 Black Fumes! January 11, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.
 Red Currant Candle-Votivo September 26, 2007
The candle was shipped in an expeditious manner. This is a quality purchase and I love it! There is a very good chance that I will purchase another Votivo Candle in the very near future. This candle is a great value and would make a terrific gift for anyone.
 Nice candles September 3, 2007
Good product. But buying in quantity, one must be careful as each company has differnet delivery rate on Amazon. If I have known better, I would have bought from a single company rather than two. But the product is good on arrival and delivered on time.
The fragrance is great! July 17, 2007
The honeysuckle Votivo candle is my favorite scent, but I haven't gone wrong with any of the Votivo products.
Amazing February 26, 2007
These candles are expensive but worth every penny! The scent fills the room and they last forever!
