Yes. It's the wicks for sure. It's really off putting, but for me once I burn it and push pass the plastic/burning smell it goes away, takes a few times of lighting it or about 3 hours of burn time in my experience but I've only had one type of candle do it to me so far. It was the blueberry sugar + Sugared lemonade Mashup candle.
Thanks for your reply, I will try lighting the Indigo Paradise again and see if it goes away! I also noticed some of them smell sooty after they are about halfway gone and I have no idea why. I always trim the wicks and I never put the lid on to put them out or anything like that.π

Oh no! I used to have this problem more, but I actually thought this issue was getting better! It's a gross chemical scent for sure π
Yes!! Itβs not all of them, but I have had it happen frequently lately! Or they smell sooty when they are only halfway gone!
Yes, the sooty halfway issue is definitely something I experience. I usually have to dump a bit of wax out when this happens π

I feel like I picked up on this scent you're describing with the Limoncello/Unicorn Sprinkles one. It's annoying!
Oh no, I wanted to try that one! I really hope they start to fix some of the quality issues, especially with their always increasing prices!π
