October 2018 Vivere VellaBox Review
The candle arrives in a reusable drawstring bag.
And each box comes with an info card detailing the candles featured that month:
Now, on to the candles!
Untamed Supply Cinder – Retail Value $10
This 100% soy wax candle has a burn time of 20 hours. The scent has notes of hickory, smoke, clove, and fir. When I lit this in my home it immediately reminded me of being in the woods at a campfire. At first, I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I think it sets a cozy mood and is great for fall and winter.
Untamed Supply Hay Ride - Retail Value $18.00
This 100% soy wax candle has a burn time of 45 hours. The scent has notes of Apple, Spiced Orange, and Cinnamon, which definitely helps set the mood for fall! It's great that this company makes nature-inspired scents, is ingredient-conscious, and donates 3% of their profits to The National Parks. This probably isn't a scent that I'd pick up at the store, but I'm glad it was in this box as I ended up liking it.
And each VellaBox also comes with a little treat like a food item:
Ghirardelli Squares & Minis
Verdict: This month's VellaBox has a value of about $30. I think the pricing is fair, and I like that the $30 option of this subscription gives you two different candle scents from a line so you can really get a sense of the company/brand. I also like that this month was fall-themed and that it helped me explored scents I never would have thought to buy on my own!
