Vela columna pequeña perfumada Citrus Crush – Illume Candles

The mandarin and sandalwood combo really shines when lit — the muddled fruit keeps it sweet without going syrupy. Burns clean and even, which is all I ask from a pillar candle.

The throw is surprisingly strong for a smaller candle—I lit it in the living room and could smell the mandarin and sandalwood from the hallway. Burns nice and even, and the muddled fruit note comes through without getting overly sweet.

The sandalwood base really anchors the mandarin so it doesn’t turn sharp—my whole hallway smells like a summer orchard without being cloying. It burns evenly down the sides, and even near the end the fragrance stays true.
