I have a new obsession with these candles.
So first, smell... I personally like clean smells and nothing overwhelming. First I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon and I'm in love. It is slightly on the masculine side but has an elegance to it that makes it soft enough for a woman as well. It's exactly what I would imagine a gentlemens parlor would be like as the men sat around with Bourbon and cigars after dinner while the ladies were in the drawing room. Very refined yet reserved. I received a few samples of other smells. Beach day reminds you of just that. Very similar to the mix of oils I use on a warm day, beach side getting a little sun kissed. Not overwhelmingly sweet but a light hint of paradise that will automatically transport you to your favorite shore. Balsam and Citrus is one I can't get enough of. It's a little sweeter like the aroma of pineapples but has undertones of the outdoors too. This one is certainly among my top 2. (Although I can't decide which is my most favorite). Ecuadorian rose is a sweeter floral smell that engulfed my room with serenity. It immediately takes me to the home I grew up in with my mother putting on her perfume for Sunday morning service.
Feel- I use these as massage oils. I have very delicate sensitive skin and break out easily so I wanted to really test these before reviewing. Nothing but moisture and amazing smells. So many times I've tried oils that leave me needing a shower or I'll ruin my sheets because they leave you sticky or tacky. These soaked in to my skin after about 15 minutes or so but gave me enough time to enjoy my massage. They are not overly slick but are extremely moisturizing. It helps your hands glide effortlessly with warmth and relaxation. It left my skin soft with a light scent that was not over powering.
Longevity- soy candles are always great at longevity and not burning up quickly so you certainly are getting great value. A little goes a long way with these.
Packaging- these come in black tin cans that look nice with any decor. They are simple and stylish.
Over all I'm in love. Small business, in america, using quality healthy products that not only make you feel good but helps improves yourself all over. I will eventually own an entire collection of these candles as I collect one by one. I can't wait to try the rest of the products too.
