A non-curated vanitas of my recent HomeGoods find burning in my office at work.

If you compare this photo to my other reviews you’ll see that the candle situation in my office at work is a hot mess of candle detritus and miscellaneous candle accessories 😂

But I wanted to share this recent HomeGoods find: a Thucassi candle.

I had never heard of the brand but a google search revealed candles that retail for $100+, so I snagged two: a boxed 3-wick in the fragrance “Ocean Mist” with a decent blue glass vessel for $19.99.

I’ve burned it for about 4 hours today in my office and it’s very nice! Would I pay $160 retail? No. But the performance is strong, it burns cleanly because of the 3-wicks, and it’s a very nice, non-offensive, fresh beachy scent with a slight incense-y myrrh note. For the price, I’d say it’s a solid 8-9/10 and I would definitely repurchase. All of the girls at work who are sensitive to fragrances (the ones who complain about every luxury candle I’ve ever burned then turn around and gift me a BBW Gingham candle because “it’s their FAVORITE!!!”) have said that it doesn’t upset their gentle fragrance sensibilities.
