Unboxing and First Impressions
The Woodwick Pink Hibiscus Citronella candle arrived in a simple yet elegant clay tray. The four wicks are clearly visible, promising a robust and even burn. The pink wax itself looks inviting, and the hibiscus scent is already subtly noticeable even before lighting.
At $15 (during the Yankee Candle semi-annual sale – originally $30!), this four-wick outdoor candle represents excellent value. The reusable clay tray could potentially serve as a planter or decorative container once the candle is finished.
Burning Experience and Scent
Lighting the candle was surprisingly easy. Each wick ignited quickly, and the characteristic Woodwick crackling sound was immediately present. The scent is a beautiful blend of fruity and floral notes, with a strong yet pleasant citronella undertone to repel insects.
The candle burns intensely, producing a significant amount of heat and a powerful fragrance. The scent throw is impressive, easily filling a patio area. The crackling sound is also very soothing and adds to the ambiance.

This Woodwick Pink Hibiscus Citronella candle is a fantastic addition to any outdoor space. The strong scent, beautiful ambiance created by the four wicks and crackling sound, and effective insect repellency make it a winner. The reusable container is a bonus.
While the original price of $30 might seem steep, the sale price of $15 makes this candle an excellent value. For those who enjoy outdoor entertaining and appreciate the ambience and insect-repelling benefits of citronella candles, this is highly recommended.
Final Verdict
The Woodwick Pink Hibiscus Citronella Outdoor Candle delivers on its promises. It's a strong performer in terms of scent throw and ambiance, effectively repelling insects while creating a relaxing atmosphere.
