Candles are a tricky endeavor for me. I am a person who is hypersensitive to scents, even the ones I enjoy. DW Candles are literally THE best candles I've tried. They keep a consistent, pleasant scent that never becomes too overwhelming. They have a really long burn time. They burn even and leave little to no soot behind. I am a fan of natural and tropical scents, and these are spot on. They smell how they are supposed to smell. My new favorite is the Pink Apple and Coconut. I love it! The Crackling Candles with wood wicks are great. You will not be sorry if you purchase these candles. They put the Gold brand candles to shame. I am very happy I found DW Candles.
