Candlefind Review Board Archive

I had picked up some of these candles on Ebay recently -- 5 - 20 oz round jars and 4 - 18 oz square jars. They burn and liquify well, with minor attention to wick postion and length (double wicked). Their scent throw is pretty good for a wax candle (definately no worse than some of the Yankees I have bought in the past!) -- and seemingly scented according to what you would expect. They burn relatively cleanly -- but a bit soft and oily (if that is possible). I would say that they are great for all purpose burning -- especially if you can pick them up cheaply enough and don't mind burning parafin wax. I have burned the Juicy Orange, Gardenia & Machintosh so far without any real difficultly -- you have to keep them under a watchful eye since the wicks can tend to get big and flame up. I also have a honeysuckle, lavender, pina coloda & fresh fruit slices yet to try. But for outdoors or porch candles -- these are great bargains -- or to put into a candle warmer too. Julianne

I tried Truly Scented several times. They have some very nice (strong) scents. Among my favorites were Lily of the Valley, Pina Colada, Snickerdoodle and Cinnamon Buns. The only bad thing about the candles is you constantly have to blow them out to trim the wicks or the soot from the wick falls out into the candle and you can see the black soot going into the air. I have actually had to wash my living room walls a few times after burning their candles....yuck. If you try their melts, good luck getting them out of the container!! I think the soft wax composition makes the clamshell container very difficult to work with.
