My wine night without the hangover
I love the smell of a good red wine but I can't be drinking every night. This candle gives me the vibe without the headache the next morning. The black cherry is dark and jammy and the merlot note makes it feel fancy. I light it when I'm cooking dinner and suddenly my tiny kitchen feels like a wine bar.
My roommate thought I was having a party
I lit this candle on a Tuesday night. My roommate came out of her room and asked who was coming over. I said no one. She said it smells like a celebration. The black cherry merlot is that kind of scent—rich and festive.
no issues
The candle was packed tight with bubble wrap. The black cherry merlot scent is deep and fruity without being fake. The 6.7oz size is good for a small space.
Perfect for date night
My wife and I do at-home date nights and this candle sets the mood. The black cherry merlot scent is rich and warm without being too sweet. The 6.7oz size is perfect for the dining table and the single wick burns evenly.
Smells like a wine bar
I used to go to a wine bar that had this exact scent—dark cherries and red wine with a hint of something woody. This candle takes me back there. The 6.7oz size is great for my living room and the single wick burns clean. Good for unwinding after work.
Strong throw for a 1-wick
was surprised how much scent this little candle puts out. The black cherry merlot fills my whole living room. The 6.7oz size is small but mighty
Smells like a fancy wine bar
I was surprised how authentic this smells. The black cherry is dark and jammy and the merlot note adds depth. Not a typical fruity candle at all. Burns clean with no tunneling.
Rich and fruity without being too sweet
This candle has a deep cherry scent with a wine-like note that keeps it from being cloying. It's warm and sophisticated—great for evenings.
Great for fall and winter
This candle is perfect for cooler weather. The cherry and merlot blend is warm and cozy without being too heavy. The single wick burns evenly and the 6.7oz size is just right for my bedroom.
Perfect for date nights at home
I lit this candle during a romantic dinner at home and it set the perfect mood. The black cherry and merlot combination is warm, inviting, and just a little bit sexy. Not overwhelming, just beautiful. The throw is impressive for a 1-wick and the burn is perfectly even
Juicy, warm, and long-lasting
Love this candle! The black cherry is rich and authentic, not like artificial cherry candy. The merlot note adds warmth and complexity that keeps it from being too sweet.
Smells like a fancy wine tasting room
I was looking for something different from my usual woody scents and this Black Cherry Merlot blew me away. The cherry is dark and jammy, the merlot adds this warm, slightly tannic depth—together they create this cozy, sophisticated vibe.
Rich, fruity, and absolutely divine! 🍒🍷
This scent is incredible—deep, dark cherries with that warm, sophisticated merlot note that makes it feel grown-up and luxurious. Not too sweet, not too wine-forward, just perfectly balanced. The 6.7oz size is perfect for my bedroom and the single wick burns evenly with no tunneling
Burns clean and lasts long
I've been burning this candle for over a week and still have plenty left—the 40+ hour burn time is accurate. The single wick stays centered and burns evenly all the way down. No tunneling, no wasted wax. The jar is elegant and fits perfectly on my nightstand.
Perfect for trying new scents
This 6.7oz size is ideal for testing out a new fragrance before committing to a larger jar. The single wick burns clean and evenly with no tunneling. The soy wax quality is excellent—no black smoke or soot. The jar is still beautiful and substantial for the smaller size. Shipping was fast and packaging secure.
The strongest throw of any candle I've owned
I live in an open-concept apartment and have struggled to find candles that can actually fill the space. HomeLights delivers! I lit this in my living room and within 20 minutes I could smell it all the way in my bedroom. The scent is beautifully balanced and lingers for hours even after blowing it out. If you want a candle that actually performs,
These candles last FOREVER
I've had my 34oz HomeLights candle for over a month now, burning it almost daily, and here I got a small one! The value is absolutely insane. The scent throw is consistent from the first burn to the last, and the soy wax burns so cleanly with zero soot. I've tried so many "luxury" candles that burn down in a week—never going back.
Obsessed doesn't even cover it
I finally understand the hype! This was my first HomeLights purchase and it absolutely won't be my last. The scent is incredible—strong enough to fill my whole apartment but not so overpowering that it gives me a headache. The soy wax burns so clean and even, and the 3-wick design creates the most beautiful glow. I've burned it for hours and the wax pool is perfectly level. Already planning my next order!
Wanted to try the hype—now I get it
I kept seeing Blackcherry Merlot candles everywhere and finally grabbed the small size to see what the fuss was about. Now I totally get it. It's fruity but sophisticated, sweet but not candy-like. The perfect balance. The small size still throws great scent in my bedroom and burns evenly. Already ordering the large one for my living room
My go-to for chilly evenings by the fire
There's something about this scent that just screams 'cozy night in.' The black cherry is rich and sweet, and the merlot gives it this warm, boozy depth that's perfect for fall and winter. I light it while watching movies under a blanket and it instantly makes everything feel more magical. The small size is perfect for my living room and burns slowly.
Set the mood for our anniversary at home ❤️
My husband and I had a stay-at-home date night and I lit this little candle to make it feel special. It worked perfectly—the black cherry is sweet and romantic, and the merlot adds this deep, sophisticated warmth. It felt like we were at a fancy wine bar. Even though it's small, it filled our whole living room with that gorgeous scent. Burns evenly and lasts long. Will definitely buy the big one!
