Magic in the Air Candle – Bath & Body Works
Sometimes (not often) but sometimes I’m simply drawn to a candle from just presentation alone and that’s what happened with Magic in the Air from Bath & Body Works. I loved the name but I also loved the bright and glittery label along with the absolutely gorgeous lid. Yep, the lid was the best part!! It was solid bling! The entire surface was covered in glitter, rhinestones and pearls. It was so bright and pretty and a lid you’ll definitely want to keep if you love bright and baubble’y things.
First impression – the moment I popped off the lid to smell the wax, I fell in love. What a fresh and beautiful scent this was. The wax smelled zesty with hints of floral. It was very pretty and uplifting and a perfect spring scent.
Here is the scent description for Magic in the Air:
Almond Flower, White Iris, Whipped Vanilla Bourbon
Mmmm! This candle smelled amazing! I repeat – AMAZING!! It’s definitely in the floral family but more fresh and sweet… and just plain beautiful. I smelled it all, a subtle and powdery floral along with lots and lots of sweet sugar. Not so much vanilla bourbon as the description indicates something else that smelled citrusy and zesty. I loved it.
Time to see how this candle performs!
I lit this candle in my master bedroom and it literally took minutes to start noticing the scent once the wicks were lit. The aroma… a super fresh floral scent that reminded me of a blend of sweet tart candies, fabric softener and flowers. I swear that’s what it smelled like. Whatever the zest notes were dominated the overall aroma and I’m pretty sure that’s why I liked it so much. I’m not a fan of floral scents but when blended with other things, I end up loving it and such was the case with this one. Yippee!!
Strength – this was a strong one. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d rate this a 10 in every size room. Small, medium and large. It’s a room filler and I loved every second of it.
How did my candle burn?
This candle burned perfect. Zero wick issues (Yeah!!) – and burned clean and even from start to finish.
Closing to my review:
If you don’t see this candle on their website, check their stores which tends to carry more scents than online. I don’t know why that is but I’ve found it to be true.
Happy candle hunting!
