Scented soy candles.

I purchased this candle from the website and the scent I tried was Red Clover Tea. I was immediatly impressed by a handwritten card that thanked me for my purchase. I also appreciated that it was packaged well. I have unforturnately received candles (not from this company!) that have not. I was a little disappointed because when I received the scent, it was Red Clover Passion. I don't really care about the title, but I expected more of a tea/herb like scent because it had "tea" in the original title. Red Clover Passion isn't a bad smell at all, though. It is a hard scent to describe. It smells slightly like red fruit punch, but not overly strong or sugary. I don't think it smells perfumy or fake, but I know that doesn't help when I can barely describe this scent:). It has a very pleasant, unique aroma that I would recommend trying as a safe mystery scent:-). I purchased a 5 oz. jar and the website said that even these petite jars are strong enough to fill a whole room. I wouldn't go so far as to say that for this particular scent. It is a small jar with a small mouth. Even strong scents don't usually travel very far in small mouthed jars. But it was a good candle for my bathroom. With the door closed I'd say it could fill a small to medium sized bathroom with fragrance. I would recommend buying a larger sized candle to scent a room in your home. The jar has burned cleanly and evenly. I've burned it for several hours already and it is burning at a nice, slow rate. I only paid $5.99 for the 5 oz. jar because I just wanted to sample the scent, but since you have to pay for shipping and it seems you can't buy a certain amount and get free shipping, I'd go ahead and buy a larger candle. I think it is safe to say you won't be disappointed with the quality. Because the candles are soy, burn nicely, and the company has a good number of scents to choose from, I think I am going to try purchasing one of their larger candles in the future. Happy Hunting:-)
