I believe these candles may have been "seconds" because in both cases the wick was not tightly constructed and caused the flame to sputter. I had to. It down the wicks often and I felt this burned the candle down more quickly. I could see the three strands of the wick separately and not tightly twined together as in prior ones of this brand. Since it happend with Noth candles purchased I conclude it a second and not disclosed as such. Not happy.My favourite candle in the world, so far. Smells like fresh tomato vines!!!I love it. Very pricy through. $$$I hate candles that smell synthetic or sickly sweet. This candle is perfect. Smells like a clean and welcoming home should smell. I get compliments on it all the time.These are probably the finest candles I have ever bought. The scent is absolutely amazing. You only need to burn them for about 5 minutes to send an entire room for hoursThese are really nice candles. I’ve been using them for years. This particular scent is soothing and enjoyable.Best scent from Votivo. Items arrived packed very carefully and sealed to keep the scent in tact. Great candles, make a great gift.This is my favorite fragrance in a candle. I was crushed when Aromatique stopped making it, so I am glad to have found this brand.This candle has a lovely fragrance that fills the entire room!
