Summary: Smell great but give me a headache
Comment: These candles smell wonderful, but if I sit next to one for too long, they give me a headache. I'm giving mine away to friends with stronger brains.

Summary: Black Fumes!
Comment: This candle is made from petroleum instead of soy, so it lets off black smoke in my house. I don't feel that a $25 candle should be doing this. Not only are the fumes staining to walls, but they're also potentially unhealthy if breathed in directly.

For $25 I was also expecting a much larger candle than the 7oz one I received. I haven't used it enough to speculate about it's longevity yet, I'll be surprised if it lasts the 50 hours that Votivo promises.

I picked up the Red Currant and to me it smells exactly like grapefruit. Luckily I enjoy the scent of grapefruit, but it wouldn't have been my first choice.

It's unlikely I'll order one of these again. I originally found them for $14 at a store near my house and I thought the store was carrying the smaller size. Turns out they're selling the same exact "50 Hour" candle that Amazon is selling, but for eleven dollars cheaper. If I decide to disregard the petrol issue and investigate more of these scents, I will definitely be doing so locally.

I give this candle two stars because the throw is actually quite impressive and the scent, while not what I expected, is pleasant. To recap:

1. They're using a petroleum base instead of soy. If it's staining to my walls then who knows what it's doing to my lungs.

2. I don't believe a 7oz candle is worth $25.

3. The Red Currant shouldn't have smelled like grapefruit.

So there it is.
