TLDR Review: Smoke Odor Exterminator Candle, Sugar Skull
Pros
- •Effectively masks strong odors like weed, tobacco, and household smells, even in poorly ventilated spaces.
- •Special enzyme formulation genuinely removes smoke and pet odors rather than just covering them up.
- •Burns slowly with an approximate 7our burn time, offering good longevity for a 13 oz candle.
- •Has a pleasant men's cologne scent with notes of lavender, sandalwood, and spice that is strong enough to cover large rooms and heavy odors.
- •Provides a fresh, calming aroma that is not overly perfumed or synthetic.
- •Wick performs well and burns evenly, contributing to a consistent scent release.
- •Comes in a clean, attractively designed jar that fits well in various home settings.
- •Works better than cheaper odoliminating candles despite a slightly shorter burn time compared to some alternatives.
Cons
- •Scent strength can be inconsistent; some batches or users report little to no noticeable fragrance, which can feel pointless for an odor eliminator candle.
- •The burn time, though decent, is shorter than some users would like considering the price.
- •The lemony/men’s cologne scent may be overpowering or not to everyone’s taste, especially for those sensitive to stronger fragrances.
- •The candle is only available in a 13 oz size, which some users feel is smaller than their preferred quantity for odor control purposes.
- •Some users have noticed variation in scent quality between different fragrances of the same brand, possibly affecting expectations for this scent as well.
Bottom Line
The Smoke Odor Exterminator Sugar Skull Candle is a solid choice if you want a candle that goes beyond just masking odors to actually neutralize smoke and pet smells with a distinct men’s cologne-style fragrance. It offers a respectable burn time and a clean, calming scent that's stronger than many cheaper options. However, expect some variability in scent strength depending on the batch—there are reports of candles arriving with little to no noticeable aroma. If you’re sensitive to stronger scents or want a variety of sizes, you might want to look around, but as an odor eliminator, this candle does the job well. For an alternative with similarly strong odor neutralization but different scent profiles, keep an eye out for other offerings from Smoke Odor Exterminator or similar enzyme-based candles in larger sizes.
