Are you a Harry Potter fan? The books and movies have been a part of my life for years and years. I still vividly remember attending book release parties and midnight screenings. Oh, youth! Even though I am older (and possibly wiser)…Harry Potter is still a significant part of my life. I love to re-read the books every once and a while and the movies always make me smile. Plus, I have the Monster Book of Monsters and a replica wand on display in my home office. Needless to say, Harry Potter is something I never outgrew. Which explains my more recent purchase from Charmed Aroma. It is a Hufflepuff themed candle with a necklace inside. Now, this isn't my first time purchasing a Harry Potter themed item from the brand. Their cauldron candle revealed a sparkly potion bottle ring that I reviewed here. Want to find out what was inside the Hufflepuff candle? Keep reading for a Charmed Aroma review and reveal.
Unlike the cauldron candle from last time (which had adorable packaging) this is a little more expected. It is a two-wick candle in a basic round glass container. It is similar in shape and design to a lot of other Charmed Aroma and Bath & Bodyworks candles. This isn't necessarily a bad thing! However, I did really appreciate the creativity of the previous Harry Potter release. With this specific collection, there was a candle that represented each house. Being a Hufflepuff, it only made sense that I would take home that specific design home. It has a simple gold lid and a vibrant yellow design with the house crest in the center. The scent itself is sweet with a dash of citrus. According to the brand website, the candle contains orange zest, soft peach, and golden amber. The end result is something fresh and oh-so-sweet.
As for the burn time? It keeps going and going and going. Even though I have used this candle many times, an awful lot remains. This is a good thing. Especially because the foil packet containing my Hufflepuff necklace was right at the top. I was able to pull it out with a pair of tweezers after only a few hours. (Sometimes, those things are really buried down deep and it takes forever to uncover them!) Now that the necklace has been removed, the candle is simply a sweet and fresh pick-me-up.
There were five possible necklace designs inside. Though I liked all of them to varying degrees, there was one specific design that I was hoping for. The options included: the Hufflepuff badger, the Sorting Hat, Hogwarts crest, a necklace that said Hufflepuff, and a tie with yellow jewels. Which one was I hoping for? The Sorting Hat, of course! What did I think I would end up with? Either the Hufflepuff tie or the necklace that said Hufflepuff. Both were nice, but they seemed a little more standard than some of the other offerings. My heart pounded when I lifted that foil packet out of the wax.
This Charmed Aroma experience was definitely a positive one. Not only did the candle smell wonderful but the reveal was thrilling. It was so exciting to unwrap the Sorting Hat necklace. This piece is something that I plan to wear over and over again.
