I can’t believe it’s Friday already! Let’s welcome the weekend with a candle review.

Appearance

As is typical for Bath & Body Works’ single-wick candles, the design is eye-catching despite its simplistic label.⁣

Fragrance

The description for this candle is straightforward – “Dark Cherry, Black Raspberry, [and] Merlot.” The smell of cherries was immediately apparent. Not sure I could detect the raspberry or merlot, but I didn’t mind, since “cherry” is what I wanted when I bought this candle!⁣

Throw

The cold throw was very strong, and smelled just like the real deal (cherries!). The hot throw was equally strong, and surprisingly so for such a small candle. I lit it up in the office and could smell it in the other room! However, the smell wasn’t too overpowering.⁣

Burn

The fragrance was released within a few minutes, so I was able to enjoy the candle right away. It was a slow burn, taking about an hour to pool to the sides. There was a tiny bit of mushrooming that happened after burning, so I’ll need to trim the wick before next use.⁣⁣

Impression

This candle was wonderful to light up first thing in the morning. I enjoyed catching wisps of the fragrance as I went about my day, and it gave me some pleasant, summer-y vibes.⁣

Rating: 5/5

Honestly, there aren’t many candles that get a perfect rating from me, but this one deserves it. Bath & Body Works is having a 2-for-$20 sale on their single-wick candles, and Black Cherry Merlot is still available online!⁣
