The Blue Gecko Candle Company Tart Review


Filed under: Candles and Tarts, Reviews — Sarah @ 7:00 am

I’m having so much fun burning The Blue Gecko Candle Company’s tarts - and not just because 2 of the tarts I’m burning are named after characters in Stepheneie Meyer’s Twilight series of books, which I’d just finished reading before I got the tarts.

These tarts are strongly scented, and they don’t need to be burned to be smelled.

Even as I sit here with them on my desk I can smell the tarts, and there have been a couple of slightly warmer days when I was sitting downstairs, and the tarts would perfume the air even though the electric tart burner wasn’t on.

It was kind of nice - I got a great scent without having to pay for the electricity the electric tart burner would have used.

When I did burn the tart I could smell it upstairs and downstairs, and the wax popped out of the tart burner easily after I left in the freezer for a while.

Bellissima Bella

If you’re a fan of the wonderful Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer, this is what we think Bella must smell like to that handsome forbidden fiend of hers ;) Soft floral notes of lavender and freesia are dazzled with fresh cut Spruce, sprinkled with luscious sugar crystals and balanced out with just a hint of orange zest; ending with a sweet infusion of juicy summer berries, picked in the deep woods of Forks, Washington. Be warned, may attract Vampires.

Mmm. I was a little worried about the spruce in this one, but it didn’t bother me at all, of course neither did the vampires :-) which is probably a good thing.

Forever Alice

Inspired by the hit novel, “Twilight”, Forever Alice is named for the premonition having best friend of Bella. Alice is a teenage girl, bubbly sweet, but she also happens to be a vampire, immortally cold..she’s forever Alice. Our interpretation of Alice is filled with sweet, sugary cotton candy, innocent creamy vanilla and swirls of gooey caramel; ending with an icy tribute to her cold immortal destiny; minty fresh, frosty cold peppermint. May induce possible visions of the future, visions may or may not be reliable.

I was really excited about the Forever Alice fragrance because I love cotton candy! This is definitely a sweet fragrance, but it isn’t overwhelming.

My MIL thought that this would probably be too sweet for her from the description, but when she came over while I was burning it she liked it.

Summer Lovin’

All right GREASE fans, go ahead and sing it ;)! A delightfully romantic blend of delicate apple blossoms, star jasmine and juicy pomegranate, married with a shy hint of sweet and sassy citrus.

What can I say - it’s Grease!

I really enjoyed The Blue Gecko Candle Company’s Tarts, and I’m impressed with their scent throw, and how easy it is to take the used tart out when I want to switch scents.

I also love the book and movie related scents - it’s fun!

If you’ve tried The Blue Gecko Candle Company’s tarts leave me a comment and let me know what you think - or let me know which book character should have their own tart.
