This is one of the most unique candles I have purchased, it takes me back to my days at university when I got a job at at an art studio near my apartment and spent the summer hanging out with my cool art-major coworkers - it's exactly like an art studio on a warm day, with the windows flung open to let in the fresh air.

I just got this in the mail yesterday. I've read Goest candles tunnel a lot, and I haven't burned it enough for that, so that remains to be determined. I'm not as good with extended descriptions of what the smell actually smells like as some of the reviews I've read but all I can say for now is, it's absolutely beautiful. There's real "depth" in this that makes it feel just really magical. Why is this quality so hard to find? It makes me wonder if other candle houses are just not trying hard enough, or maybe it's expensive to render that kind of "depth" in candles. By "depth", I mean, the description doesn't just "pass muster", in the sense that when you smell, you're like "Plaster? I can see that, I guess". It's the opposite. I don't just smell the plaster vividly, but it has a "beautiful" edge that is surprising and delightful. Definitely immediately stands out in my collection. I got a sample of Citadelle in my order and it's the best "rain" smell I've ever smelled, and is definitely "beautiful" like Pablo (I'll likely order at least a mini with my next one) but Pablo is more to my taste and exactly what I hoped it would be.

This candle tunneled on me a little bit, so I had to hit it with a hairdryer intermittently. HOWEVER this candle could not have a wick at all and I would give it 5 stars all day as long as I could smell it, because it is one of the most heart-stoppingly poetic things I have smelled in my life. I have no idea what is in this but just...wow.
A vignette about how special it is: my boyfriend makes fun of my candle addiction fairly consistently because I have so many that I have them organized on a bookcase like books by type/genre (I put lids on all of them, and for the ones without lids, I balance coasters on top of them so all the smells don't clash, which is a hot tip). I usually have him smell new jars as they come in, I get something usually once or twice and month. Mostly he's just like "that's pretty nice". Folks, after Pablo arrived, for the first time ever, he was like "whoa, wait" as I finished waving it in front of his nose on the couch. He actually asked me to hand it over so he could look at it/smell it some more; and he has literally told houseguests who have remarked on the giant insane candle shelf in the corner to come over to it and specifically "smell this one". This is how much it really grabs you.
(This may be one of the longest reviews I've ever written. But you have to smell this.)

I don't think there's been one single person in the last 20 people to come into my house who hasn't said "omg, what is that smell??" One of my friends the other night sitting by this candle kept picking it up to huff it over and over. It is simply one of the most luxe, weirdly deliciously amazing smells on this planet. Cold throw is really good.

This candle smells better than any other. It's fresh, interesting, lively, and calm all at once—I light it often to set the tone for creative work, but love to find the scent lingering later when I'm kicking off to relax. I would describe the major scent as bright, but not in a directly citrusy way (not fruity), and love the description of "oil pallete, fresh plaster"—that's exactly right. Highly recommended, for yourself and as a gift!

Legitimately one of the most unusual, flooring encounters I've ever had with a scented item. It just has this "reality" feeling combined with totally beautiful smell. By reality feeling, it smells like it actually has space in it, sort of like (nerd alert, Potter reference) if I was looking into a Pensieve, or some kind of looking glass where I can stick my head through and there's another world on the other side. Cold throw is perfect for light ambient scent in the area, hot throw is if I feel the need to "clean the room". Honestly I don't even light it that often. The price? Eh, it isn't the kind of money I'd throw away, but the big candle is twice the size of lots of other candles I'd buy, and ten times as special.

I'm super particular with all scents and stumbled on this candle over the winter time. I'm obsessed! It's fresh, calming yet uplifting and sultry. Might be the only scent I purchase for a good while.

I really love this candle. I received scent samples as a gift (which i really appreciated having the samples to figure out a scent) I was able to pick the perfect scent for me and have truly appreciated this candle. Its not overpowering but strong enough to fill the air with its wonderful smell even after its been blown out. I will definitely get more of these!

This scent is truly amazing. It makes me feel incredibly relaxed and focused. I only wish the candle was larger so that I could perhaps enjoy the scent for longer. If there was a larger size available, I would go for it, no question.

I got this candle as a Christmas present and at first I was skeptical. Notes of plaster? Sure. But I quickly became addicted to burning this candle after a long day of work or before settling in with a book on the weekend. I don’t have words to describe how it actually smells, but it makes me feel like I’m living my most opulent life ever, maybe in an Upper West Side apartment where the elevator opens up directly to my flat. Am very sad to report that it has just been burned for the last time, but hopefully the smell will linger in the lovely little ceramic pot.
