A scent of scandal - candle by A Scent of Scandal - review by Upskirt

This is an eight ounce candle, it comes in a metal tin which is recyclable. All of the A Scent of Scandal candles are hand-poured, and made with 100% soy wax with all cotton wicks. The candles are not meant to be used as a massage candles, but I don't see why it couldn't be. They are not going to melt into a massage oil. I haven't tried melting this and putting in on my skin, but it would probably leave a waxy residue. Its best use would be to be used as an aroma candle and mood enhancer, something to make a room, dorm, or apartment smell nice. If you can't burn these (i.e. you're in a dorm or an apartment where you're not allowed to light candles), you could use a wax heater, coffee warmer, or really anything that would warm up the tin. I could see cutting the candle into large chunks and putting it in a wax warmer if you have one and couldn't burn the candles as well. I think these would work really great as gifts, they all come with really cute names and there's TONs of scents!


(My bedroom is about 15'x10' and I can smell this about 5-6 feet away but it doesn't make my WHOLE room smell like the candle)

Since candles don't really have texture, consistency, etc. This shall be my care and safety section.

•Remember to trim the wick of your candle to about 1/4", if your candle is smoking, blow it out, wait for it to cool and trim the wick.
•Burn your candle on a fire resistant surface.(I put my candles on a ceramic tile I made at a pottery store.)
•Leave 1/4" of wax at the bottom of your candle jar, tin, votive, etc.
•Don't leave candles unattended
•Don't leave wick trimmings in the wax of your candle.

The smell really reminded me of carrot cake not burning, right out of the package. When it is burning it has a sweet baking smell, not exactly reminiscent of carrot cake. This didn't start to smell right after burning and took about 20 or so minutes of burning to get the aroma in the air. The scent isn't a particularly overwhelming or really potent/strong, but it's not light enough that it's not noticeable. This isn't something that will make your whole house smell, but more limited to one room. I imagine in an apartment or dorm room this could possibly smell more.

The Scent of Scandal website lists the burn time as 30 to 35 hours, Eden lists it as 35 hours. The bottom of the tin says to stop burning before al the wax completely runs out so I would say 30-35 is a more accurate guesstimate of burn time.
What I like best about this product:
•Simple, discreet packaging
•Cute, naughty names
•Vegan
•Cruelty-free
•Recyclable tin
•Lovely scent, not too over-powering

The one thing that I didn't like about the candle, so far is that the first time I tried to light the candle it was really hard to get the wick to start burning. I'm not sure if that's because of how it's made or that was just me. Not a huge concern, it was just annoying at the time.

The candle comes in an 8 ounce metal tin. It's very simple and effective; I love that this comes in a tin rather than a glass votive. The bottom of the tin has some safety and care tips for your candle, it also includes the website that the candle is vegan, cruelty-free, and recyclable. This doesn't look like it comes from a 'sex shop' it just looks like a candle and no one's going to guess where you got it.

This product is vegan, recyclable, and cruelty-free.

They also have three scents on their website which 15% of your purchase goes to:

Farm sanctuary: "Works to protect farm animals from cruelty, inspire change in the way society views and treats farm animals, and promote compassionate vegan living" from their website which you can find here

Through grassroots filmscreenings, and workshops, activism and lifestyle coaching, and community programs, we empower people to make personal choices that align with their values of justice, peace, respect for the earth and compassion for all living beings" from their website which you can find more information from here

Sea shepard: "Uses innovative direct-action tactics to investigate, document, and take action when necessary to expose and confront illegal activities on the high seas. By safeguarding the biodiversity of our delicately-balanced ocean ecosystems, Sea Shepherd works to ensure their survival for future generations." from their mission statement which you can find here
