Our Own Candle Company, Coconut Lime Scented Mason Jar Candle, 100 Hour Burn Time,13 Ounces

I love this candel. It burns/melts evenly and slowly. Has lasted longer then the name brands! Smells great, though it is not a strong scent.

Alright, sit down because boy do I have a tale to spin with this lovely little candle at the center of it.One day as I was cleaning up my apartment I was unimpressed with the smell of dust at paper. I wanted something new and bold that would really kick me in the nostrils whenever I walked in, but in a good way. I started browsing for candles and lo and behold, I stumbled upon the candles by Our Own Candle Company Brand, and what lovely candles they are. I started with their french vanilla and cedarwood vanilla, both of which are wonderful as well. I felt really boring by just sticking to vanilla after going through two 100 hour burn candles, so I started my search for something that would add more spice to my smelling experience. Strangely enough I ignored all of the candles that mentioned any sort of spice, so one could assume that my previous statement is a stretch at best.In my search I came upon this Coconut Lime candle and thought to myself, "Man, that sounds wonderful, and look, just as inexpensive as the rest. This is the candle. This shall be burned as an offering to my nose." I put it in my cart alongside another french vanilla because although I was looking for change I am a creature of habit, checked out, and waited. The candles arrived to my really rural and tiny town in two days, so this is also a shout out to Amazon Prime. Keep up the awesome work. I unboxed the candles, individually popped all of the bubbles in the bubblewrap(They are the kind with the really big bubbles that are super satisfying to pop, so it is extra fun, unless you are someone that likes to twist and squeeze the tiny bubble bubblewrap, then I am afraid you will be disappointed with the packaging.) trimmed the coconut lime wick, lit it, and relaxed.This next part requires skipping forward in time when I had gone about 1/3 of the way through my candle. It is worth mentioning that I live in an apartment that has really strict rules about flammables, namely that they are not allowed. It came with an oven and I have set numerous things on fire with it, though, so I think it is a silly rule. Well one day I got a knock on the door from the person in charge of making sure rooms aren't destroyed and mildly panicked because I had this wonderful candle going. I didn't know where the lid was so I threw a measuring cup on it to put it out and trap any smoke it would make afterwards, but the thing I did not realize was that this measuring cup has a bit of water in it. I muttered obscenities to myself and tried to take the measuring cup off, only to drop the candle and break some of the glass from the mason jar. I thought, "Oh, to hell with it, I will just answer the door and take a fine." but it turned out that I was just getting a flier for some meeting I had to attend. With that issue resolved I turned back to my candle.The water had done two things. It had instantly hardened the wax while also separating itself out, leading to a lumpy appearance, like the candle had lots of pimples, but filled with beautiful-smelling water instead of pus. I thought about how I could fix the candle after this happened. THIS IS THE PRECAUTIONARY PART OF THE TALE. ACCEPT YOUR LOSSES AND LAMENT OVER THE FACT THAT YOUR IDIOCY LOST YOU 2/3(6$ worth) OF THIS WONDERFUL, FIVE STAR CANDLE. I did not do this. I decided to repair the candle, like the genius that I am.If you are going to ignore the warning in all caps above, I will list the steps to repair the candle in order.1. Put the ruined candle in a pot of water and gently bring to a boil.2. After the water is boiling wait for the entirety of the candle to melt.3. The candle should separate into two layers. The top layer will be your candle wax and the bottom will be water.4. Once liquefied place the candle somewhere to cool and remove the wick. (I fished mine out with a butter knife)5. Wait for the wax to completely solidify.6. Once the wax is solid, poke holes down to the bottom of the jar so the water may escape. (I used the same butter knife)7. Melt the wax in a boiling water bath once again and return the wick to its position.8. Allow the candle to cool. It is now ready for use.That all sounds well and good, doesn't it? I got all the way to step 7 when things went wrong. I put the wick back and picked up the jar WHEN THE DAMN THING EXPLODED. I guess boiling already cracked glass was the glaring flaw in this whole thing, but maybe someone can repeat this process with an undamaged jar to confirm my suspicions.So now I have a kitchen and myself covered in wax that is quickly solidifying. Great. Do you know how to clean up large spills of wax? I sure as hell don't. I spent half an hour scraping bits of wax off of my oven, sink, cabinets, floor, and cookware with a spatula. This didn't get all of it, so I just got paper towels and spread around what was left so that it is not visible and has no lumps. I then skated around in wax-slicken socks to distribute the wax on the floor. THIS IS THE BEST PART OF THE CLEANUP PROCESS. IT IS ARGUABLY WORTH THE REST OF THE MESS. It isn't like I am staying in this apartment forever, and all I really need is to not get caught.So what was the result of everything?1. I have a novelty water-resistant sink.2. My entire apartment smells like I burned this whole candle at once. It is amazing.3. I smell like the candle. Even after a shower I smell faintly of coconut and lime and I feel very smooth. I'm a guy. It is like a smell-good waxing that does not involve any pain and removes no hair.4. The bag of trash sitting in my kitchen is the best smelling bag of trash ever.5. I get to order another one of the Our Own Candle Company Brand candles much sooner than expected.All in all it has been a fun experience. Both myself and my apartment smell fantastic. Even if you skip the part with the candle exploding and having to panic and clean up the mess you get a less intense but still thoroughly enjoyable scent. I got about 30 hours out of about 1/3 of the candle, so the 100 burn hours claim still holds, I think.5/5, I would definitely recommend this candle to anyone, though I may not necessarily wish my experience with it on them.

Okay okay okay.... so I had to write a RAVE review for these guys. The ONLY "negative" review I've read and can see being of any relevance is the one about the small room/ black smoke issue. Not 100% sure on total burn hours from the first one I ordered, but it has lasted me 2 months of pretty habitual/ multi-hour burning (so far, and still has several more burn hours left at least! Still about an inch of wax left in the jar). None of my wicks have had any issues; I have not tested out the customer service with the company, but I would be interested to know if the broken handle/ wick issue that other reviewers mentioned would have been easily rectified. I wouldn't blame a broken handle on a glass mason jar on the seller, that was likely damaged in shipping... and it's a GREAT, lonnnnnng-burning, beautifully scented candle for ~$10 so it's not going to be delivered in a friggin' tank of armour...!!!! (first world problems, right?!) Get a grip. Amazon has never denied me a return/ exchange when a product arrived damaged.SO, shall we proceed with the raving? Alrighty then.I have purchased 3 candles from these guys, 2 of which were this very scent. I have a large open front room/ dining room/ kitchen, and in that giant space, ONE candle gives the whole area an amazing scent (we're talking roughly 600-700 square feet here, folks). Oh, did I mention I have 4 cats (along with 4 litter boxes) in this big open area? Yeah, it can get pretty ripe in a room when they lay a fresh log down! BEFORE OOCC candles entered my life, catching the whiff of various things could encourage a room to be cleared! Roommate with their stinky shoes/ feet? Boyfriend cooking salmon for dinner? Come home to a crawfish boil? Fish jump out of the tank while you were at work? None of those things will bother you for long once you get OOCC candles in your life!Now, when I burn my OOCC candle, when you first walk in, the scent is distinctly noticeable, and people have been fooled that something good was being made in the kitchen at first whiff.. mmmmm, MMMMM that there smells good, don't it?! NOMPALICIOUS!! Yeah, buddy! No more issues for noses in my house! These candles are perfect, and the smell is NOT grossly overpowering like those raunchy cheap perfumed candles that might make you gag after burning it for too long ... I have also used my OOCC candles in the bathroom during showers or baths like aromatherapy (also good when you got too brave and tried Sushi at that buffet last night). Even in close quarters, he scent is still very light & pleasant to the nose (albeit definitely more concentrated). I'll burn these scented candles alongside much cheaper unscented pillar candles when I want a candlelit bath or just want the effect of multiple flames, because the only scented candle I need is my OOCC candle!!I HIGHLY suggest you take the plunge and try a scent that piques your interest. This Coconut Lime scent, to me, is just a very pleasant smooth Coconutty smell; if I didn't know the name of the candle, I wouldn't have known there was supposedly "lime" in scent, but regardless I ordered it because "coconut" was in the name, so I was very happy with the scent when it arrived. I've also ordered the Strawberry Lemonade scent, and it is also quite pleasant. I'd say a bit stronger than the Coconut Lime scent, which is more mellow. Both are fantastic options and I have no doubt I will be ordering several other varieties in the months and years to come......and affordable, long-lasting, great-smelling presents anyone?!?! Put these on your gift list NOW! I know I am!</rave>Sincerely,Firefly

Awesome burning candle that smells great. Just wish it was a little bigger for the price!

Love this candle. Aroma is wonderful! Nice slow burn.

It smells NOTHING like baby powder. Actually, when lit, I can’t rightfully smell ANYTHING.But the presentation was grand! They spent quite a bit on their packaging. It was top notch.

This candle is worth the price nice scent. Long lasting makes a great gift too

Will keep glass when Candle is finished. Fun to have a glass with a handle.

I love the smell of baby powder and this product didn't disappoint, it was strong but not overwhelming, the candle burns clean and long, nothing is waster. Truly impressed!! I look forward to trying other scents

Smells just like a root beer float.

You could smell the candle wick more than the fragrance. - very disappointing.

Love the smell of this candle, creamy orange aroma.

Didn't really have any scent nothing else to comment about
