Village Candle – Medium Jar in Fields of Clover – Citrus, Clover & Sweet Pea.

Hi Guys,

Today I am, reviewing the Village Candle Medium Jar Candle in Fields of Clover – Citrus, Clover & Sweet Pea.

 So, anyone who know’s me well knows that I love nothing more than sitting in the dark, telly off, with a nice candle lit I find nothing more relaxing than this we all have our own ways of relaxing and this is mine. I love good quality candles and have used another well known brand for years but more recently it seems to me that that the quality of that brand has deteriorated as soon as you light them they instantly emit black smoke , and the smell doesn’t seem to be a strong as what I was used to so they ended up becoming more frustrating than relaxing; I needed to find a new more reliable brand.

At around Christmas time I had seen on a friends Facebook status that she had received some new candles for Christmas, at first glance these candles looked very much like the brand I use but on closer inspection I found they were Village candle. Because they seemed so similar to the ones I was using and I hadn’t heard of them before I thought I would check them out;

Village Candle the essence of America – (Taken from their website)

I decided to email Village Candle and and see if they had any samples for me to try, I had a really quick and lovely Reply from Managing Director Marvin who said he would gladly send me some samples to try. They definitely get a thumbs up for fast efficient customer service.

WOW …. Wasn’t I surprised by what I received, when I was told samples I expected a smaller votive style sampler and was happy with that but when 3 full sized Jars turned up I was ecstatic it was like Christmas had come again.

What I received;

1 x Large Jar in Beach Party – Orange flower & White Musk

1 x Small Jar Candle in Palm Beach – Blood Orange & Goji Berry

and the one I am reviewing today

1 x Medium Jar in Fields of Clover – Citrus, Clover & Sweet Pea.

When I opened the jar it was like an explosion of Fresh my nose was hit by what can only be described as a freshly cut grass smell and I couldn’t wait to get it lit.

I lit the 2 wicks – yes that’s right 2 wicks, why 2 wicks? I hear you ask well there is a couple of reasons behind this genius idea, first of all the wicks are smaller in diameter than those of a standard single wick candle as it helps the candle burn more efficiently stopping the tunnelling effect that other candles endure & promoting a more even burn with less wax residue and a big thing for me is that the dual wick also produces less smoke and soot meaning the wicks don’t have to be trimmed giving the candle an all round much cleaner burn. Since I have lit the candle I have not come across any black smoke or soot and am pretty sure I am not going to either. Other bonuses of the dual wick a much nicer, brighter, more relaxing glow and double the scent when burnt.

Within about 10 minutes of lighting the candle my nose was hit with that fresh smell again I was in heaven, within about half an hour the whole room was filled with the heavenly scent allowing me to imagine a cool summers evening walk across a freshly cut field it was amazing and I was totally relaxed. I nipped upstairs to run a bath and was totally amazed that the upstairs of my house to smelt like a freshly cut field its amazing how one small (ish) candle can produce such a stunning smell that fills a whole house.

So far so good; so far I haven’t got a bad word to say about these candles and I am not sure I ever will they have definitely wowed me above and beyond my expectations.

The medium candle is a generous 16oz and is stated to burn for approximately 105 hours all though I suspect it will burn for a lot longer as so far I have burnt it every day since I have had it maybe for around 50 hours and it doesn’t seem to have budged if it has it is a case of millimetres.

The price of these candles varies from place to place but I have noticed they all seem to be cheaper than another major brand. As well as Jars Village Candle also produces wax melts, votives and a whole array of other candles & accessories. you can buy them in many places just search for them in Google and it will give you a whole host of places that sell them including Amazon & Home Fragrance.

Other Fragrances include:

• Fresh Strawberries
• Pure Linen
• Lemon pound cake
• Warm Apple Pie
• Brownie Delight
• Lily of the Valley
• Cinnamon bun
• Mulled Cider
• Wild Rose
• Blueberry Muffin

And many many more.

In a nut shell; 

If I had to pick 3 ways to describe Village Candle products they would be, Gorgeous, Great Quality & Un-beatable because in my books they cant be beaten.

All in all Village Candle is a great company with great customer service that produce great products, in my eyes they have a lot more to offer than other brands, you get more for your money and they are true to what they claim to be. Definitely my on my must have list and deserve a 5/5 they cant be faulted.
