Village Candle Rain Large Glass Apothecary Jar Scented Candle, 21.25 oz, Blue

Amazon search brought this up as a petrichor scented candle. Although it smells nothing like petrichor, it is a very pleasant scent. Clean, fresh, and crisp is how I would describe it. I love it and will definitely buy again. The double wick burns nice and even.

Doesn't get all that black suet like yankee candle. Scented well. Only jar candle I buy.

I would give this candle 10 stars if I could. Scent is amazing and lingers even after you put it out. No smoke residue at all. I have been a Yankee Candle “snob” for over 30 years. I will be ordering Village Candles from now on!!

I’ve never purchased this brand and honestly thought it was a new scent from my other typical choice. The candle smells amazing how I would imagine it would — rain, fresh and floral spring rain. My only complaint is the two wicks because it’s unnecessary in a jar this size and ultimately burned 2x faster than my other brand that has the exact same jar. Perhaps if the price were reduced or the wick situation were resolved I’d buy again but it’s not worth it to get a candle that’s gone so fast when my others last longer.

I was a Yankee candle girl for many years but once you try Village Candle you won’t go back. Large jar candles have 2 wicks which will ensure candle burns evenly( not the case with Yankee Candles). No soot on candle ( not the case with Yankee candles). I have yet to find a scent that does not have a good throw (not the case with Yankee candles). These candles do burn for quite awhile-you get that with Yankee but because of double wick on large jar candles with Village you don’t have to pock and prod to get it to burn evenly. Enough said about differences but the Rain scent is slightly floral - reminds me of childhood honeysuckles after a rain. It is a light scent with a good throw.

Honestly cant say anything bad about this candle, it smells amazing and i have been using it on and off for a few months and still have a little less than half left.

It does not smell like rain. It smells like laundry detergent. Not my speed. But out of all the Village Candles I have, this has the longest linger time... linger...loiter...? My room still smelled like laundry detergent 48 hours after I burnt it. Impressive ... but it smelled like Laundry detergent...Now if they could get Fresh Lemon or Slopeside to do that...

First off, Village Candle is NOT a knock-off or dupe of Yankee Candle. Some of the reviews around here for different Village Candle scents give the impression that Village is a cheap version of Yankee. At first glance it's easy to think so with the identical jars and fonts. I even thought this was the case initially, but after a quick search I found that Village is anything but an impostor. Maybe now that Yankee is in the process of overhauling their labels, Village will have a well-deserved chance to stand apart.On to the candle itself: Rain has an extremely strong throw, to the point of being overwhelming in a small room. I had to move it from an 8x8 sunroom to a large great room because it was just too much for the senses; I could almost taste it. Even in the larger room with high vaulted ceilings the candle took command, but thankfully was nowhere near as cloying. The bergamot and lily are very pronounced, and there's a subtle ozonic undertone. Rain is a dead ringer for Kringle Candle's scent, Rainy Day, for those familiar. It's more of a floral rain-type scent rather than herbal or earthy (if you've tried lots of rain-type candles as I have, you probably know what I'm getting at here). Also, the candle burns really well and I noticed very minimal mushrooming from the wicks. Overall, I'm pleasantly surprised at just how good this candle is. I ordered a second Village scent, Summer Breeze, which is just as strong as Rain.If, like me, you're a candle junkie who favors fresh and/or floral scents, you've got to try this. I've noticed lately that Yankee has lost some of its "oomph" in the throw department, so I'm happy to have found another candle maker that actually delivers. And that they're several bucks cheaper is a win in itself.
