Rating (out of 5): 4.0
Comments: These easily replaced my old paraffin tapers.
I used them at the dining room table and their natural colour blended in
with décor. Did I notice if they lasted longer or burned brighter?
Well I didn’t really pay attention – as I was enjoying the company,
food and drink. An interesting bit on these dipped taper candles is that
they are truly hand made - repeatedly dipped and cooled at least twenty
times until the desired size is reached. Definetely will stock up on these
for the winter.

Clove Candle (Tamey)

Tester: Patti and Tamey
Rating (out of 5): 4.0 and 5.0
Comments: Patti: Lovely! This is marketed as a
luxury candle and it feels like that on first impression – the classic
packaging is upscale, the design of the glass container is modern and clean
and the ingredients are all natural. The luxury piece is seen in the price
… a treat for yourself or a special gift for someone?
Tamey: I love this candle. The scent is wonderful...when I have a
bath the whole upstairs has the light scent of Orange, Grapefruit and Clove.
The candles "home" is a shelf above my bed and every once and
awhile I get the wonderful aroma - truly a luxury. But don't we all desire
a little of that every once and awhile. Oh and its burn time is 50 hrs...so
that equals one dollar an hour!

Comments: I used the candles the other night during dinner
and I was very impressed. The candles were lit for two hours and only went
down about 2 cm and they didn't drip or smoke. They also had a lovely "honey"
scent.
