Love the smell. Haven’t used them yet. Packaging was a disaster. Nice touch for bugs instead of the big ones. Can set the mood while keeping bugs away

How Do Citronella Candles Work?
Citronella is an oil distilled from grasses. It has a lemony or citrusy fragrance that masks other odors, effectively confusing odor-tracking insects. So, citronella will ward off pests, not kill them -- it's used in diffusers and wax candles to clear the air of pesky biting bugs when people want to enjoy some time outdoors.
Releasing the volatile compounds in plants is an ancient practice still in use in developing countries and among those in search of more "natural" insect repellants. Citronella oil, as is the case with a number of plants containing chemicals that emit an odor when bruised or broken, wards off multiple pests. These include the female mosquito, the culprit responsible for all those itchy bumps you acquired at your last backyard barbecue. When the oil is infused in a wax candle, the scent is released over time in a cloud of smoke the mosquito would prefer to avoid.
