Jimmyjane Afterglow Massage Candle Bourbon 128g

This candle has such an alluring and unique smell that I just had to get my hands on one. It is presented in a very beautiful but simple box and I really would suggest this as an ideal romantic gift - especially along with the matching contour stone they sell.

Now before we get down to massage business the candle is body safe, paraben-free and is not tested on animals. Sounds great, right? Why yes, it is! The container is made of porcelain as well which really does give it that luxury feel. It is more expensive than other massage candles but I think with all of these features it is worth the price.

I personally found the wax to be quite unique in consistency and it is not your typical candle wax. I think the shea butter, in particular, does make the candle ‘greasy’ if you will, but in a good way. Once lit the candles aroma is absolutely amazing. I don’t even like bourbon, but the smell is to die for.

You have a little spout on the edge of the candle to pour the wax out of which really helps pinpoint where you are wanting to put it. A lot better than your typical little spoon. Once massaged into the skin it smells wonderful and leaves the skin very silky at a very nice warm temperature.

The only downside I can comment on is after use my wick did burn a little too much I think and has turned some of the wax black, which is not the most attractive. It also put me off wanting to use the candle again, unfortunately, but I am not entirely sure if this was my fault or not.

All in all, this is the best quality and luxurious massage candle I have ever had.

I had promised my husband a massage for ages but he isn’t into sweet smells that you usually associate with massage candles. While snooping on here I spotted this. More expensive than most candles on here, I wasn’t deterred. I kept investigating. Keep reading to find out why you need this.

This is my first JimmyJane product. It won’t be my last. This candle will be our go-to massage candle from now on, its 100% worth its price tag. It arrives in a box. A smart classy looking box that advertises it and states ingredients. The smell that floats out of the box on opening it is amazing. Rich caramel smokiness filled my nose. So delicious. The candle itself, is in a white porcelain square pot which is spouted to allow it to be poured.

It needs to be lit about 20 mins previous to allow enough oil to gather and that should be enough to give a full body massage. I left ours a little longer as my husband is quite furry and hair does tend to absorb a little more oil.

The room fills with such a beautiful aroma. The oil goes along way, very smooth, non sticky and enables you to be able to glide effortlessly along the skin. If you have a furry OH, you’ll understand this is hard to do usually without ripping loads of hair out.

It filled with loads of skin-friendly ingredients such as jojoba, shea butter and vitamin E meaning he woke up super soft the following day and reported he didn’t stick to the bed sheets either. A win win situation.

I'd like to start by thanking Lovehoney for their fast and discreet delivery.

Me and my other half love giving each other massages, but have not tried massage candles before. I also love Jimmyjane products as through my experience, they are incredibly sensual and sexy. I was very excited to try this out and surprise my man.

The candle came packaged in a cube shaped box, with nothing overly sexual about it - it looks more like a box housing a luxury gift. There's no ick factor at all. It's simple, informative and classy.

The box explains that it's a smoky, oaken bourbon scent made with natural ingredients. Once you open the box, you're greeted with a little message saying "melt me", which I think is a nice touch.

The candle is secure inside the box to prevent breakages. The candle itself is in a china container, and a Jimmyjane branded sticker protects the candle. I'm assuming that this sticker also acts as an indication in case of tampering, as when I removed the sticker it tore up along perforated lines.

Before treating my man to a sensual massage, I left the candle out on our dresser on display - he genuinely had no idea that it was anything other than a normal candle. I would happily leave this out on display knowing that it just looks like any other candle.

When I treated my boyfriend to a massage with this candle, his first comment was on the soft scent. It's nothing overpowering, just incredibly sensual and relaxing. I chose bourbon as my man likes a glass or two of bourbon, and also because I felt it would have a smoky, woody, caramel scent, which it does.

It's faintly masculine but overall divine. I first poured a little oil into the palm of my hand to check the temperature, oiled up both hands and started massaging. The container has a little spout built into a corner, making it fairly easy to pour.

The container itself fits nicely in my hand, with a nice weight to it. He loved the warmth of the oil, and became relaxed very quickly. I used this candle with some hot stones and loved the soft, satiny feel of the oil.

The candle wax melted fairly quickly, and to my amazement, stayed slick on the skin the whole time. Soon enough, my boyfriend was fast asleep, which is incredible for us as he suffers from insomnia, and slept the whole night through.

Clean up was very easy. I had prepared the bed first by fitting an old sheet on the bed, and having an old towel to hand. I simply just laid the towel on his back, and gently patted him down dry. Afterwards, both my hands and his back were soft, silky and moisturised.

The next day I was inspecting the candle and noticed that the candle has tunnelled, but there was plenty of wick for it to level out. However, this is most likely my own fault as I didn't leave it to burn for 30 minutes as instructed.

Luckily, I happen to have a cook's blowtorch, and just torched the wax and let it level out, which took a minute or two, tops. As the container is porcelain, I'd imagine that letting it sit in hot water (but not letting water in the candle) might also level it out.

This candle has pride of place on our dresser now, and I hope to collect the other scents for further massage fun. We have also bought the Lelo massage candles, but not used them yet, so it will be interesting to see how these compare.

Both me and my boyfriend love this scent, which is brilliant because he is pretty fussy and hates anything that's overly fragranced. This would make a fantastic gift, or a lovely surprise treat for a loved one, and it's definitely worth the cost.

As our first wedding anniversary was approaching, I wanted to surprise my husband with a few things. I knew I wanted a news toy for us, but what? My husband doesn't really use toys for himself, and buying something for me seemed a bit selfish. I settled on some lingerie, a massage stone and this.

The price sounded very expensive, but as the reviews were good I took a punt. And I love a good massage, so any excuse is a good excuse!

My order arrived quickly and discreetly as always. On unboxing my order I was so pleased. This candle comes in a really lovely white box; it looks very high-end. It would be a perfect gift for someone who likes the finer things in life.

Once you get the candle out of the box, you won't be disappointed; it is a lovely white porcelain in a stylish modern design. There is a small pouring lip on one side and you get a dust cover for the candle which looks like frosted glass and has the Jimmyjane branding printed on it. I love this as it really finished off the high-end feel of the product.

I chose this product in the bourbon because it sounded so unusual and much more masculine than the vanilla or orchid! The scent when it arrived was incredible! It's sweet but slightly savoury and so intense. It really does smell amazing.

The the night came and we got the candle out together. The first thing to note is that you have to light the candle 30 minutes before you use it to allow the wax to melt evenly. This is fine if you were setting up a romantic dinner and lighting candles etc, but it's no spontaneous toy. In fact, by the time the candle was ready we already a bit overexcited!

The wax smells lovely too, and once you have blown the candle out and let it cool slightly you can drip it onto the skin. It feels lovely as the wax is still warm and it glides on the skin. From there it's up to you!

Our biggest problem with the product is that we felt so sticky and slimy with the wax on that we had to shower and change the sheets, which slightly killed the mood! For some people it might not have been such a problem or you may enjoy it, I'm not here to judge! We also didn't feel comfortable using the wax as a lubricant and this would have been nice.

If I'm hones,t I would be quite happy to have just burned this candle for the scent. The massage aspect is just a bonus for me. Because of the stickiness, I wouldn't buy this candle again, but I'm so glad I experienced it once. It would be a lovely first sex toy or even a nice baby shower gift.

I was looking for a massage candle to give the boyfriend as a stocking filler last Christmas when I came across this. Like another reviewer, I was wary of the large price tag. Many other candles were half the price, so what was so good about this one?

The other 2 glowing reviews and the candle scent won me over in the end. I liked the idea of a bourbon scent, which sounded much more sensual than the usual fruity smells you get and would also be a more masculine aroma for my fella.

Well, I was right to go for it. When it arrived it was beautifully presented and when the fella opened it up we found the candle was set in a beautiful white/frost glass pot with a small pouring lip on one corner. Not at all like the cheap plastic pots or tins you get for other candles. It also comes with a little brush for applying the melted wax over your lover's body. We tend to just pour and use our hands, but the soft brush has come in useful for other 'sense-teasing' activities.

After we got rid of the family at Christmas we tried it out. The scent is subtle at first; it doesn't overwhelm the room so much as tingle the senses. Once you pour it out and start massaging it in though... Wow! Does that gorgeous aroma hit you! It really is a very sexy scent that even the most manly of men will love.

As for how it feels, well, when do massages and oils not feel amazing? It's a silky soft wax and, combined with the sensual aroma, it feels utterly luxurious and is the perfect way to start the end of a romantic night with your other half.

This is definitely a must have massage candle. Whatever you do, don't let that price tag put you off! I promise you, it's worth it!
