Ecoya Candles and Diffuser Haul/Review

Hello everybody!

Today I thought I would give a review on the brand Ecoya and their candles and diffuser. About a month ago I went a little crazy and purchased these three products from Ecoya. I purchased them in different places because they were on special. Although they are still a bit of a stretch even when they are on special I thought that I would give a review on them to anyone who is struggling to justify the price to buy these items.  I just want to say that everyone will have a different opinion on what is a higher cost and what is a lower cost but for me personally these were expensive. Because I did purchase these myself and and they were expensive I only brought the Vanilla Bean scent as that is my favourite but if you do want to smell the rest of the range ill put down some websites where these are sold just incase the store is near where you live so you can go see Ecoya's range for yourself (:

Heres some information that makes Ecoya different from other brands..
~ "Our candles are derived from sustainable soybean and palm oil plantations. We do not use paraffin wax hence our candles do not contain the harmful chemicals associated with the use of paraffin. ECOYA soy candles burn cooler and last a third longer than a comparable paraffin wax candle.

   Our hypoallergenic body care products are derived from botanical bases such as almond and macadamia oil. Free from parabens, propylene glycol, silicone and artificial colours, they are designed to be safe on all skin types." - Ecoya

The Vanilla Bean products are contained with "a velvety and rich, full-bodied vanilla bean extract...deliciously wrapped in creamy tones of butterscotch to create a rich, indulgent and luxurious fragrance" - Ecoya

Here are the three items that I purchased (sorry if photo bad quality)

 ~ Ecoya Everyday Tin Candle - Vanilla Bean 

This everyday candle can light up to 30 hours and is 170 grams. On the Ecoya website it says "[Ecoya Everyday Tin Candles are] Natural soy wax candles, encased in tin for everyday use."You can also purchase this candle in: Lemongrass & Ginger, Lotus Flower, French Pear, Wild Frangipani and Sweet Pea & Jasmine. This was my first purchase. It literally took me about two months to decide whether to buy these products, until i found this one, 20% off at Red current the original price is $34.95 NZD but i purchased this for around $28.00. Even still I was a little nervous but afterwards i was so happy! For about four weeks i would have it on my bedside cabinet then move it to my desk when i went to study. The smell is amazing! It made my room smell like vanilla. The smell isn't strong when you put it under your nose but it still managers to linger around your room - absolute heaven. I haven't lit the candle yet, and I don't think anytime soon I will. The candle does come with a lid, although i decided not to put that in the photo. I never keep the lid on the candle. Why would you want to cover up such an amazing scent? The lids although are handy to shift round if you are moving or going on holiday. Overall a candle that smells incredibly good that hasn't lost its scent and hopefully doesn't, is worth $28 in my eyes (:

~Ecoya Metro Jar Candle Vanilla Bean 

As described on the Ecoya website it says "[The Vanilla Bean candle is]Pure, natural soy wax hand poured into a contemporary sand, soda ash and lime glass jar."The size is 260g and burning time 50 hours (according to the Ecoya website). You can also purchase this candle in Lemongrass & Ginger, Lotus Flower, French Pear, Wild Frangipani and Sweet Pea & Jasmine. All amazing scents as well. This was my second purchase, this came about two months after my first purchase because no store had any sales on. Until when I went home for mid-term break the one time i decide to go to town there was a one day sale on!! Fate? maybe. I brought this from H&J Smith and it was 15% off the original price $49.95 NZD, so I was like yeeeesss!!!! The smell justified the price once again. I now have one on either sides of my room. The two candles just as elegant as another, the perfect vanilla bean scent. The Candle does look a little roughed up, I do apologise.. from moving it round the room and smelling it most the time I have knocked it about a bit. I would highly recommend this candle, you don't even need to light it. If you are a big vanilla bean scent lover, you will love this candle, just like i do.  

~ Ecoya Rooms Diffusers Vanilla Bean  

This diffuser as I have heard it is to last for over a year, and on the Ecoya website it says "Designed for long lasting, passive scenting of small to medium architectural spaces." The size is 200 ml so is a descent size and I'm taking note of how long it will last. This diffuser also comes in Lemongrass & Ginger, Lotus Flower, French Pear, Wild Frangipani, Sweet Pea & Jasmine. Which I have all smelt and are just as amazing as the Vanilla Bean.  Now, this was my last purchase, and I had to think a few minutes about this one. (Literally starring at it for like 10 minutes) Again I brought this at H&J Smith and it was 15% off $69.95 NZD. I hope you realise now why i was standing starring at this object for 10 minutes. Even with the discount I was still a little nervous about purchasing. Mainly part of the reason I still haven't used it..Next year when I flatting I will use this, (lets face it, student flats don't always smell like flowers and yummy perfume). Because of the price I'm saving it for when i will really need it, but I'm sure if it smells anything like the candles it'll be just perfect.
