Paddywax Hygge Collection Scented Candle, 5-Ounce, Tobacco + Vanilla

On paper, this combination sounds like it will produce a very weird smell but in my humble opinion this is, in a word, perfect!The sweet vanilla is tempered and softened by the smoky tobacco scent. The tobacco part of the equation is a smoky, woody, pipy, ‘raw’ cigar, homely fragrance, but of course closer to the smell before it is lit and being smoked. Definitely no cigarette smell! I love this combination (I also love the linen and cotton type fragrances), vaguely reminiscent of my Uncle’s pipe when I was little.First bought this in the US, happy to find it on Amazon although it is a little on the pricy side, but for me this beats any other candle from the expensive shops and would make a perfect gift for someone who’s less keen on the floral scents. Beware pale imitations, by the way, Paddywax appear to have nailed it!

I find it very difficult to find scented candles that smell natural. Most I find to be either a synthetic smell like loo cleaner or very sickly sweet. This candle cardamom and vetiver (whatever vetiver is) smells lovely with the added bonus of an attractive container that you can repurpose. Well done Paddywax, great product.

Have bought this candle before so know the smell is lovely and looks nice. However I bought this as a last minute gift and on opening the box the candle pot is chipped. I have no choice but to give this gift damaged as I don't have to time to return it and get a new one. Really disappointed. This must have been damaged before it was packed as it was in bubble wrap and an undamaged Amazon box. Not good enough that someone thought it okay to send out to me damaged.

It's too wide for the single wick. I had to put foil around it to get it to full melt the top on first burn. Not the end of the world but that's where the strong scent works against you. It was too much. However it comes in a lovely pot jar and copper effect metal lid. If it wasn't for the wick versus diameter issue it would be 5 stars.

Candle smells lovely and keeps it smell for a long time. Good product.

Nice smell. Looks good.

The candle looks and smells lovely

Hands down my favourite scent and candle design.
