Autumn is a great time to start creating cosy, warm spaces to snuggle up in the evening. You can create that comfortable atmosphere using gorgeous decorations, heated blankets and tasty drinks – but for the perfect environment, don’t forget to light a seasonal scent.
Luckily for those hoping to hunker down this fall, Woodwick have currently cut one of their best selling candles by a whopping 43 percent on Amazon. The ‘Fireside’ scented crackling candle is many shoppers favourite fragrance – “a mixture of woody and a lightly smoky smell” with “a hint of cinnamon”.
Usually £32.99, the 130 hour candle is now reduced to just £18.66, and customers say it’s “the best candle” they’ve ever bought thanks to the therapeutic sound and pleasant aroma. Also available in fragrances such as Black Cherry and Cinnamon Chai, Woodwick can provide the perfect addition to any cosy abode.
Completely unique, Woodwick candles feature a PlusWick Innovation wooden wick to provide a distinctive crackle noise. This along with the rustic scent that smells “just like a real fire” comes together to create a calm and cosy atmosphere.
The modern hourglass design creates a wider opening for a fully melted wax pool that produces a more consistent fragrance. It also means that the candle will remain in good condition throughout the burn, allowing your Woodwick purchase to last up to 130 hours.
For those looking to get in the festive spirit, many shoppers say this particular version even smells a little “Christmassy”, without being overpowering. Others have said that they love it, adding: “The flickering sound is good. I’ve bought this candle each year for a few years now approaching Christmas time.”
Over 2,000 customers have purchased a Woodwick candle this month, scoring them an incredible 4.6 out of five stars. This delighted buyer said: “I mean who wouldn’t want a woodwick with crackling sound. If you on the verge or don’t know if you should get a crackling candle. You won’t be disappointed. The sound alone is therapeutic. Would highly recommend and smells amazing!!”
Another agreed: “Best candle I’ve ever bought. I had no idea crackling wick candles existed! It is the best candle I’ve ever bought.
“Lovely noise, pleasant aroma. Watching the flame dance about and hearing the noise it makes is captivating. Never thought a candle would make me feel so happy.”
Shoppers who hadn’t even taken advantage of this massive price drop said: “Worth the price!! Beautiful scent that fills the room. Lasts for a long time as you do not need to burn for long if it is the smell you want. The crackling sound and flickering wick is soothing to listen to and watch.”
This buyer commented: “Really nice candle to use particularly in the winter, the lovely smell and crackling wick makes the room seem very cosy.”
Other happy customers wrote: “My favourite candle! I love the novelty of woodwick candles with how they crackle when they burn like a wood burner. This one is my favourite scent. It is a mixture of woody and a lightly smokey smell, but a pleasant/not overpowering scent.”
Most reviews were positive, though one shopper did note: “This really does smell like a real fire. It just doesn’t last as long as they say even though I follow the suggested burn time!”
Despite this, another said: “Beautiful scent and just love the crackle sound it makes whilst burning! Recommend this candle highly.”
If you’re looking to scent your home but don’t fancy handling a flame, Dunelm stocks a lovely range of reed diffusers. This Christmas themed Cashmere & Amber Tree-Shaped Diffuser is priced at £10.
If you want to splash out, take a look at the iconic Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir Scented Candle, now £28. It’s gorgeous, but doesn’t offer that winter crackling effect like the Woodwick Fireside Candle.
