Swan Creek CandleRoasted Espresso 24 Oz Jar (Tan)

First things first: No problems at all with the lid, which twisted off easily (I almost didn't buy the candle because of all the reviews about the lid not coming off)! So, hopefully, whatever the problem was with the lids, it has been fixed.Finally! A great, strong scent (even if it isn't the exact coffee scent you're looking for, this scent IS pleasant - maybe a bit sweet but not overwhelmingly - and unmistakably a coffee scent) that made my whole house smell good. I have avoided buying Swan Creek for quite some time, because of limited funds thanks to the coronavirus pandemic and losing my job. The cheap $5 candles are good for a little bit of light, but not for any kind of long-lasting fragrance or even a scent that's strong enough to smell unless you stick your nose right down into it. This roasted espresso smells better than good, from the living room where it sits on the fireplace, to the hallway leading to the library and bedrooms and beyond. I can leave it lit for longer periods of time and it burns evenly and slowly. I am so glad I bought it, despite its being costly - it's worth it.

Swan Creek's candles is my favorite candle brand, and the Roasted Espresso is in my top three favorite scents that they carry. This scent has a strong cold throw as well as when burning - and it will fill any room it is burning in and beyond.Scents are such a personal preference to everyone, and whether or not this is an actual 'espresso' scent really doesn't matter to me - I smell this to be a good strong, dark coffee bean scent - and what's not to love about that?!The 24 oz size is the best value, in my opinion (unless you get the refill container.) I tend to burn my candles for hours and hours at a time enjoying the scent, so I go through candles more quickly. I have noticed that Swan Creek's candles seem to last longer than many other candles that I have tried... thus my returning again and again to purchase from them.Speaking of refills, these Swan Creek glass jars are reusable - just clean out the old wax with a paper towel when it is burned down, take out the old wick base, hot glue a new wick inside (the correct size wick for the jar), and pour in the melted refill wax of choice. Let it set up (hold the wick in place wrapped over a chop stick or something before trimming down ) and you have another candle for less money. Simple. (Look for refill wax containers and wick packages from Swan Creek.)The seller (Lampstand) shipped the glass jar candle very - very well packed - and to me-it is worth the extra shipping charge to have it arrive undamaged.

Very pleased with how strong the scent is. Even just the lid in my kitchen alone had the scent in there lol while i love how strongbthe scent is it smells more like sweet hazelnut coffee than espresso so its not what i was looking for and plan to gift it cuz its annoying me. Even the sticker on it says coffee but then espresso. Those are 2 different scents to ME. Its great product at a fair price so still gets 5 stars. It will be a great gift!

We love the scent of this candle. Burn time is great. Have purchased a few of them.

It reminds me of home. People walk in my house and wonder why my house smells deliciously of coffee. Long lasting. Highly recommend.

The roasted espresso scent is one of a kind. It’s strong but oh so good, this is my 3rd one! I tried other brands and nothing has come close. I highly recommend!

This is our favorite candle company and favorite candle. Smells great, long lasting, high quality.

Great candle that burns clean and has a smooth, warm aroma. Fun tip; put a small piece of aluminum foil over the top, about half across, when the candle is lit and the candle will burn even across. Perfect size and a wonderful value.
