Light, clear, natural beeswax scent to these candles. They are extremely clean-burning and reasonably priced versus other brands of 100% beeswax candles I’ve purchased in the past. Minimal packaging that easily recycles with a nice motto on the box: “what you burn, you breathe.” Recommended without reservation!
Having poured my own 100% beeswax candles for many years I know how difficult it is to find a wick system that burns neither too slowly nor too quickly (beeswax is much more challenging than cheap wax candles). This wick system is perfectly designed.
I am delighted that these candles are packaged with cornstarch peanuts (which disolve in your sink–you can even eat them!) rather than those horrible styrofoam peanuts.
I also enjoyed the clever saying on the box, “You are what you breath” (or words to that effect!).
These candles are unscented–that is to say, all you smell is pure beeswax. They are the perfect size for my crystal votive holders of ruby red, deep amber, emerald green, and colbalt blue. I burn them every Saturday before bedtime in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary and they are still alight on Sunday morning.
A NOTE OF CAUTION WITH ANY CANDLE: you never can tell when a candle-holder will crack from heat and if you are not present when this happens, disaster may ensue (I have had two ‘close calls’). I now place my votives in a pyrex dish with a layer of water at the bottom.
