Orange Amère | Grote geurkaars

The bigarade really comes through — that sharp, almost tangy bitterness hits first and then softens into something sweeter as it burns. I lit it in my living room and could still catch whiffs of it hours later, even after blowing it out. The throw is impressive for a single wick.

The bitter orange scent is exactly what I hoped for—bright and sharp, not overly sweet, and it fills my living room within twenty minutes of lighting. Burns evenly too, which I appreciate for the price.

Lit the bigarade candle last night and the whole living room smelled like a sunny citrus grove within twenty minutes—sharp, zesty, and just bitter enough to be interesting. The burn is even, no tunneling after three hours, and I can already tell this will be a staple for cozy evenings.
