Setting the mood for a night of passion
this item is definitely worth it if you are wanting to set a passionate mood for a nice evening. If you have a small room I suggest leaving the doors open after you are done to let it air out a bit unless you enjoy smelling it for a while. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves giving or receiving massages from your partner it makes a great evening even better :)Published: July 28, 2008
Pros:
amazing mood setter, great relaxing feeling
Cons:
smell stays in small rooms for a while
Definitely afterglow candle in the scent of pink lotus has come to be one of my favorite candles for night time passion. After recently having our first child our love life had been a little strained so I knew we needed to spice it up a bit and knowing that massage was something we could both enjoy we decided to go for it and we were not disappointed in the least we love it.
Honestly we were a little skeptical about the whole idea of a massage candle and I was a little worried about the feeling of hot wax on my bare skin but it was amazing. I have used warm wax treatments on my hands before to soften them but never on other parts of my body. The feeling of your skin afterwards is nothing short of amazing! Also we were worried that it would be something we would only be able to use once due to how small the candle is but we were amazed to find that we are able to use it multiple times on both of us.
We enjoy the look of the candle because it is something that we can leave out in the open and it doesn't look tacky also we like the fact that it comes with its own box of matches that we can leave next to it and not have to hunt for things when we need them.
We thought that it might be aggravating to have something that you have to set up early before you are ready to use it but it hasn't been difficult at all we set it up and go do some small things around the house for 30 mins. and we are ready to go so it hasn't been a trouble at all.
This product has made many happy nights for us both and it is definitely something I would recommend to anyone who is looking to add a little bit of passion to their love life.

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. =]

Afterglow Packaging

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!
I love massage candles. They've easily become one of my favorite romantic mood-setters.
The candle doesn't say what kind of wax (paraffin, beeswax, etc.) it is, by any chance?
CW, forgive my ignorance, but does the type of candle influence how it can be used? Nice review, Sassy.
You said the smell stays in the room for a little while. Do you mean the smell of the candle, or the smell of the match or the smell of it going out *the birthday cake smell* ?
Great review! Just added it to my wish list!
THANK U 4 THE REVIEW!
