Citrus Crush Vanity Blik Kaars

The throw is fantastic for a tin this size—lit it in my bedroom and the sandalwood-muddled fruit scent drifted all the way down the hall. Burned evenly for a few hours with no tunneling, and the mandarin note stays bright without turning artificial.

The moment I lit this candle, the mandarin came through bright and fresh, not fake or syrupy like so many citrus scents. It burns evenly and the scent fills my whole living room without ever feeling overpowering.

The sandalwood base really grounds the mandarin and fruit notes—it fills my whole bedroom without ever going sharp or cloying. Burn time feels generous and steady, and I like that the wax is thoughtfully designed down to the wick. This one’s already earned a permanent spot on my desk.
