Burn them on my outdoor patio all summer long. Also used them in my kitchen in the early to late spring to keep the flies away.

Poor Design for an Outdoor Candle

Would Not Recommend

Very disappointed with this candle. I love the scent which is why I bought it. The design is awful. The wick flame goes out with the slightest breeze. I would not buy this again, or recommend it to anyone.

In addition to the poor design and the flame blowing out constantly, I bought it to repel bugs. It was only after I bought it that I saw it does not repel mosquitoes. I thought that was the point, especially from a brand that sells bug spray.

The smell of OFF without any of the benifits

Would Not Recommend

I know it explicitly says it doesn't repel mosquitos. However, this is defining characteristic what OFF is known for. With the name OFF comes an expectation, the expectation is to keep insects off. I get it; this product is unintentionally misleading. But given the brand being OFF it's unavoidably misleading customers.

I would not buy off products again

Would Not Recommend

Not a mosquito repellent, off is known being a repellent but it clearly states on the candle it is not , false advertising , wasted a lot of $$$ over the years, I work at a major grocery store, and I will try remove this item from our inventory

I would not buy this

Would Not Recommend

My pregnant wife and I wanted to spend an evening on the patio mosquito free and tried using this candle. We ended up getting eaten alive. I later saw the label says 'does not repel mosquitoes'. I grew up trusting and using the brand Off and never once thought they made products like this. I will read the small print on the all labels in the future. I'm such a fool.

An OFF product that doesn't repel mosquitos

Would Not Recommend

This is a cheap scented candle, nothing more but a total misuse of their brand. I purchased the product thinking it repelled mosquitos because it's the OFF brand -- that's what they do. But nope. The Lowe's employee laughed when I showed her the reason for return, right there below the OFF logo: "Not intended to repel mosquitos."

Mindless marketing

Would Not Recommend

Why would they put the OFF brand on a candle that has no bug repellent's. They should've just put SC Johnson on it. It's like putting "Hershey's" on a snack product, and then opening up to find an apple. Mindless We bought this for a party and now I need to return it because it's going to provide no protection at all.
