I'll be honest.. I wasn't expecting much, but these candles flat-out impressed me. The smell's strong but smooth, fills up the whole room without runnin' you out of it. Burns clean and even, no mess, no fuss. Makes the house feel warm and homey in a hurry. The car air fresheners are great even in my large vehicle and they last about a month. I have tried everything and every scent that they offer and I reckon I'll be ordering until they stop making them.
