Welcome note:

You have found the home of what we would like to call gourmet soy candles.  Not necessarily gourmet to the taste buds (don't eat our candles, it is bad for you!) but rather gourmet to your sense of smell.  The fragrances we use in our gourmet soy candles will suite the taste of every candle connoisseur.  Sit back, take a deep breath, relax, and enjoy your stay here.

About our candles:

Our soy candles are not singly scented, double scented, or triple scented... they are optimally scented.  Adding too much scent to a candle can produce a hazard by causing the candle to spark and be quite oily without improving on the scent of the candle.  Overly scented candles may also put out an unwanted, unwelcome, and unhealthy amount of soot.  We have taken quite some time to come up with the perfect blend of wax and fragrance to offer our customers a product they can depend on.  When you take a whiff of our soy candles and observe the smooth burn and the fragrance throw, you will know you have purchased a top quality soy candle.

Ever had a stale candle?  That won't happen here.  Our candles are made AFTER you order them.  This means you will have the freshest candle available on the market.  We like to compare it to enjoying an orange just picked from the tree, or a cup of coffee from a freshly roasted bean, or... well, you understand!

According to the American Lung Association - "slow burning, scented, paraffin candles cause lead poisoning and using slow burning paraffin candles cause poor indoor air quality, and a serious health concern."

It is also stated that the carcinogens produced by paraffin candles is equal to the damage cause by second hand smoke from tobacco smokers.  Does this mean you should throw away your paraffin candles?  That is entirely up to you!!
