Marks & Spencer has introduced a new scented candle inspired by its popular canned mojito cocktail. Housed in a green glass jar that closely resembles the design of the M&S canned mojito (priced at £2.50 on Ocado.com), this candle delivers a fresh, aromatic, zesty, and slightly sweet fragrance that genuinely evokes the classic cocktail. However, its throw and potency are somewhat underwhelming.
Scent Profile
The supermarket's tinned mojito contains lime juice, mint flavourings, and white rum. In the candle, the mint and lime notes come through, albeit subtly. There is even a depth and warmth from a faint hint of rum, though this may simply stem from the classic association of lime and mint with rum, given how frequently these ingredients are paired together. For those seeking an uplifting yet subtle scent, this candle is a suitable choice.
Burn Time and Value
Like all candles in the range, M&S states that this candle offers a burn time of up to 100 hours. While this claim has not been tested extensively, it appears plausible given the candle's large size and long wick. Priced at £10 from Marksandspencer.com, it offers a reasonable option for those who appreciate delicate fragrances. Prices may vary.
