May 2019 Vivere VellaBox Review
Each 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!
1 of 3
Thistle and Finn 'Joseph's Dream' Candle, 8 oz - Retail Value $24.00 (currently sold out)
This is an odd scent. I couldn't decide if it was Christmas or fruit or what was going on. It is a blend of cranberry, pine, and citrus. I wish I liked it more but I really just couldn't get into it. My husband actually really liked it though, so I plan on burning them. This candle is 100% soy and burns very evenly and cleanly. It easily filled my living room with loads of scent.
This candle arrived in this month's Ignis and Lucerna subscription boxes as well.

Thistle and Finn 'Citrus Grove' Candle, 4 oz - Retail Value $16.00 (currently sold out)
This scent I liked much better! It has notes of tea, orange blossoms, and citrus. It smelled very much like a hot southern summer! I really wish this had been the larger candle because the scent is much more approachable and less confusing!
And each VellaBox also comes with a little treat or sample:

J R Watkins Lemon Cream Hand Cream Samples - Buy a full size 3.3 oz for $8.99
This cream is thick and delictely scented of lemons and sweets. I love fragrances like this in the summer.
These samples arrived in this month's Ignis and Lucerna subscription boxes as well.
Verdict: For $30 we received $40 worth of candle retail value. I really wasn't crazy about the main candle's 'Joseph's Dream' scent, but I did like the smaller candles fragrance. If you like the scents this is a much better deal for you than it was for me.
To Wrap Up:
Can you still get this box if you sign up today? You will likely receive the June box. From VellaBox:
Once you sign up for a monthly membership, all boxes will ship on the 5th of each month. For new subscribers we will be flexible to ensure as many customers as possible can receive the current months box. Therefore, if you sign up after the 5th, but before the 20th we will ship you that month’s box.
Value Breakdown: This box costs $30 + free shipping, which means that each of the candles in the box has an average cost of $15.
