If you love it, let it go.

With every drop of wax, our original scent embodies the struggle at the heart of the “kill your darlings” adage.

This candle’s bold undertones of vanilla and cherry appeal to the bravery required to fulfill one’s duty, to the temptation to pale before that which is demanded of us in the greater interest of our story.

Merlot—liquid courage—rounds out this scent, which is topped with a tease of something sweet—the reward for having done that which needed to be done, no matter how hard it might have been.

Like all the others I’ve purchased from KYD candle company, “Kill Your Darlings” delivers a complex yet subtle, long lasting blend unique to other candles on the market. In this case, a balanced, hypnotic recipe of vanilla, cherry, and merlot; distinguishable yet harmonious fragrances. Yum! So, too, I love that all KYD candles are labeled with beautiful artwork, clever names/whimsical sub-headings that inspire both writers and readers alike.

A light but sweet scent that reminds me of candy. A perfect 0 calorie pick-me-up for after lunch.

I really like this candle. It has a lighter fragrance than my other KYD candles, but it’s very pleasant. Kind of reminds me of Cherry Garcia ice cream, but without the chocolate notes. I also love how evenly these candles burn. This is definitely a wonderful namesake candle!

So far, I’ve burned three different KYD candles and so far, Kill Your Darlings is my absolute favorite! The fragrance isn’t overpowering, or too perfumey, and the candles burn clean. I especially like that there isn’t a vanilla after-smell, as with so many fragrant candles. Once you blow it out, it’s dead. (pun intended!) My kind of candle!

This candle is pleasant to smell. It is the perfect blend of its scents. Everything comes across and nothing overpowers anything. Everything lives in harmony. Moreover, this candle smells exactly how I expected it to. I took a sniff and went, “Oh, that’s vanilla. And that’s cherry! Is that merlot?” I checked the tin and saw those things listed, in order no less! Never before have I smelled anything where each component is so distinct yet uniform. Normally, the integrity of *something* is compromised, but this candle really has struck the perfect balance. If you enjoy any of those scents, you’ll like this candle.
