candles almost anywhere. With so many retailers and brands, it is hard to choose which ones to buy. Maybe you like how one smells but it is too small. Maybe you like how one smells but it is too expensive. Well my fellow candle buyers, look no further than the Vanilla Bean Woodwick Jar Candle by Virginia Candle Company. Now I have to say this was a gift for a friend but I have owned many different Virginia Candle Company Candles in the past and I have loved them all. They are a conversation piece around the holidays and whenever family is over I always hear, "What is that smell? It smells great!" or "What is that crackling sound, is that the candle?" Now, for someone who has never bought one of these candles before, you may not know that these candles actually do make a nice crackling noise as they burn. Nothing dramatic enough to make the in-laws think there is a raging, crackling fire in the other room at thanksgiving, but not quiet enough that you have to tell everyone to quite down so you can admire that satisfying crackling and popping coming from the candle. It is honestly probably my favorite attribute to these candles. I just love that little crackle so much because of how satisfying it is .Anyway, you are probably tired of reading me talking about my obsession of crackling candles so here is what I can tell you about the smell. They have many great scents that are a pure delight to your nostrils. These candles give off a scent that is noticeable, but not too faint. The scent is strong, but not overpowering. Each of these candles smell just perfect. Now the reason I choose to review this specific scent of candle is because it is my favorite. It truly smells like vanilla bean, one of my favorite smells. Another notable attribute to these candles is the duration of burn time you have. Unlike your traditional wick, these candles burn longer and better. Plus they give a pretty little flame which looks a bit different from your generic candle. Anyway, thats all I really have to say. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this candle or any other candle by Virginia Candle Company. If you ask me how high these candles raise the bar, I would tell you that they are the bar. Nothing can beat them. But in all seriousness, I really do enjoy these candles and have given quite a few of them to my friends and family as gifts after they had asked me about them. These candles really are unique from any other because of the wick they use. If you are considering these candles, I really would encourage you to purchase one because you will not be disappointed with it. I will admit they are a bit pricey compared to your generic candle, (I mean seriously, 18 dollars for a candle) but these truly are a higher quality of candle compared to other brands. Anyway I hope this review was helpful, thanks for reading! ;) (Disclamer: I was not payed or sponsored in anyway to review this product. This is my honest and unbiased opinion on this product. Once again, I hope this review was helpful.)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Smells heavenly
*by S***N on January 4, 2026*

The wick and the ambiance it creates is really nice. I put it near crystal decanters and the whole wall flickered beautifully and the candle sounded ( yes, crackled!!) Wonderfully like a fireplace. Smells great
