Pros: I LOVE this candle and I'm looking forward to trying other scents.

| Donnie013's Full Review: Febreze Candles |
Back when I was a little girl, one of my favorite scents was the aroma of my grandma's apple pie baking in her oven. In my teens, I enjoyed when my dad baked his famous barbecue ribs and now, the aroma of my slow-cooker pot roast really gets the mouth watering.
Yet, there are certain smells that you really don't want lingering in your house. Fish is one. Since we do a lot of fishing (hubby is out playing on his boat as I write this), it stands to reason that usually once each week, my house smells like a seatrout!
Of course, after a jaunt in the harbor, our clothes also small like fish.
When those odors begin to get to me, I reach for my little lighter and touch the flame to the wick on my new FREBREZE CANDLE.
That's right! Febreze now makes scented candles.
Candles are a good way to help eliminate odors in the home but Febreze has an odor-eliminating core right inside the candle.
As the wax melts, the core is revealed eliminating the odor and leaving a fantastic scent behind.
Each candle will burn for about thirty hours giving you many days of pleasure.
The candle comes is a simple but elegant heavy glass holder that measures 3-1/4 inches in diameter and 3-3/4 inches in height. The heavy lead glass holder with the large candle weights about one pound and it's one pound of pure delight!
The candles come in five awesome scents:
Meadows & Rain™
Spring & Renewal™
Linen & Sky™
Vanilla & Refresh™
Apple Spice & Delight™
The one I have is Apple Spice & Delight and boy! It sure is a delight. You can actually smell the apples and cinnamon. Takes me back to my grandma's kitchen.
Look, I'm not saying you should take my word alone for how great these candles are. Just buy one and see for yourself. They'll be available in stores in July (2007) and the price is (depending on your store) about $6.99.
Really, they are worth the money.
Just remember - this is a candle with an active flame so precautions should be followed.
I'd like to thank Hass MS&L's for sending me this candle in exchange for my honest review. Hey guys, I LOVE IT!!
UPDATE
I'm glad I was asked to answer a few questions about this candle since my experience might not be the same as other reviewers. It gives me a chance to rethink what I've experienced and what I've written. So here goes.
Q
How long did you burn it for and under what circumstances?
A
I had finished cooking my trout for dinner and noticed that dinner being long over, the fishy odor lingered. I burned the candle for only 90 minutes and the fishy smell was gone - even long after I extinguished the candle's flame.
Q
What odors were present and did this candle actually ELIMINATE (or partially/mostly eliminate) as it claims to have the odor eliminating core... or did it simply mask the odors while you were burning it.
A
As I said in question 1, my house smelled like the fish I just cooked. After 90 minutes of burning the candle, the small was GONE..... completely. Even long after I extinguished the candle's flame, the fishy odor didn't return.
On a side note - - I noticed that in my laundry room, the odor of wet towels had been present as is usual before laundry day. (That's why I don't keep the door completely open) When I opened the door the next day in order to do my laundry, the dirty towel odor was also eliminated - which says to me that as the scent from the candle travels from room to room, it is eliminating a variety of unwanted odors - even ones you may not realize are there (because you've lived with them so long).
Let me add another note which I feel is important:
It was just an ironic coincidence that I received my candle the say I planned on cooking fish so I had the opportunity to use it immediately.
Now, I'm using it - not just to kill any odors in the air but to give my home a beautiful scent that brings back memories. I really am looking forward to using the other scents to see what memories they might bring back.
I hope this clears things up but if anyone would like more information, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Thanks for reading.
