Pastel Macaroons Home Candle, 10.6 oz.
Product Details
Web ID: 12882670Returned
For a $140 candle, I had modest expectations that the candle would arrive ready to gift. I'd have done better buying a candle from a discount retailer for $10. Item arrived out of it's box, the ribbon (which had tape on both sides of the bow) off. There were several large black marks across the ceramic candle container which could not be removed. Despite the description and other reviews noting an almond aroma (which makes sense for a candle named for an almond-based cookie) the candle smelled strongly of fake floral perfume. I had to wait 10 days for a mailed gift card for my refund instead of a return to my credit card or digital gift card, meanwhile I had no gift to give the intended recipient.
Beautiful, homely, rich smelling scent.
Beautiful smelling candle, if you like a homely fresh baked cookies smell. My only complaint is that the jar was stained and looked like a pottery factory seconds. The lid was wavy and a poor fit and there were two stains in the pottery. I'm just glad this was a birthday gift to myself because I would not be able to gift this as a gift to anyone. Even the packaging was missing the cross grain bow. I would expect more for nearly £100. However, the Wild Berry & Bramble candle that I bought previously was perfect.

Cookie mixup?
I came across this today at Neiman Marcus and while I loved the scent, I have to wonder if you have your cookies mixed up. This has a delicious sweet almond scent, much like a macaron, which can and are made, in pretty much any color and flavor of filling. It smells nothing like a macaroon, which would be very much coconut scented and never pastel.

Heaven
Words can not describe how happy I am with this purchase. The scent is so sweet and cozy. Not too warm, perfect for spring or winter. It's fragrance literally made me feel like I was walking in through a friends front door, after school and having baked sweets waiting for me. I have never had a candle actually remind me of a memory. This scent is so beautiful. Jo Malone has blown me away. The candle is also in such a beautiful container. I will say for the price I was shock at how small it was. But will I repurchase, ABSOLUTELY!

Almond Candle
Again, save yourself a couple of bucks unless you really want to use the bisque holder after smells just like their Almond candle just remarketed under a new name.

Best fragrance ever
This candle looks beautiful, I love the decorative jar. I think this is the new look candle of the original sweet almond and macaroon, as it smells the same. The smell of this candle is one of the best one Jo Malone offer (in my opinion) it smells like you have something gorgeous and sweet baking in the kitchen, it's gorgeous. Not overpowering, but just strong enough. I wish they offered a reed diffuser in this scent too.
