Guide Review - Febreze Odor Eliminating Candle

My husband is a great cook, and I know how lucky I am. But, it's hard to feel lucky when a lingering smell of cumin fills the entire downstairs. While I love the taste that cumin adds to our food, I don't like smelling it for days on end after the meal is done.

So homemade taco night was the perfect chance to put the Febreze Candle to work.

After reading the instructions, and trimming the wick to 1/4 of an inch, I was ready to light the candle, and let my husband cook.

45 minutes later and dinner was done, and the only place that had a hint of cumin was the kitchen. I continued to let the candle burn for another 45 minutes as we finished dinner. I was impressed by how cumin-free the downstairs was. I was more impressed by the fact that I could smell a slight hint of apple and spice from the candle, but it in no way overwhelmed my home. This is important when you have family and friends who can be sensitive to smells.

My only problem with the candle came when I blew it out after 1 1/2 hours. The candle continued to smoke for a few minutes sending a very smoky smell back into the air. It faded away after a few minutes, but I was disappointed that I had a slightly smoky smell in my kitchen that even my kids noticed.

Overall, though, the Febreze Candle is a great buy for the money. It sits discretely in any location. It eliminates odors with a special core that traps smells. It burns for 30 hours without filling your home with overwhelming scent, and there are 6 scents to choose from. I like it, and my husband likes that he can cook with real spices in our kitchen.

For the life of me, I don't know why I keep giving Febreze another chance! I have not found 1 scent that comes close to not being overwhelmingly cloying and sickening. I love to scent my home with candles and plug-in room fresheners, but no matter how many times I try to find a scent from Febreze that will make my home smell well, ""homey,"" I regret it. Glade, Yankee Candle & Bath & Body Works have it all over Febreze with wonderful scents that draw you in without making you nauseated. Sorry, but I've wasted my money for the last time. My only regret is how many products we have to deal with that now are ""infused with Febreze"" UGGH!
