I am so disappointed. I love Lelo products, so I figured that The Lelo Flickering Touch Massage Oil Candle would be a safe bet. I was wrong.

The candle comes in a nice box, simply stating Lelo on the front. Everything else is very small on it so it is very discreet no one will know what it is. Once opened the candle comes in a black glass jar, a silver metal lid with a colored plastic ring on top. The ring varies in color depending on the scent that you get. The scents to choose from are Black Pepper & Pomegranate (with a red ring), Vanilla & Creme De Cacoa (with a burgundy ring), and Snow Pear & Cedarwood (with a green ring). The candle itself is 5.3 ounces.

I got the Snow Pear & Cedarwood. While I would think that this would have to smell good, it smelled more like soap than anything else. Not a particularly good soap at that. Once it was lit, I think it smelled even worse. The scent is very faint and if you step a few feet away, it is non-existent.

With th e other massage candles that I have, if you burn them for 30-45 minutes you have an ample amount of oil to begin your massage. I waited and waited and waited. After almost an hour and a half, I finally had enough oil to call my husband back into the bedroom, where his first question was "What's that smell?" Not quite the response that I had hoped for.

I used a spoon that came with a different candle (this one doesn't come with one) and spooned a small amount of oil onto his back. Now the oil itself is pretty good. It isn't gritty like some that you come across, so in this respect it is pretty good. The oil lasts a long time and doesn't leave a waxy residue on your skin. It also stays an oil long enough for you to massage it into the skin.

As far as a massage oil, as long as you are willing to wait a long time to get the oil, it is good. But as for a candle, personally I will pass on this product in the future. For the price I expected a lot more.
