How Did My Fruit Slices Candle from Pure Integrity Smell?

First of all, I think Pure Integrity should change their name to Pure Indulgence. These candles were everything I was told they would be. I can't count on all my fingers how many times I made friends and family smell my candles again and again till they wanted to smack me (secretly jealous of my good fortune though). What stood out the most to me was how authentic my candles smelled. It amazes me how these candle makers can achieve such an authentic fragrance.

I think you all are getting to know me well enough now to know I'm a fruit freak. Give me any kind of fruit candle and I'm pretty much happy and content. Fruit candles come in so many packages from melons, apples to citrus, tart, tangy, sweet, you get the picture. Fruit Slices is all that wrapped into one delicious and savory candle. Everything I love is in this candle, sweet, tart, tangy, juicy. My candle is a blend of tangerine, mango, pomegranate and oranges so you get to smell a bit of everything. I would say tangerine & oranges stood out the most to me with mango and pomegranate giving a hint of sweetness that was just right. This is another candle you want to dig into with a spoon till it's all gone.

I lit my candles right when I woke up one morning and not even 5 minutes after I lit them, I began to notice the fragrance. I always burn two candles at a time because my great-room is open and huge with 12 foot ceilings so I normally need two to completely fragrance that size room. When Jeff and I were discussing this on the phone, he said I probably would only need one because Pure Integrity candles are so strong. I thought to myself as I'm listening to him, "no way! One candle, yeah right!" But, he humored me anyway and sent two. :-) Well, I could have probably gotten away with one but, I'm absolutely LOVING two!!

I could smell this fragrance morning noon and night. All throughout the day, I found myself closing my eyes and breathing in the incredible fragrance in my house. I know when that happens, I've found a keeper. Scented candles have a wonderful feature because they have the ability to enhance your mood. A simple fragrance can relax you, energize you or just plain make you happy. I don't know about you but with my stressful life, I can use all the natural relaxing mood enhancement help I can get!

The scent throw with Fruit Slices is incredible; I can smell it in every part of my upper level. And, when I'm downstairs, I can smell the fragrance down my stairwell as I'm walking back upstairs. It's a very bright, lively and refreshing scent. For fruit lovers out there who enjoy burning fruity candles all year around, this is the "granddaddy" of fruit candles.

My Overall Opinion of My Fruit Slices Candle and Pure Integrity...

There are very few soy candles I've tried and been happy with so I admit I tend to favor candles that are paraffin wax. I don't know why but a lot of soy candles I've tried, I have a hard time smelling. When I burn candles, I want to be blasted with scent, not burn my nose trying to smell the fragrance. With that said, I was incredibly pleased and happy with my candles from Pure Integrity. They were very strong and fragrant but what impressed me the most is how authentic my candles smelled. This company has really nailed that one down flat and I highly recommend this company to anyone who loves authentic and strong smelling candles.

Pure Integrity gets the highest of ratings from me and I look forward to trying all their other fragrances in the future (and knowing me, the very near future). The candles I've tried so far truly stand out and I think even the pickiest candle lover would be extremely impressed with them as well. Are they worth the price?... Absolutely!  I don't know if I would be able to afford these candles on a weekly basis which is my habit but I'll definitely be purchasing them as often as my purse strings will allow, that's for sure. I'm sold and have already added this company to the top of my favorites list.
