What owners single out
In their words
“I genuinely can’t understand the positive reviews. This candle has such a cheap smell that made me nauseous, had to blow it out immediately. Also, the candle came in very poor condition, the box had the top and part of the front totally ripped off.”
Demi · verified purchase · bloomingdales.com
“I preferred bamboo because it’s a favorite I didn’t personally care for it. They wouldn’t send a sample scent and now I’m stuck with it because I opened it. How else was I supposed to smell it???”
