Glade Large 6.8 oz Jar Candle - "Nutcracker Delight" is a new product that just came out and I purchased this yesterday at a Walmart. although it is not listed on their website yet.
The purchase price was $4.97+ tax ($1.30 per oz) , which sounds expense until you consider that that it contains as much as two of the small jar candles, which ar 3.4oz each run around $2.99 each.
Sometimes you can find other large jar candles on sale that will come up at less per ounce, but one thing that is consistent with Glade is their candles have a decent throw to scent a room and some less expensive candles smell great when you open the lid in the store, but when you get home and light it you don't smell much of anything.
It is also different in that it has 3 wicks instead of one, Sometimes with candles with one wick it will burn an areas around an inch or so around the wick and there will still be a lot of wax around the perimeter of the container. I tested out and below are pictures at different time intervals. If you burn the candle 2 1/2 hours it will burn even, but the packaging warned not to burn more than 4 hours at a time.
I am not sure what the bumps on the inside of the candle jar are for but have emailed the manufacturer and if I hear back will advise.
I think the the "Nutcracker Delight" scent is described on the packaging as:
"Swirls of roasted hazelnuts and sweet pralines. Dusted with notes of creamy vanilla bean upon dollops of almond butter."When I smelled it in the store thought it smelled a bit like Nutella, which is a sandwich spread made out of hazelnuts, but on burning more like toasted nuts with a hint of sweet vanilla buttercream; sort of like a moist nut cake topped with a buttery vanilla icing drizzled over the top. It has a decent throw so it will fill up a good sized room and make it smell like you have been baking. I really enjoy the scent and it is something I may purchase again.
Pros:
- Contains the same amount of product as two small Glade candles that cost $2.99; product cost $4.97.
- Pleasant nutty scent with a hint of vanilla buttercream
- Burns evenly if you burn for at least 2 1/2 hours.
- Consistent good throw on Glade candles.
Cons:
- Cost may be higher in comparison to larger jar candles.
- Although the outer paperboard wrapping is "green" it is not clear whether or not the jar is recyclable; just indicates to "Discard glass jar after use." (I have emailed the manufacturer on this as well.)
Currently, Glade has a printable coupon for 50 cents off all candle here if you want to try it for yourself.
***EDIT***9/5/18 - I received a call from Glade today in response to my emails regarding the bumps on the inside of the jar.
I was advised the bumps was for airflow channeling so it would burn evenly.
The jar is recyclable if you clean all of the wax out and be sure all residue is out before discarding.
