 Smell great but give me a headache June 21, 2008
These candles smell wonderful, but if I sit next to one for too long, they give me a headache. I'm giving mine away to friends with stronger brains.
 Great present April 27, 2008
This candle lasts a long time and has a great smell. It's the only one my daughter requests for a gift.
My favorite candle February 20, 2008
It's not cheap, but nothing of quality ever is. Definitely worth the money. Amazing smell. A+!
awesome January 13, 2008
Votivo candles are just the best. The Red Currant is my sisters favorite and this was a very good price!! Her whole house has the suttle smell of this candle!!

This candle is made from petroleum instead of soy, so it lets off black smoke in my house. I don't feel that a $25 candle should be doing this. Not only are the fumes staining to walls, but they're also potentially unhealthy if breathed in directly.
For $25 I was also expecting a much larger candle than the 7oz one I received. I haven't used it enough to speculate about it's longevity yet, I'll be surprised if it lasts the 50 hours that Votivo promises.
I picked up the Red Currant and to me it smells exactly like grapefruit. Luckily I enjoy the scent of grapefruit, but it wouldn't have been my first choice.
It's unlikely I'll order one of these again. I originally found them for $14 at a store near my house and I thought the store was carrying the smaller size. Turns out they're selling the same exact "50 Hour" candle that Amazon is selling, but for eleven dollars cheaper. If I decide to disregard the petrol issue and investigate more of these scents, I will definitely be doing so locally.
I give this candle two stars because the throw is actually quite impressive and the scent, while not what I expected, is pleasant. To recap:
1. They're using a petroleum base instead of soy. If it's staining to my walls then who knows what it's doing to my lungs.
2. I don't believe a 7oz candle is worth $25.
3. The Red Currant shouldn't have smelled like grapefruit.
So there it is.
