The Sorting Candle

Came right on time and it smells like birthday cake icing before burning. Wish it was more fragrant while burning though! It put me in Gryffindor but I’m definitely a Slytherin haha

Liquid Luck Coffee and Sorting Candle

This was my first order from SCB Mercantile and I was NOT disappointed. I will definitely be buying this coffee again - the smell and taste are divine. Good with or without sugar and the packaging is so cute.

The Sorting Candle is also great - I’d been curious about the candles and this was a great first candle! I think the color is yellow? It’s definitely not the same color it was when I started burning it, but it really doesn’t matter. The scent is so cosy, not overpowering at all which is important because my partner is sensitive to strong fragrances, and I’ve had it for weeks now and it truly looks like I just got the candle. Very impressed!

Delightful idea, execution needs work

First off, I love the candles I have gotten from CBM. They all have burned really well and don't have overpowering scents. So when I saw the sorting candle with the delightful mystery of the color change and the warm scent profile, please take my money!
My order arrived very quickly (as they always do), and I was delighted with the scent. It was subtle but cozy. I immediately lit it (with the included matches) and waited.
I assumed with the color changing feature that there would be some sort of dye pod in the middle, and figured i would have to burn a long time to get to it. So I was delighted when within an hour I could see a hint of blue emerging in the center of the candle! As it burned, any wax that was melted turned a pale blue. It was very fun!
And then, as the candle got close to half way done, the dye started to run out. The pale blue turned to sickly green as it was watered down by the cream colored wax. Finally, at 2/3 burned, it is back to cream.
I was so disappointed. What started out as an amazingly whimsical idea was over before my candle was even half gone. Sure, it still smells nice and it's still a nice candle in a jar, but the dye should absolutely not have run out so quickly.
I will still buy more candles in the future, but unless I see an improved formula for this particular one, I advise going for a charm candle instead.
