Afterglow - massage candle by Jimmyjane - review by BeautifulDarkness

I really loved this candle. It is one of the best candles I have ever owned. When I bought it I was worried about the smell. I had never smelled anything called Black Current before, but I really like the way it smells. It is a flowery scent, not like the rose scent though. The glass jar it comes in is very elegant. You could easily use this for any occasion. I recommend it for a romantic night, so guys if you want to surprise your lady with a relaxing night with or without a massage, this would be great.

The oil that the candle becomes is amazing. A little of the oil can go a long way. In fact, I used too much when I used it for the first time. I only intended to use it on my husband’s back and ended up using it on his arms and neck too. The brush does help to not use too much when applying it. I do recommend only dabbing a small amount of oil to the brush at a time. The oil is not sticky; it’s very smooth and leaves your skin very soft. After I blew out the flame I tested the oil to make sure it wasn’t too hot, and to my surprise it felt nice. I was expecting it to very hot like a wax candle. The smell of the candle will fill the whole room and will leave your skin smelling like it too.

When I received my candle in the mail it came in a nice white Jimmyjane box. On the front of the box it has a picture of the candle itself and the name Afterglow. When you open it up there are three things in the box: the candle, a brush, and a small box of matches. I loved that it came with matches, no need to hunt down a lighter or matches if you don’t keep them around. Also included is small handbook.

The handbook provides you with quite a bit of useful information. It does have all of the info in several languages, so if it's easier for you to read in another language you can. The languages included are: English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Hollands. Some of the information it gives are safety tips, ingredients, and how to use the candle. All of the safety tips it provides are common ones that you get with any candle, except one that I thought may be important to some people. This candle is for external use only and is not intended for use as a lubricant. I think that would be the only way they could improve this candle.

The only cleaning that is required for this product is for the brush. The handbook says that you can use warm water and shampoo to clean it. I just used some dish soap and water and then shook the brush out in the sink. I do recommend cleaning the brush before it dries, or else it may be harder to clean.
