Housed in a green glass jar that features a design very similar to M&S’s canned mojito (£2.50, Ocado.com), this candle is fresh, aromatic, zesty and a little bit sweet (it really does smell like a mojito). However, the throw and potency is a little underwhelming. The supermarket’s mojito tinned cocktail contains lime juice, mint flavourings and white rum, and, while subtle, the mint and lime come through. There’s even depth and warmth from a faint hint of rum – although, admittedly, that may simply come from the classic association of lime and mint with rum, since those ingredients are so often paired together. If you’d like an uplifting, subtle scent, you’ll like this one.
As with all the candles in the range, M&S says this candle has a burn-time of up to 100 hours. Although I haven’t had time to test this claim, I believe it – the candles are large, with a long wick.
