Buy it! You will love the massage!
This brought our sex life to a new height sensually. The massages felt great and the smell was wonderful. I highly recommend this product.Published: February 24, 2010
Pros:
Oily not waxy, brush included.
Cons:
Brush can be hard to clean, and can harden into candle wax.
I tried out the Afterglow Candle by Jimmyjane and I have to say I looooved it. The candle melts into a massage oil that you can use to give your partner a lovely massage. I thought for sure it would feel waxy but it really does feel like massage oil. The set we got also came with a brush which tickles and feels good all at once. I tried it on my arm to test the body oil and was amazed. I expected waxy and got pure oily. No waxy feeling and plenty of time to give a great massage. The oil really lasts.
There's really nothing I have to say about this candle other than BUY IT! It's amazing. We got the Dark Vanilla scent but there are a few others to choose from. The scent made all the difference to us, but it's entirely up to you what you choose. Just make sure it's "manly" enough for your partner to enjoy, too. The candle comes with a brush (like a blush brush)and the matches. It's sexier somehow to light with matches isn't it? Or is that just me? It just screams sensuality from all angles as you start to use the oil when it melts.
The candle really brought my husband and me closer together. Our sex life became less monotonous and more about each other. After we put our son to bed, we can relax and focus on massaging each other with the oils. If it doesn't lead to sex, we still feel like we've had our intimate time, and sometimes it does lead to a nice slow extended session full of romance. It's hard to find a product like this when you have children. It's brought back a feeling of love and sensuality I honestly thought was lost. This candle is great! Some even say it has magical powers.

Jimmy Jane Afterglow candles- Best Scent?
-
what's the best Jimmy Jane afterglow scent? or the better ones?
-
Well, first off, there are lots of threads on the scent of these candles already. But ignoring that, I think it's really up to your preference in smell.
In my experience, all the scents are fairly high quality, so it just depends on what you like. I personally favor the Dark Vanilla and Bourbon scents. My good friend prefers the Water Cucumber, while it is totally not for me. Some people love the Truffle Gardenia, but it's comparatively very floral. I would really like to try the Vetiver Honey in the ember series.
My recommendation would be to go with what is most similar to your usual favorite scent. Sweet edibles? Masculine spices? Flowers? Citrus? Or you could always try the sampler. More expensive but awesome :-) -

The special edition scents look tempting, but I would also like to make sure I purchase something both my partner and I would like. Also I kind of wanted to get a general sense of what is most widely liked. Which I feel I could have gotten with a poll, but unfortunately I am not sure how to do that. I did see a post explaining that to post a poll it the option is next to the post discussion option, but I have seen no such poll option.

Can you describe the scents of the Afterglow massage candles from Jimmyjane?
-
If your own words and from your own personal experience can you please describe what the different scents are like? I'm having trouble deciding on which ones to get. Thanks! =]

I did a review on the Afterglow Sampler set, but this is what I have with the scents.
Cucumber Water smells like a crisp, clear, watered down version of a cucumber melon scent, and is quite possibly my favorite. Pink Lotus has a decidedly floral scent to it; not overpowering but definitely there. It's hard to pinpoint anything more specific than "floral" for me on that one. Truffle + Gardenia (the special edition one, also available as a regular Ember candle) is also hard for me to pinpoint. It smells like an earthy floral to me, a more involved scent. Bourbon smells sweet to me, almost like molasses or something else I'd bake with. Dark Vanilla still smells like a generic "vanilla cookie" scent to me. And Grapefruit. To me, there's a hint of citrus and a whole lot more of something I can't put my finger on. When I first smelled it I thought back to the Habanero + Grapefruit mini Ember I have, only this is a little less spicy to the nose. JJ claims notes of grapefruit, bell peppers, and mandarin for this one. -
Thanks! I think the ones I want to try most are Dark Vanilla, Cucumber Water, and the Truffle Gardenia... and the Bourbon. Jeez I want to smell them all. Choosing which to buy online is difficult but I'm sure whichever one I choose I'll love it anyway. =]

I was just curious - Jimmyjane has changed the style of the Afterglow candle to the "pour spout" that's rocked by the Ember. Is EF still selling the old style with the brush as indicated by the picture?
FYI I'm in favor of the pour divot format! -
This is something I'd like to know, too. *Bump*
-
The new version features a spout for easy pouring and that is what currently available on EF.

Thank you for viewing Afterglow – massage candle review page!
Thanks for the review.
Thanks for the review. I'm glad you had fun with it
Nice review. It would be great if you could add some information about how you clean the brush though, since you say in the cons section it can be hard to clean. Thanks!
Welcome to the community!
How is cleanup on the skin and sheets?
Welcome to EF! Thanks for the review.
How strong is the scent? It sounds like this would be a wondrful addition to my massage oils but both my guys have very sensitive noses and sneezing is just NOT sexxy!
It's great to see this product works so well for you and your husband.
how long does the oil last?
THANK U 4 THE REVIEW!
