I am not a candle person at all and never have been---tossed the many that were given to me out.  I think they add to the clutter and who wants to dust them?  Plus, having fire in an object in the house is a danger, potentially.

I love Harry's candles, but I think they may a bit stronger than a lot of the candles I have used in the past...They burn clean and for me since I have a small house, I burn them maybe for 2 hours, and then that's it, and the scent lasts........You may also want to check out Pure Integrity Candles, they are 100% Soy and also burn very very nice, and they have great scents as well...

The new cocktail collection doesn't interest me. I've seen previews in a couple Facebook groups of the holiday candles yet to come, and some of them look gorgeous and sound really beautiful based on the scent notes. There are a lot more to come, and I believe there is a TSV on 11/20.

DON'T BUY THE STORYBOOK TIN votive candle set IF YOU LIKE FRAGRANCE TO BE THERE!

You can still buy this item "as is" **but if you try to review it, YOU CAN'T.** 

I bought this to gift it -- NO WAY CAN I DO THIS NOW.

How can Harry Slatkin CO. have other "as is" candles -- like the 4 wick Candy Cane Kisses candles that have a lovely "throw" of fragrance, but then have these votives that smell like wax from a dollar store?

Now I'M DONE WITH BUYING CANDLES FROM QVC.

@Quse  They are great candles in my opinion. The only problem I have is the scents are very strong and I can only burn them for short periods.

@goldensrbest, I would be paying over twelve dollars shipping for both ways, so my refund would end up being only a little over seven dollars. That's the reason I won't ship back. However, I am happy with my four wick Candycane Kisses candle--at least at first burning. We'll see ( or rather SMELL) how it is upon second burn.

They smell very fake. My one memory of them is that they seemed to smoke and burn fast.
