Customer Reviews of Febreze Home Collections Green Tea Citrus Flameless Luminary Starter Kit, 1 Kit Box
Customer Review: Looks GREAT, excellent faux candle effect, unique...
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This appears to be a a hig-quality product, with a a nice build ( wood base, LED flicker effect) and certainly does offer a room filling scent.
As others have noted, the unit is pre-loaded with the battery, and all you need to do is open the foil pack with the paper shade and place it on the unit. ( it will NOT light up without the shade in place).
The scent is only related to the shade itself, the candle effect with the flickering light is just that- a very well done special effect.
I love the look, clearly a far east theme, and when the unit is turned on there is a warm yellow glow that replicates a real candle to perfection.
In fact the unit is so attractive one might feel like buying a few......BUT...... Out of the foil pack,the scent on the shade is VERY strong - in some ways amazing if one wants to fill a room or two with a noticeable (very) scent.
After a few days, it does calm down to a level of what you might smell if you were to brew several pots of green tea.
* I MUCH prefer it after a few days! *
Unless you have a huge home, I would NOT buy several to use at once, certainly not in the same room! ( it is quite tempting, as the unit is VERY attractive ).
Though probably not exactly intended, I did notice that when I put the unit on my balcony in my apartment, not only did it look nice-but go figure-- no bugs! Thus, I could see them being used outside!
All in all, I truly think the look is great, but the out of the box effect can be overpowering. The automatic shut off of the flickering effect in 4 hours is very nice as well.
Customer Review: Whoa, that's strong!

This review is not for people who pour a bottle of perfume over their heads and then sit in front of me in the theater. This review is for people who get stuck in an elevator with someone who poured a bottle of perfume over their heads, and walk off with a migraine or asthmatic wheezing or even just a really negative view of the whole experience.
My youngest daughter should be reviewing this, since she said it best. "That's too much good smell, that's kind of BAD." Don't put it in the same room if you are sensitive to scent. I love a nice subtle scent, I buy Philosophy shampoo and bury my face in my own hair throughout the day, but I don't like overpowering smells, and this is overpowering.
I'd have given it one star, or maybe two, but it redeems itself in a couple of ways. It flickers nicely, and as long as it's not within 10 feet I like it, and when the little shade runs out of scent (2015? 2025?) it will make a really nice little lantern-type light.
OK, either my nasal nerve endings have been asphyxiated or the scent has toned down a little. I recommend it, I love flickering fake candle type lights, I have dozens of fake candles and this paper lantern type design is wonderful, and as my 10 year old son said, "from far away it smells good." I probably won't be buying any shade replacements, though.
Customer Review: Not for the faint of heart, or those with small rooms

First, the good: this is a really pretty way to get scent in a room. It is well made, the shade looks gorgeous when lit and the flickering is very natural and is pleasant to have going. I really like the looks of this product and feel it is worthwhile.
Now the not so good: OMG it is soo strongly scented. I opened the envelope and placed the shade on the candle base and the entire HOUSE (granted it is small) was filled with scent. Very very strong scent. I like Febreze and have used other products of theirs, and frankly this one surprised me. The amount of smell coming off this thing was amazing (in a bad way). My husband came home and thought I had broken a bottle of perfume in the living room. He also had to leave the area after half an hour as his sinuses began to bother him. I also had sinus reactions to the product. A friend who is chemically sensitive had to leave our house after fifteen minutes. After just touching the shade, the scent lingered on my fingers for the rest of the day, regardless of handwashings. I would not recommend this to anyone with allergies of any kind.
Nice idea, well made product, WAY TOO STRONG.
Customer Review: Flameless Luminary
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
I don't like to use a real open fire at my home for fear it might get out of control, so I welcomed the idea of the flameless luminary. It is battery operated, and the light flickers almost like if it was real candle behind the shade. The smell is pretty nice. I like the artwork on the shade. You turn on the luminary by dropping saturated paper shade on the base, and the luminary will work for about 4 hours after that. If you want it to turn on again just lift the shade and put it back again. On the box it said that each shade will last for about a week, mine lasted about 5 days, probably because my kids kept activating it all the time.
The one thing that I really didn't like is that you have to touch the shade to turn it on, and it leaves irritating residue on your hands. On other home fragrance products there is usually a warning to not touch the oil, or wash it away quickly if contact occurs. I didn't find this warning on the luminary here, though, so maybe it is OK to touch it, but I still don't like it.
Customer Review: Great Smell for One Use!
Summary: 3 Stars
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
We loved the smell of the Green Tea Citrus. It replicates a candle lit lantern nicely. It is quite attractive overall. We liked everything about it except that the scent only lasted for a few hours. I thought it would last longer. I now would consider this like any other one use scented candle that you have to replace after a single use. The scent is in the shade itself, which comes in a sealed bag. When you place the decorative shade on the base it presses down on a button which triggers the base to flicker for 4 hours. It doesn't actually cause the scent to release or anything like that. Once you open the scent bag you have started the countdown on the scent time. The base only gives the candle effect. You can lift the shade off the base to stop the flicker or let it time out after 4 hours. You can take the shade off and put it back on to start another 4 hour cycle. The base runs on a single AAA battery that lasts for a long time considering the tiny bulb than flickers. I just wish the scent lasted longer.
