 AI reviews summary 

Royal Essence receives high praise for its lifestyle products that include hidden jewellery, with users highlighting the high quality of both the scents and the surprise items. The overall sentiment is exceptionally positive, driven by the perceived value of the jewellery—often appraised higher than the purchase price—and the effectiveness of the candles and bath bombs.

Pros
High-Quality Scents: Fragrances across candles, bath bombs, and soaps are frequently described as "divine" and long-lasting, with specific praise for the rose and mint chocolate scents.
Jewellery Aesthetics and Value: The hidden jewellery, including rings, necklaces, and earrings, is consistently lauded for its stunning appearance and high appraisal values (ranging from $100 to over $250).
Excellent Gift Appeal: The "surprise" element makes these products a popular choice for birthdays and Christmas, providing a "gift within a gift" experience.
Fast and Secure Shipping: Delivery is noted for being quick, with packaging specifically designed to protect the products during transit.
Cons
Limited Size Inclusivity: A recurring request from long-term customers is for a wider range of ring sizes, specifically larger options like size 12.
Occasional Quality Control Issues: Isolated reports mention jewellery arriving with missing stones or candle wicks being buried by melting wax.
Lack of Material Information: Some users expressed a desire for more detailed information regarding the specific metals and materials used in the jewellery pieces.
Regional Availability: There is noted disappointment regarding the closure of specific regional storefronts (notably the UK site).
Verdict

Royal Essence is a highly-rated choice for consumers seeking fragrant home and body products with the added value of surprise jewellery. While there are minor calls for better size inclusivity and more detailed material specifications, the overwhelming majority of users find the products to be high-quality, excellent for gifting, and worth the investment.

Received a candle in the post as a birthday gift. Imagine my shock when I opened it up and it had already been previously lit! The mystery bag was at the very top? Not at all covered by wax. I was very disappointed. I took the little bag out but this is what it looked like when I opened it up :(

Beautiful ring. Loyal custy here since 2020. Love the candles but I think R/E need to include bigger ring sizes. I used to be a size 10 band but I blew up after having another child. Ring size 12. Any chances we can include these sizes??

 Follow-up  · No ring sizes are missing. R/E only do ring sizes from 6-10 bands but I'm so sure that there are plus size girlie out there like myself that would fancy being able to wear these beautiful rings because I have collected a few now and I can't wear them anymore. Please include bigger bands - love Royal Essence xox

i did not paid attention to the instructions and it was a very big surprise for me to find a ring inside. Its a very nice idea of gift. I have received the mint choc chip candle as a gift too and the smell is so nice.

This was a gift to me from my daughter. Absolutely gorgeous. A beautiful opal is the centre stone on a decorative band. Never disappointed with the surprise jewellery.

A gift from a living daughter – Candle smells lovely, jewellery earrings studs; gold metal, with clear stones, look cheap. Have had a couple of these pieces of jewellery & they are always valued on the lowest level, stones have fallen out, very disappointing. I wouldn’t buy as a gift

Not great Be extremely careful – I ordered over $170 worth of products, order was delivered with no issues however I was sent the wrong product. a Bath bomb without a ring inside when I paid for a bath bomb with a size 7 ring. I have been in contact with the company and they have now apparently sent 3 replacements that Australia post have lost. Absolutely ridiculous and there is… Read more

no explanation except it it is out of their hands.... Seems strange the first time shipping products had no issue and then all of a sudden Australia post have lost 3 deliveries.

I was absolutely blown away by the ring I received from my Royal Essence Candle. The ring is genuinely stunning – a beautiful green heart-shaped stone surrounded by sparkling detail, and it honestly looks far more expensive than it is. Knowing it’s valued at £103 made it even more exciting, but the quality really speaks for itself. The fit is… Read more

perfect, it catches the light beautifully, and I’ve had so many compliments already. It feels well-made and special, not like a cheap surprise at all. Royal Essence Candles have completely exceeded my expectations – such a lovely surprise and a brilliant added touch to an already amazing candle experience. I’ll definitely be ordering again!

I purchased my products a while ago,when they had a sale on. I burn a candle every now and then and find a surprise inside. I've had two rings so far and now a necklace. The candle I'm burning at the moment is the Christmas Cookie 400g, it smells absolutely divine. I've got a candle burning pretty much 24/7 in my house, one burns out, I light… Read more

another one straight away. I also gave a girlfriend a gift, one of the body scrubs, which had a ring inside also, she absolutely loved it. She did the appraisal and told me it was appraised at about $250, she was very excited and happy with her gift

Brought my daughter a watermelon & lemonade soy candle for her 14th birthday. The candle smells devine and is very big. Very pretty ring, just perfect for her. Appraisal was $175 more than I originally paid. Thank you, this is such a beautiful gift that keeps on giving.

My Ring was quite near the top of my candle so I didn't need to wait long to find it. It's a lovely silver ring with small white stones around a bigger green stone. It's also a good size so actually fits my chunky fingers!

Royal Essence’s Ring Whipped Soap is luxurious, wonderfully scented, and leaves skin incredibly soft. The whipped texture feels amazing, and the surprise ring inside makes every use exciting and extra special. Highly recommend!
