WoodWick Wood Smoke Scented Candle, Crackling Wick, 21.5oz

My wife and I splurged on a 100" TV at the start of this winter and among our favorite things to display on it are the fireplace videos with burning and crackling logs that can found on YouTube. With a screen that size, you feel like you're sitting at the huge hearth of mountain lodge. To enhance the sight and sound sensations of this illusion, we use a parabolic dish heater and beam it at our couch. Heaters like this emit a directional beam that's felt as a palpable wave of heat, thus adding a third sensory impression of warmth to our virtual reality fireplace. All that was missing from this multi-sensory illusion was the aroma of wood smoke. Thus, began our sniffing quest of the scented candle aisles in several local stores. When no candle that we sniffed had a convincing aroma, we decided to try Amazon. With online shopping, you have to give up the touchy-feely-sniffy sensory inputs that help you decide on products in brick & mortar stores. So, we had to rely on the reviews of customers who had purchased and used the candles that were available. Based on those reviews, we bought the WoodWick Wood Smoke Hourglass Candle, and we were delighted with the aroma. While it may not nail the precise odor of burning logs, it beats anything we sniffed in stores. The very pleasing aroma does a persuasive job of completing our synthetic fireplace experience. If you buy it, I believe your nose will thank your credit card. Warm regards.

I've seen reviews talking about soot and burn problems, but I have had none of those. I have had two of these larger varieties from WoodWick and I 10 of the shorter version and NO issues. In fact, I love them. They fill the house with the scent (it fills up my lower level all the way up the stairs) and Wood Smoke is so comforting. In the winter the scent warms the house (without literally giving off heat) and in the summer is makes me nostalgic for the winter. One thing to keep in mind. I think since they are made with soy, they don't travel well during high heat (Summer) so you might find ordering in cooler weather is the way to go. I ordered two and they were slightly melted but the wick was still dead center - so I was able to use the candle and it burned without issue. And it burns a long time, all day for a whole week I have found.

Great fragrance, elegant looks, and sound like a campfire. Makes the holidays come alive!

This was my first introduction to the crackling, fireplace Wick. It’s quite pleasant in terms of its effect and provides a type of Zen concentration. This candle burns for a long time and the fragrance is generous, but not over the top. A solid well-made product that I would actually purchase again. I’ve tried several other candles whose fragrance is smoke and this one hold its own with candles from boutique companies that are three times as expensive. Also, this version of smoke is not too sweet, which I appreciate.

WoodWick are the absolute best candles, handles down. Strong scent and last a long time. This is my favorite scent of theirs (wood smoke). The reason I took one star off, it arrive "melted" and appeared to have melted upside down so it was stuck to the lid and just looked bad after getting it reseated. I've never had that happen before.

I'm obsessed with this candle. It makes my electric fireplace feel like a real wood burning fire. It smells and sounds like a real wood fire in the best possible way. The smell is subtle but fills the whole house. My husband gets migraines that are triggered by strong scents and this candle gives him no problems. I do have to say that the candle did not last long. We got maybe 15 hours total, max. So like 4 or 5 burns lasting 2-3 hours. You do have to burn it properly, letting it burn until the entire top is melted at least. It definitely won't work if you create a crater. Will be getting these for everyone in my family with electric or gas fireplaces!

This candle gives a nice cozy vibe simply because it has a crackle sound it makes you feel like your sitting near a bon fire only within the safety of your home, as for the scent this one in particular doesn't really smell like woodsmoke as it's advertised but they burn for along time. overall I love these candles they are worth the money.

I've been looking for smoke scented. This one is close.

La candela è fantastica. Fragranza gradevole e colore che si intona perfettamente con il mio salone... Al di là di questo è superbo il crepitio che produce dallo stoppino! Quando ti siedi sul divano ti sembra ti essere davanti a un fuocherello!

I love woodwick candles. I have a black cherry one which I love lighting and listening to the crackle, but what I really wanted was something that would smell like a proper wood fire too. They have several "fire" fragrances, bonfire, fireside, etc, but based on other reviews I thought I'd try this one. Definitely smokey! Success!

Schöne Kerze, die super riecht und beim Brennen toll knistert .Habe sie verschenkt und habe schon öfter gesagt bekommen, wie toll diese Kerze ist. Mir persönlich wäre sie zu teuer, um sie regelmäßig zu kaufen, aber für ein Geschenk mal eine besondere Kerze. Und das Glas kann man danach auch nochmal für Deko nutzen.
