Bought Sunrise Serenade as my first candle from Essence & Elixir. Honestly didn’t expect much, but it burns really clean and the scent feels balanced. I light it almost every evening now.

I’m usually very picky with fragrances because strong candles give me headaches. This one is surprisingly soft. It doesn’t fill the room instantly, but after a while you just notice the space feels calmer.

I like that it’s not trying too hard. The fragrance is there, but it’s not loud. Works well on my work desk during long days.

I keep this in my bedroom and light it before sleeping. It doesn’t feel heavy or artificial, which is important for me. Would definitely try another scent.
