Scentables Candles

November 06, 2007

I love candles. I believe that this has been well-established by now. So it's time for another candle review.

Scentables Candles

Scentables Candles makes a variety of different soy wax in candles in a huge number of scents. One can choose from floral, foodie, bakery, fresh & clean, nature, and more. With all of these, I was hard pressed to choose just a few. It was more like "one of each, please!" But, sanity reared its ugly head and I managed to stave off the beast of compulsive shopping and limit myself to just a half dozen or so different choices.

My favorite scents are bakery and other "foodie" scents so the majority of what I chose is enough to cause huge weight gain since I want cake and cookies and doughnuts and apple crisp now!

These candles have an amazing cold throw. If you cannot burn a candle for some reason, you could simply remove the lid and let it sit on your dresser, desk or counter. It won't scent as strongly as when it's lit but it scents enough that you'll know it's there.

Once I did light the wick, it's as though I'd summoned a scent storm. A cloud of heavenly fragrance hovered for a brief moment over the candle and then slowly spread through the room filling every corner with the deliciously heavenly aroma of Cinnamon Vanilla. Our home has an open floor plan so each room just flows into the next. One small single wick candle from Scentables Candles was enough to scent the entire living/dining/family/kitchen area after just 30 minutes or so. Yum.

What I really appreciate about these candles is the fact that they are soy based. Because of this you don't get the black soot in the jar (or on your walls) and no odor of burning wax. The burn is clean and even.

Scentables Candles also offers wax melts which are available in the same scents as their candles. In addition, there are a number of different warmers to choose from. You could pick up a warmer and a few packs of melts as a Christmas gift for friends or family or as a treat to yourself! I, of course, would know nothing about doing this. No, I'm entirely innocent...

The candles come packaged in bubble wrap and surrounded by peanuts. No chance of opening the box to find broken glass anywhere.

I've tried a variety of scents and I've not yet found one I don't like. The are all incredibly strong and long-lasting... without being obnoxious or in your face. I'm sure we've all been around those strongly-scented candles that smell like granny's perfume and bring tears to your eyes. Not these. No, these are simply divine, elegant, delicious candles.

Check out their Monthly Special. Each month a different 11.5 ounce candle is on sale for $10.00 (normally priced $13.00). This month is Caramel Pecan. Yum. I may just have to go order a candle. Or three...
