Lobues Candle Co is an online store selling scented candles in over 41 fragrances and counting. They currently offer four apothecary jar sizes to choose from... no tarts or votives as of yet but ya never know, those could be added sooner or later which I know many of us love to purchase. I know they plan on adding tea lights soon which will be great for those who love burning tea lights. That's also a great way to sample scents before purchasing more expensive jars.

Lobue's Candles website is pretty simple and easy to navigate through. I also had zero trouble picking out the fragrances I wanted to review so no surprises there.  I'm trying to broaden my horizons "so to speak" and am attempting to pick fragrances I normally wouldn't. I still played it semi-safe and picked a for sure winner, Lemon Drop and then one out of the Christina's safe zone box, Asian Green Tea. I was also, as a last minute thing sent a brand new scent recently added to the menu called Texas Paradise.

My candles are classic style apothecary jars with flat glass lids. There are labels on the face of each candle with the company logo and scent name on it. Asian Green Tea was drum roll,. Green! Lemon Drop was yellow and Texas Paradise was Pinkish with Red White & Blue chunky colored wax in it.

How Did My Lobue's Candles Smell?

Asian Green Tea:

This candle was not what I expected at all. I assumed from the name that is would have an herbal tea smell, maybe even with a bit of spice or something, WRONG!! When I first sniffed it, it smelled really perfumey to me and right off, I didn't think I was gonna like it. It had a weird smell cold and smelled sort of old lady'ish causing me to crinkle my nose in a state of blah!

Plugging along and not really looking forward to it, I lit this candle in my usual bedroom location and waited for some results. I didn't have to wait long and am happy to report that this is a nice strong fragrance and smells totally different burning than it did cold. Low and behold, I actually liked it! Yeah I know, I couldn't believe it myself. Here is the scent description for this fragrance:

"This fragrance has an exquisite blend of refreshing and relaxing green tea and herbs interwoven with hints of melons and amber."

I still wasn't picking up any herbal (at least my nose didn't think so) but the fragrance was very relaxing and travels far. I couldn't really make out any melon or amber either. I couldn't figure out what I was smelling but whatever it was, it was really pretty and unusual. I'm still sticking to a perfume type smell.Every day I had this candle burning and guests were over, I would get compliments and every single one asked me what I was burning. I really pay attention to what guests think of the candles I have burning so when I receive positive response, I know it's a winner.

Asian Green Tea was very fresh and different and I almost want to say bordering on exotic. I do recommend this fragrance if you want a fragrance that is unique and out of the ordinary.

Lemon Drop:

As an avid Lemon connoisseur, this one was most excellent. It reminded me of Lemon Pucker scents I;ve tried in the past. It was tart, lemony and oh so delicious!  I loved it!! The scent description for this scent is:

:Mouth watering, fruity old time lemon drops candy. This one will make your lips pucker! Sensational."

This is a pretty straightforward tart lemon scent and there really isn't much more I can say to explain it. It's tart, sweet and a wonderful lemon scent. I do recommend it and know if you're a lemon nut like me, you would enjoy it as much as I did.
