I really enjoy using scents as therapy and candles are a great way to bring calm after a long day in the salon. I love to explore different scent profiles and thought the Vacation Home Resort Candle Set was a perfect set to do just that. I had very high hopes when I opened this package as the scents were extremely fragrant. These did begin to weaken as soon as they were out of the box and I could not notice any fragrance if these were not lit or my nose propped against them. I believe this set is best for being within close proximity and smaller spaces, as it just does not have the throw some candles have. Scent wise, Pool Boy was by far my favorite of the set. Coconut scents are hit or miss to me, but this one smells like a high quality sunscreen that you spent a little extra money on just for the scent. It's a creamy coconut with no sharpness, and gives you that relaxing by the pool vibes. Suite is described as a white linen and freshly washed floors, which I find accurate as it does smell like linen, mixed with a bit of cleanser, but I also pick up a slightly masculine undertones. This smells as if the room was cleaned that day, but a trail of cologne remained from the person who provided the cleaning. Lobby has a generic floral smell and was the least pleasing of the set. I was hoping for a true, high end hotel vibe, but this is more walking up to the front door and stopping next to the potted flowers. It doesn't give luxury or hotel, lacks depth and could easily be found in a candle aisle of many stores. If I were too purchase individually, I would definitely get Pool Boy, consider Suite and pass on Lobby. I do believe the set looks great on display and their largely printed names are a conversation starter to those who see them. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

Let me start by saying that I LOVE THIS BRAND!!!! Evert time I try one of their products it has something about it that makes me smile and feel almost like a kid in the 80's again. This candle et is no exception. I had some friends over when I unboxed them and it quickly turned into a crowd pleaser and a talking point. I had everyone guess the scent and it was so much fun telling them the witty and unique names each candle had. This would even be fun buying as a set and giving single candles out as funny hostess gifts. The scents are another story in themselves. Each one is nothing like any other candle scents I've had before. They are clean and happy. The pool boy candle smells just like the pool area on a fun vacation to Cabo! The lobby candle smells clean and expensive. The suite candle is soft and understated and not overpowering at all! I love them all!! **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

As an esthetician for over a decade, I often utilize candles as a way to create ambiance in home and professional settings. The main components that I look for when using candles is a great throw of fragrance that isn't headache inducing, pretty packaging, and a clean burn. Vacation Inc's Home Resort Candle Set encapsulates my requirements and some. All three of the aromas successfully capture what it's like when you embark on a relaxing vacation at a resort. Lobby immediately bright me back to a vacation I once took to the Bahamas and all of the delicate floral arrangements that were at the front desk. It's inviting and tropical. Suite (which is my favorite out of the lineup) is comforting because it smells like a freshly cleaned room. There's also a hint of fresh laundry which always makes me smile. Poolboy reminds me of the iconic scent of Vacation Inc's sunscreen. It invokes consuming a delicious cocktail while watching the sun set. I really like the containers that these candles are housed in as well. It's unconventional from the usual candles that you see, and could easily be recycled as highball glasses in the future. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

I was so very excited to try this set! I am an avid candle buyer and I burn candles almost every day in my house. I have been seeing this brand a lot and thought it must be high end and super luxe. Looking at the packaging, The product has a very chill, vacationy vibe as the name implies. I wouldn't say that it gives luxury right off but, hey everyones idea of luxury is different. On to the actual candles... The glass containers are long cylinders as you can see and I think they are quite nice, again, not luxury but very nice and of quality for sure! I could smell the candles through the package and I thought I was in for a big treat!Suite- Was my favorite upon smelling them in the box. It's so vibrant and luxurious smelling. It's described as crisp, white linen. But I would go further and say it smells like the most luxurious, rich, vibrant clean scent ive smelled in a while. Think Tide but, in a Neiman Marcus, Boca Raton, Plan beach island type way! lolLobby- Again, clean! But described as Fresh. cut flowers, and air conditioned breeze and I agree. Pool Boy- is the lightest of the 3 scents and is more subdued and soft. Describes as Coconut Sunscreen. I think it smells like expensive hair shampoo or conditioner. So...The reason I'm rating these so poorly is that when I'm burning them, even after an hour of them being lit, I can't smell anything! The only one that gives off a slight scent is Pool boy surprisingly! And I have to be right up on it. This was such a disappointment bc they smell magnificent in the box! They pack a nice fragrance punch but, they don't deliver unfortunately :( **This review was collected as part of a promotion.

I have been a Licensed Esthetician for over four years and loved hearing about this new product. I am in my early 60s and I am always looking for products and cosmetics to improve my personal appearance as well as my skin health. I take pride in skin as it is my clients first impression before their facial. Vacation Home Resort is truly a luxury set of candles, they are beautifully packaged in colored glass containers and elegant scents!  I not only love to burn candles for ambiance but I also love aromatherapy.  I burn a candle in my entry way for a relaxing effect when my clients first arrive.  The Pool Boy scent reminds me of a Caribbean vacation with the soft coconut undertones, not too strong.  This one is a relaxing scent.  The Lobby is a very unique luxury, sexy scent with undertones of fresh cut flowers, I smell the rose scent, not too strong and very relaxing, another great one to use in the entry way for a day time facial.  The Suite is a unique version of crisp linen and I smell a little coconut, also not too strong, reminds me of a 5 star resort experience.  Of all the candles it is hard to pick a favorite, they all add a beautiful addition to my home and esthetics room. **This review was collected as part of a promotion.
