No scentI bought these for a baby shower I’m having in September and to find out I don’t need them but the company will not let me send them back I don’t know what I’m gonna do with all these black candles they are non-ScentedNot a standard votive size wise…As a longtime candle user (particularly votive and tea lights), I am familiar with occasional wick problems.However, in my last order of 72 white votive candles, at least 1/4 of them extinguished themselves, no matter the wick height, and could not be salvaged. I use the candles for ambiance in my home, so other than being irked, no real harm. I could never use this particular product for an occasion or wedding when presentation is so important. Too risky.I love using these candles for dinner and parties, they are great in votives and last all night. Friends constantly comment how my candles can last so long and I refer them to these candles. I initially bought them for an emergency but found they are so pretty I am using them all the time..................you might have noticed everyone has rated these candles LOVE and for good reason...you will not find a better candle nor a nicer company [and i'll bet] nor a better price.. and they come right away. and look beautiful even before they are lit...translucent, opalescent, rather than waxy-looking and walmartic [i.e. cheap n toxic].and, remember what Martha Stewart taught us...although banned for use by American candle-makers, the USA allows imports to have lead in candle wicks. no, i don't know why [both why we allow it, and why china would use it]. check out :[...]a life-long friend gave me two Himalayan-salt candle-holders as a gift a few weeks ago. .. a votive candle nestles inside a softball-sized chunk of salt [shipped from Tibet via its warlord, china] and the heat of the flame warms the salt whose busy little atoms vibrate and give off negative ions to cleanse the air [and your aura, don't ya know].well i don't know, but its cool to have 2 beautiful pink chunks of Tibetan mountain with 2 beautiful lavender-hued american candles glowing from within.. makes me want to chant ..... aummmmm ....so peaceful, serene, & with a significant other, so romantic. time to fill up the bathtub for a nice soak.as i mentioned, SHOP-A-CANDLE is the best company ever. i inadvertently received scented candles [wonderful scent, by the way and even tho i am just way tooo allergic to practically anything but fresh air the unlit candle only created sneezes. profuse, BUT the usual response to scent with me is dire .. fragrances give me very nasty sinus headaches ...so if you like scents, it makes sense to spend a few extra cents [sorry about that] to order up a scented box along with unscented one ..so. SHOP A CANDLE went way over the expected to see that i was supplied with what i had ordered,asap, and generously offered for me to pass along unexpected the scented ones.and i shall. to my dear friend who gave me the salt candle holders [only right. she's the candle-freak, not me - she just knew i am empathize with Tibetan Buddhism et. al.].giva gift, get a gift .. give a hug, get a hugThat's known in Tibet as karma.or, in america, what goes round comes round.I have ordered these candles before with no issues, but this last box must be a bad batch. They will not stay lit. The wicks are too thin. They fall over into the wax as they burn down. I have to dig around it with a knife so I can relight them. Multiple times per candle. I should chunk them but trying to get through the box.Great for glass votive candle inserts. Perfect for the occasion.Great candles when offered at a good priceI tested one to see how long it would last, only 2hrs, so can't use them for the wedding reception.ces bougies correspondent bien à ce qu ej'en attends .Le colis est arrivé dans le dai prévu et en bon état
