So, I placed an order for myself and a birthday gift for my sister. After receiving it, I’ll let you find out if these surprise candles truly were up to my expectations!

Which fragrances can you find?

Lighting a scented candle adds a lot to the atmosphere of your home. It makes it more warm and inviting, and can evoke good memories for both you and your guests.

My Jolie Candle offers you sophisticated and unique fragrances, crafted by expert perfumers. Instead of classic scents like Vanilla or Red Fruits, you can discover, for example:

  • The Beaches of Tahiti (Neroli, Tiare, Vanilla): a candle that reminds you of the ocean and the paradise islands of the Pacific,
  • The Gardens of Kyoto (Sakura, Peony, Musk): this one evokes the traditions of Japan and the legendary cherry blossom season,
  • The Hotel Linens (White Flowers, Jasmine, Cotton): brings a fresh scent to your home with the softness of spring flowers,
  • The Wood of the East (Amber, Lily, Patchouli): a fragrance with warm notes, full of character, for those who enjoy scents like incense,
  • The Tea Blossom (Freesia, Jasmine, Musk): a delicately scented candle, for those who appreciate subtle and fine fragrances,
  • The Italian Holidays (Bergamot, Lemon, Sandalwood): this candle brings back memories of holidays spent in the south!,
  • The Blooming Flowers (Rose, Magnolia, Hyacinth): looking for a candle with floral notes? This is the one to choose!,
  • The Campfire (Leather, Sandalwood, Vanilla): this warm candle, one of my favourites, evokes evenings by the fire. It's my go-to for autumn!,
  • The Marine Air (Sage, Sea Salt Accord, Lemon): to feel like you’re by the sea, but in your living room!,
  • The Hemp Smoke (Hemp, Coconut, Cedar): a blend with subtle notes that creates a zen atmosphere in your home.

What is the lifespan of candles?

Most of the time, you can enjoy your My Jolie Candle for about 50 hours. In comparison, a budget candle of the same size rarely lasts more than 4 hours!

👉 My Jolie Candle also offers a range of three-wick candles that last for 100 hours. If you burn it for three hours a day, you’ll be sorted for over a month! 😉

How to personalise your My Jolie Candle?

The website features a section titled "Personalised Candle" in the main menu. This allows you to select the fragrance, the type of jewellery inside, and write a message on the candle.

🧴 The 4 available fragrances are:

  • The Hotel Sheets,
  • The Beaches of Tahiti,
  • The Flower of Tea,
  • The Gardens of Kyoto.

💍 For jewellery, you have the following options:

  • A candle with a gold bracelet (that is, in a golden colour or actually gold if you're lucky),
  • A candle with a silver bracelet (in a silver colour or solid silver depending on your luck),
  • No jewellery, if you prefer this option.

💬 The message can be one or two lines long. Each line can only contain ten characters, including spaces. For example, you could include a name, a love declaration, a birthday message, a significant date...

➕ You can finally complete your gift with:

  • XXL matches for R 4.90,
  • a golden cover to protect your candle for R 9.90.

What You Need to Know About Your My Jolie Candle Jewellery 💍

Once your My Jolie Candle has melted, you'll have the joy of discovering a beautiful piece of gold or silver jewelry.

You have the option to choose your jewellery by visiting the "Candle with Jewellery" menu and scrolling down to the bottom of the page to find the special editions.

However, the main idea is really to discover a surprise piece of jewellery!

Where can you find the My Jolie Candle jewellery?

The gem is located inside the candle. It is wrapped in foil to protect it from the wax.

If ever the wax has seeped into the packaging, simply boil some water and then dip the jewellery into it. After that, use tweezers or a fork to remove it. If the wax still hasn’t come off, you can remove the remaining bits by scrubbing with an old toothbrush that you've applied some toothpaste to.

Are My Jolie Candle jewellery pieces adjustable?

Yes, the bracelets can range from 14.5 to 19 cm. The rings are adjustable.

For necklaces, there are three lengths available:

  • short (33 - 44 cm),
  • medium (46 - 52 cm),
  • long (56 - 62 cm).

What material are My Jolie Candle jewellery made from?

Silver jewellery will be made from either sterling silver 925 or rhodium-plated metal. The latter refers to a coating that protects the jewellery and ensures it lasts a long time.

The gold jewellery is made of gold plating.

What is the value of My Jolie Candle jewellery?

These are beautiful quality costume jewellery pieces. While they don't have the value of gold jewellery, they are made from quality metals, so they can be worn for a long time.

The brand offers a 6-month warranty on each piece of jewellery.

How to Determine the Value of Your My Jolie Candle Jewellery?

My Jolie Candle has chosen to offer quality jewellery that all have roughly the same value. Previously, it was possible to find a gold piece in their candles, but My Jolie Candle decided to move away from this concept in order to provide their customers with jewellery of better overall quality.

          My Verdict on My Jolie Candle⭐⭐⭐⭐

          After hearing about it on social media, I tried My Jolie Candle for the first time around a month ago. I placed an order for a personalised candle as a gift for my sister's birthday, and I treated myself to a surprise candle as well.

          Was it easy to order from the My Jolie Candle website?

          I found the ordering experience to be very pleasant. The website is attractive, the photos are appealing, and it is easy to find a product that interests us.

          My Jolie Candle jewellery

          The customisation option is really easy to use. I think it’s great that you can really choose a piece of jewellery, a fragrance, and a message that suits the person: it makes for a truly special gift that brings joy!

          I paid via PayPal, but it was also possible to pay using a credit card. For orders over R1,200, you can opt for a three-part payment, which could be useful for a Christmas order, for example.

          How was the delivery of My Jolie Candle?

          The candles were shipped quickly and arrived right on time. Unfortunately, the tracking number provided to me didn't work until the day of delivery... It's a pity, but I'm unsure if the issue was with Colissimo or My Jolie Candle.

          When I received my parcel, I was a bit nervous as it was slightly damaged. However, the candles inside were well packaged and everything was in perfect condition!

          Is the candle really any good?

          For me, the quality of the candles is truly the standout feature of My Jolie Candle. The scents are unique and very pleasant. They last for ages.

          The wick is of high quality and lights up easily throughout the entire use of the candle. The wax offers a very long lifespan: it's advertised to last for 50 hours, but personally, I feel like my candle has lasted even longer. I've been lighting it for several hours a day in the evenings for a month!

          My sister, to whom I gave another candle, attests to the same quality. I particularly recommend the Les Jardins de Kyoto scent, which is truly pleasant, floral, and soft. I gave the "Hotel Sheets" scent, which really creates a sense of cleanliness in the home.

          Is the surprise jewellery worth it?

          The surprise jewellery, which is what makes these candles so unique, is really cool and on-trend. They are high-quality and durable. However, I advise against using them by the pool or at the beach.

          Personally, I have a lovely gold bracelet with coloured resin beads that resembles what the Gigi Clozeau brand creates. I'm absolutely delighted with it and wear it often.

          If your jewellery breaks, rest assured it comes with a six-month warranty. Just get in touch with My Jolie Candle: it's really convenient and reassuring! 😊

          To summarise, I'm really happy with my experience with My Jolie Candle. The candles have a lovely fragrance and are truly beautiful. They are dispatched quickly and bring a lot of joy!

          How long until I receive my My Jolie Candle jewellery?

          The candle lasts for about fifty hours, and the jewellery is hidden inside, usually towards the bottom. So, you'll need to let it burn for a while before you can get to the jewellery.

          To retrieve it, I recommend using tongs or disposable wooden chopsticks just after you've extinguished the flame. This will prevent you from burning yourself!

          How to determine the value of the My Jolie Candle jewellery?

          My Jolie Candle contains quality jewellery valued at an average of several dozen rand. These are lovely fashion jewellery pieces that are well-made and designed to last.
