YZZQiang Scented candle

I found two better priced soy candles, one from Target for $5 (favorite pumpkin scent yet), and this one today while shopping at Trader Joe’s (right) Trust me, I’m the pumpkin-candle connoisseur, and if you buy the Wax Oils one you may not feel good about it for $13. My sniffer picked up smells of sugary maple more than spicy pumpkin.

I am a sucker for candles that smell like coffee, but I always feel like there is some chemical or weird smell to them. Not with this candle. This smells exactly like you just brewed a fresh pot of coffee or espresso and it is amazing. lasts a very long time. They say that it has a 20 hour lifespan, but I have been burning it for at least four days straight, and it is only about 2/3 of the way gone.

This candle was marketed as a de-stressing, calming and relaxing candle. I bought this candle to light at night after long work days so I could free myself from the stress of the day and give myself the best shot to turn off and be able to fall asleep peacefully. The candle smells great and definitely has a soothing scent to it. Here is my problem: without the candle, I am stressed, my mind is cluttered and I have a very hard time turning the noise off and falling off to sleep. With the candle, I am able to relax and fall slowly into a slumber, leaving a candle flame unattended. Quite a pickle I find myself. To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question. Wish this candle came with someone to blow out this flame once I have drifted off to dreamland ...would be cool if they also tucked me while they were at it.
