I love this candle. It has a real purifying scent to it without being overpowering. It has no toxins in it and uses a cotton wick. I gave several to a woman battling cancer to help her body relax and heal itself. I didn't want her using anything with petrochemicals or other nasties in it. I like to burn this one on my bedroom dresser, because that room gets less air flow and can sometimes feel "blah" and stagnant. This really freshens things up. It looks little in its little tin, but it burns a long time. The tin is handy to put little things in later when the candle is all used up. (The tin also makes it handy for travel and when you have a baby like mine who is a menace to all glass containers everywhere.)

This Eucalyptus Candle was not as aromatic as I expected. Candle did not even last a few days. The wick burns out pretty quickly. I was not satisfied with this purchase.

I am not normally a candle person. Got this for emergency use and felt it would be a nice scent for that purpose, when everybody is a bit down. Used it during a recent weather scare and was pleasantly surprised how well this one worked. Nice bright light and a long burn life. After reading up on it, I found it was also good for the environment, with all natural ingredients.

Looking forward to getting more and giving candles a chance. :)

I love eucalyptus and this candle smells nothing like it. It has an unnatural and unclean smell, something akin to burning trash. If you like the clean smell of eucalyptus, keep searching because this isn't the candle for you.

All of Plantlife's candles are very aromatic. No black smoke and good for the environment. I love them

I purchased this candle for my wife. She loves the scent. It is very refreshing, and is capable of refreshing the entire house in just 20 minutes or so. With short burn times like that, and properly trimmed wicks, this candle has lasted longer than we expected.

Great product, shipping was fast and nicely wrap. Very classy and smell wonderful. I have them all over my house and my office and we use them when doing skin care facials on customers. I am the founder and owner of I'm Fabulous Cosmetics ( [...]) an anti-aging and skin correction skin care website for home user and professional. I highly recommend those fabulous candles!

First of all, this is a true aromatherapy candle, meaning it has real essential oils instead of artificial fragrance. That is very important to those of us sensitive to such fragrance. My only complaint about this candle is that it does not smell as strongly of mint in a sinus-clearing way as the actual essential oil does, but I haven't found a natural candle that does yet. So far, I've had to rely on simmering the oils for that.

However, I find the aroma to be both slightly invigorating and slightly relaxing at the same time. It may be a little bit my frame of mind because I light it when I do yoga, but I think it is a lovely blend. I also have such congested sinuses that it could actually have a stronger aroma than what I perceive - my sense of smell can be a little dulled sometimes.

I also think it lasts quite well. I'm not sure what type of candles the reviewers use who say it burns too quickly, but I think that for a small candle it burns slowly. Especially compared to tea light candles which I often use.

I also like the tin container for safety. And a little note on price - the Amazon prices, even with shipping, are about the same as the manufacturer site with their much higher shipping cost (and you have to get $100 of stuff there to get free shipping). It's so much easier just to add one or two candles to my order on Amazon. I'm definitely going to try other fragrances, especially lavender. The price is much better than some other "designer" aromatherapy tin and glass candles - a bargain, really, compared to many.

My family buys easily at least $60 worth of candles a month to brighten our gray Pacific Northwest home during the long fall/winter months. We were concerned over what our long and frequent candle burning was putting into our air, so we've changed to all-natural aromatherapy candles. We did some research on Plantlife and, despite the cost per ounce being well above the limit we keep to, purchased a 3 oz tin of the eucalyptus-peppermint scent to test out the candle brand. We'd just bought a bulk shipment of another brand--eucalyptus--that was obviously artificially scented and absolutely putrid, so we looked forward to the Plantlife product. Alas, we're just as disappointed, but for another reason. We lit the candle in our smallest room for three hours and could smell nothing at all. The only reason we paid as much as we did for a tiny tin of all natural candle product was our anticipation of a natural but strong minty scent. We regularly buy an all natural plant wax candle (glass jar, 16 oz) with pure cotton wicks at a cost of less than one dollar per ounce--and it burns perfectly--never any wasted wax. So finding a 3-5 millimeter unburned ring of wax around the three-hour burned core of this tiny tin only deepened our disappointment. Kudos to Plantlife for adding another cruelty-free, relatively environmentally benign product to the candle line; supporting such a company is the only saving grace for my family in this purchase experience. But there are far, far better choices (complete burning, natural but more potent scent) out there for far less money. We'll be sticking to them from now on.
