• Buying candles online can be tricky unless you already know the brand and scent.
• Snif allows you to test its candles and only pay for the ones you want to keep.
• I tested their trial kit before purchasing and was impressed with the quality of the candles.

One of my simple joys is spending hours twisting candle lids in stores and sniffing around until I find the perfect scent. I’ve always wanted to buy candles online, whether it’s an online exclusive sale at my favorite candle store or a new brand of candles, but buying one before I smelled its scent left me has always deterred.

Then I came across Snif’s try-before-you-buy candle program. Snif is an online luxury perfume brand that lets you test its perfumes and scented candles for seven days before you buy. For this review, I tried Snif’s Candle Bundle Kit, which the brand sent me as an editorial review sample.

The Candle Bundle Kit consists of three sample size scented candles and three full size candles in assorted scents. You can burn the sample size candles and decide whether or not you want to keep one or all of the full size candles within seven days. Read on for our full review of how it works and what we liked about it.
