Grape:
When I first saw this candle, I was really surprised...the entire radius of the jar was hand painted with grapes and leaves by the owner of Soycandlesite.com, Mickey Moschitto. It looked awesome and what a nice touch to an otherwise simple glass jar. I asked Mickey if anyone can purchase a candle this way and she said yes, all you have to do is request this under the “special instructions” section when ordering. A hand painted candle is $7.00 extra. To me, that’s a steal because the workmanship seems extensive and a hand painted candle would make such a great and unique gift.
Back to my candle...I think Grape is a pretty self explanatory scent so I’ll exclude the scent description on this one. When I stuck my nose in this candle, it smelled just like grape soda or grape Kool-Aid. I liked it right off the bat. I lit the candle in my bedroom and left the room for a good part of the day. I would go back every now and then to trim the wick and smell the air...I could smell the scent and it was nice but it wasn’t super strong. On a scale of 1 to 10, I’d give it a 6. So, medium throw.
I’ve been burning this candle for 3 days straight now and it’s a nice sweet grape Kool-Aid type fragrance...I liked it but wished it could have been a tad stronger. On the happy side...I didn’t get that fuel smell at all and my candle burned perfect.
All in all, I liked this candle, just would have preferred it stronger.

liked the site and love their scent selection. They offer 100% soy candles for soy lovers out there (which are many) and I think this site is worth shopping on. I would try them again just to see what there other fragrances are like. On the negative side, I wasn’t blown away by the specific scents I picked. The hand painted candle was gorgeous and I would buy that alone in a heart beat but as far as the scents themselves...I just thought they were “ok”. I did not care for Tropical Cooler but Grape was pretty good.
