[Review] Frostbeard Studio – The Wall

Okay, sticking with the seasonal candles from Frostbeard Studio, today is “The Wall.” Honestly, I’m not really sure which wall it’s referring to. I’m thinking, maybe from “Game of Thrones,” but there are so many walls in fantasy literature, I don’t even know (oh, look at me channeling Jon Snow here…). The other reviews on the site echo my own thoughts though, so there’s that.

I bought this candle because I wanted to give it a try. The scents are listed as “cedarwood and winter mint” so I was a bit torn on whether or not I should even bother. I mean, I love cedar, but I do not like mint. At all. This candle isn’t terrible though. It’s kinda weird, actually. One minute, I’ll smell the mint – but softened enough that it’s actually tolerable – the next, the scent is all cedar, and I’m in love. Then I swear it shifts to Pinesol and I start hardcore side-eyeing the candle.
All in all, the candle isn’t bad. Not one that I’ll be buying again, but not terrible. I will say this though: I almost thought I was going to have the same problem that I did with “Through The Wardrobe.” The first half hour I had the candle burning, I didn’t smell anything. Around the 45 minute mark though, it started kicking in. It’s not as strong as the “Oxford Library” candle, but it’s not exactly weak, either.
