I first learned about these candles in Massage School and thought, "how cool"! After I smelled them and had the pleasure of burning them I was sold. Then when I found out just WHY they are the best candles in the world and met the creator himself...I was even more so completely sold! Just knowing they are a healthy candle to burn and that the smell lasts through the whole thing...I simply can't say enough!!!! These are THE ONLY candles I buy for myself and my friends. I even bought these in place of Yankee candle scents that my friends requested on their Wedding Registry's!!! Hey! I want people to have the BEST and they are worth the extra buck you may pay up front!!
