Pros: Widely available, nice fragrances
Cons:

I have tried many scents by Colonial at Home, but one of my favorites is "Water Lily", described by the company as "Serenity and escape are embodied in this delightful scent that combines floral and water scents to transport you to your own personal private place." I tried a votive in this scent, and just loved it! This votive burned slowly and evenly and very cleanly, and the scent throw was amazing for one little votive! "Water Lily" is a wonderfulyy clean floral scent in a long-lasting and reasonably priced candle. Very soft and feminine, yet one small votive can fragrance an entire large room. This candle is a lovely rosy pink color, perfect for springtime or anytime, and the fragrance is just wonderful!

As I prepare to begin work each day, one of my first tasks is to light a candle in my home office. It is so nice to have a wonderful scent fill my office as I work. I lit my "Water Lily" candle for the first time aound noon, and by about 12:20 p.m., my office was filled with the most beatiful fragrance! Soft, feminine, cool and clean are a few good ways to describe "Water Lily" by Colonial at Home. The scent throw on this candle is really awesome also - Even without lighting my one tiny votive again, the candle fragrance was strong and very easily detected around my desk area! Overall, I would definitely recommend Colonial at Home and especially "Water Lily" if you are a fan of beautiful floral scents!

Pros: Widely available, Burns extremely well
Cons:

Great Pillar-Burned exceptionally well. No drips, did not tunnel in the center, very clean. The top of the candle remained flat and level, unlike other two pillars I was burning at the same time.


Scent-Vanilla- Not exceptional, but had bought off Ebay so, have no idea how old it was...


Definitely a good choice for bold, tall candle holders. The other two pillars dripped down my holders and ruined them.

Pros: Even burn, pretty containers, good range of scents
Cons: Okay scent throw, some much weaker than others *updated comments below*

Since my current favorite candle brand was out and I needed a candle for my master bathroom, I picked up a Colonial At Home large 22 oz. candle on sale the other day. The scent I chose was summer linen, thinking it would be great for a bathroom.


I do like the scent, it's fresh and clean without smelling "fake". I noticed on the shelf at the store many different types of scents from fresh, floral and fruity to warm, spicy and seasonal.


I do like the interesting oval shape of the container and the two wicks are great, I found it quick and easy to burn across the top of the candle allowing for a clean burn from top to bottom.


The scent throw is only okay, and that's for just one room. My master bath is large, though not overly so, and this large candle will scent that room after the wax pool begins but does little more than just that one room. For such a large candle I expected to be able to smell it spilling into the master bedroom and maybe even the hallway. I tried it in the kitchen, a large space with an open floorplan, and the scent throw was of course even less noticeable. So back to the bathroom it went.


*updated comments* - Giving Colonial at Home one more try today, I picked up another large 22 oz. oval jar candle in Moroccan Spice. Whoa! Now this one is fantastic. I love the exotic warm scent and the dark amber color of the wax, it's such an attractive candle. The throw on this one is much better, it is burning in my kitchen and I can smell it all downstairs, even creeping up the stairs to the top floor. As with any company, some scents will be stronger than others. This Moroccan Spice is one of my current faves of the moment, I jumped my rating from a 5 to an 8!

Pros: Great smells extremely clean burning.
Cons:

I have a med size candle in vanilla brandy. The candle burned completely clean the whole way through leaving nothing on the glass at all. You would think it was a soy candle it burned soo cleaned. The throw of this scent was pretty good. It scented up my whole living room . Definately would repurchase but i wish they would have some more sales for these . They are pricey like yankee but way better than yankee.

Pros: Nifty fragrances, nice jars, good prices
Cons: Have a hard time finding locally

Ok, my latest obsession is Fresh Baked Bread, I've been trying to find this scent for 3 years and Colonial has done it, one I am pleased with. I also love the holiday scents, they are sweet and put out a good amount of fragrance.
