The Bluecorn Naturals Clarity aromatherapy candle is a very nice candle for household use and a soothing scented experience. The packaging is rather plain and lackluster so I it wouldn't be my first choice for a gift, but I nevertheless highly recommend it.

The candle comes in a blue cardboard box with a rather inexplicable design around the edge. It' a drawn nature scene of the horizon including an owl in a pine tree. I guess it's supposed to convey a “natural theme”. The scent is labeled on the front with descriptive material on the back. This packaging is why I would not recommend it as a first choice for gifting. There are a lots of candles on this site with more upscale packaging although they cost a little more.

The candle itself is in a weighty glass tumbler with the old fashioned seeded effect of small bubbles in the glass. The candle is much more impressive than the box. It is poured close to the top of the tumbler and thus has a lot of wax to provide a long burn time. The wax is environmentally friendly beeswax with a lead free wick. The color is a dark off-white and probably doesn't have any color additives, but I'm basing that on my opinion, not anything that it says on the box. It burns very cleanly. I've used mine for about five hours so far and it looks like it will keep going for some time. The information on the website estimates 20 hours of use which is incredible for the 3oz size of the tumbler.

There are six different fragrances available. I chose “Clarity” which is described as eucalyptus. orange, and lavender made from pure essential oils. I think the lavender is the dominant note with hints of eucalyptus. I don't smell the orange at all. The scent is not too heavy, but I wouldn't classify it as a faintly scented candle.

My boyfriend thought the smell was a little too strong for a romantic evening in the bedroom for his tastes. But I've found it perfect for burning in the bathroom when I'm relaxing in the tub.

This candle lasted a long time. You definitely get your value out of it for burn time. The scent remained strong until the end. I love the glass votive and cleaned it out to hold hair clips in the bathroom.
