The Details

There’s nothing whimsical about this candle with the whimsical name.

It has captured the allegiance of many with its compelling aroma, comprised of a veritable medley of pleasant smells.

Here’s what the candlemakers have to say about their creation:

“The candles, which feature soy wax and are hand-poured in New York City, have key notes of honey, smoke, leather and lavender, each chosen because of their special connection to the barber shop.

“The notes are eclectic yet fit perfectly together; just like the candle’s namesake Tompkins Square Park as well as the East Village where the Blind Barber is located. The candles are midnight blue and are housed in ‘Barbicide’ jars, the iconic, stainless steel and molded glass jars used by barbers everywhere.” 

We were impressed with the candle’s clean, fresh scent, reminiscent indeed of a trip to an old style barbershop.

When you light the cotton wick, however, it just gets better. The lavender aroma overarches all other scents, but not to distraction.

One crabapple reviewer said he thought the candle smelled “about as masculine as Grandma’s house.” He was, however, way in the minority.

Based on all reviews and an Amazon Choice award, Blind Barber receives a five-star rating from us.
