A friend purchased this lovely little candle for me as a gift. It's not something I would have thought to purchase on my own, but now that I've tried it I love it. I got the dark vanilla scent, as vanilla is one of mine and my husbands favorite scents.

The Afterglow candle has several very pleasing scents and is very attractive but discreet. The candle is in a nice, little, ceramic holder, but one corner is made specifically to pour the wax once it warms up. The casual observer would not know that this is a massage candle. It comes in attractive packaging with very easy to read instructions on how to use and care for the candle.

The wax as a massage oil works wonderfully and absorbs nicely when rubbed into the skin. The low melting point lets it liquefy and warm up quickly. The warm wax on skin feels great and the scent is delicious. The wax does not at all get too hot, but you do have to be careful because of the open flame. The combination of the scent and the sensation of the warm wax is very arousing. I don't think it's supposed to be edible, but my husband said there wasn't a bad taste after he has used it on me and then kissed or licked me. When not using the candle, the fragrance fills up the room without being overpowering and reminds me of the special encounters my husband and I have had.

Clean up after using the candle is not a problem. I've had no problems with it staining and not coming out of bed linen or clothing.

I can't find anything bad to say about this product other than it being a little pricey. That is why I'm only giving it 4 stars.

The Afterglow candle is a wonderful little treat for you and your partner and is also great as a gift.
