this 2 ounce size is perfect for traveling, and was such a relaxing thing to use after a long day of tours in Europe.

This size of candle worked just fine for me. I have noticed that 15 minutes is the minimum amount of time you need to melt enough wax for a massage, but to get the most use out of the candle, the candle needs to be burned long enough to melt all the way to the edge of the container before extinguishing the flame.

The fragrance of this candle is like nothing else out there, and perfect for putting into carry-on bag for travel (it's only 2 fluid ounces). I've found this size gets many uses, and a little does go a long way. The reviewers that wrote prior to this one must have used too much wax at once. The instructions warn to not use too much at once.

I love the scent of this candle. It is fragrant, yet subtle, and the sandalwood and vanilla are perfectly matched. I like that the ingredients are all vegetable-based.

When cool, the candle is on the waxy side, unlike some other candles that melt almost to the touch, but once melted it turns into a warm oil with a silky feel that applies smoothly onto the skin.

The size is good, I think, and ought to last longer than smaller candles of this type.

To me, though, there are a couple of downsides. For one, I think it is quite expensive. While I do think it premium quality, and while any of the limited universe of similar products seem to be priced high, I just can't shake the feeling that this is not a good value. I like the candle very much and am happy with it, but I just think it's way too expensive for what it is: a candle little bigger than a tea light. The other issue I have with it is that the container - nicely finished square metal with a lit - does not melt all the wax at the corners as it burns. Even when left to burn for 15 minutes (which are the recommended instructions on the bottom of the candle) on a warm day, a significant portion of the wax remains un-melted and, thus, unusable. This does not help the value proposition that I mentioned above.

Value aside, this is a very nice massage candle with a wonderful scent and which feels great on the skin. If money were not an issue, I'd rate this higher. As it is, I can recommend this as massage candles go; for this reviewer, however, there is presently a disconnect between cost and value.

This candle is all good and fine if you just want a candle (although it's tiny, as people have mentioned). Doesn't work for massage oil. Clumps up as you would expect any other wax candle to if you dripped it on your skin. Should have listened to the other reviews and not bought.

The product itself is nice. However, the wick burned down the middle, leaving the surrounding wax (about half of it) unmelted and unusable (unless I figure out some other way to melt it).

Meant to get a candle, got this massage oil by mistake. Used it, but didn't like the texture. It was hard to wash off. I would not buy again
