I was sent 3 of their candles Coconut, Grapefruit and Mangosteen, and Peppermint and Eucalyptus .
I opened each candle when they first arrived and smelt them all - they all smelt amazing before they were even lit.
The boxes the candles came in were beautiful and delicate - with the brand clearly on the front as well as the scent of the candle and the logo on the top of the box. Each box had instructions and candle care inside which I think is a great idea, and it means the box or glass is not packed with information. They were steady and well put together, they felt like good quality. The packaging of the candles themselves were simple and elegant - a simple misty glass with the collection and scent written on the front.
Each candle is 215g (net weight) and will last approx 50 hours - which is a really long time.
The first candle I tried was the Grapefruit and Mangosteen - the scent was so strong but not overpowering in anyway, I lit the candle for around 2 hours, it hardly left a dent in the wax....A friend came over shortly after I lit it (upstairs) and commented on how nice the house smelt, the scent had drifted throughout. It was very citrusy and sweet - it made me think of being in a shower for some reason, with really fruity shower gel, thats the only way I can describe it. I was feeling quite down and had a lot of course work to do - so I lit it again in the evening, the scent really seemed to help lift my mood and did help to relax me. This is by far my favourite scent of the three and my friend loved it to. Once I have used this candle up I will definitely purchase this candle as I thought it was so relaxing, a great scent which was always there but not too overpowering and it filled up the whole room effortlessly.
The next night I tried out the Peppermint and Eucalyptus candle - this scent reminded me of a spa I went to, before I lit it I thought the scent was quite strong - however once I lit it, it didn't seem to be as strong as the Grapefruit & Mangosteen one. I liked the scent but it didn't seem to be as strong as the other....I probably wouldn't use this one as much but its great for those of you who don't like such strong scents. I don't think I would purchase this scent again, not because I don't like it, just because I am one of these people who likes a stronger candle. A lot of people I know would probably prefer this one because its scent is not too strong.
Lastly I tried the coconut scented candle and I loved it, I love coconut and I was so excited to try, as with all the candles smelling it before I lit it, it was really quite strong. When I lit the candle I was surprised at how little I could smell...the scent didn't seem to be there all the time and it was just in the background drifting in and out. I loved it, and did find it quite relaxing to sit with though and I would definitely purchase this in the future. I think coconut is quite a subtle scent anyway and doesn't need to be as strong.
Tranquil Earth's candles are made from 100% Soya Wax, this means they burn longer, the source of which they come from is renewable (soya beans), its toxin free, natural, and its easy to clean up. The wicks are unbleached and they are scented with essential oils - all these things make these candles amazing!!
