A Note from Carolyn, Editor of CandleFind: Pure Integrity is my one of my favorite candle companies! They smell SO authentic, SO strong and are very clean burning from the soy wax they use...no soot at all. I promise if you try their candles, you'll never want to burn another brand again.

I recently purchased 2 candles from Pure Integrity based on the reviews I read. Like most of you, I have been buying candles for a very long time and have been pretty disappointed. I purchased the Vanilla Almond and Snow Clouds. They sent me a larger Snow Clouds then I originally ordered-that is awesome!! The Almond Vanilla I have been burning downstairs, I have a rather large home with open floor plan-the scent has traveled all through the downstairs and even upstairs!! It smells like warm sugar cookies baking in the oven. The Snow Clouds I have been burning in my bedroom-it is a very clean, soothing scent. It has filled up the entire upstairs with scent. These candles are really fantastic!!! The scent throw is amazing and I will definately purchase them again. They have also been burning nice and clean. 
***16FEB06*** Ordered two more large jars from this company. I purchased the Lime Spritzer which has a moderate scent throw. I also got the Wild Cherry, it has a great strong throw!!! I received some tealights in Fruit slices and Papaya and both were nice, the Fruit slices is a nice scent. I am not usually to into fruit scents, but these were pretty good. A little disappointed with the lime, but still really like this company!
***12MAR06**
Ordered some more large jars. The pumpkin pie is truly unique, the mix of scents is so great!!! You should give it a try!! I ordered a large Fruit slices and another Vanilla Almond (my fav) since my package got sent somewhere else apparently I got a free large Tropical Breeze!!! Fruit slices was ok. The throw was a little lacking. But, these are great candles!! Beautiful frosted glass and most have a really good throw. The customer service is just great too!!
***********************
Tropical Breeze has more of a floral scent, it is soft and I don't really like it. I actually threw this one out. The throw was pretty good though.
***************
Victorian Christmas is a disappointment the throw is just not there. I bought one as a gift also and the recipient felt the same.

After reading recommendations of this company, I placed an order for three of their 10 oz candles.
When my ordered arrived, I had a hand written note thanking me for my purchase, and two free Harvest tealights.
The jars are beautiful, no labels, and pretty wood lids. I love the double wick.
The first scent I tried was Pumpkin Pie. It is definately different than any pumpkin pie I tried. When I first lifted the lid and smelled the candle, I got a definate maple smell. I thought perhaps it was just me, but after having burned it for several hours, my daughter came home from school, walked in the house and said "Yummm...it smells like pancakes in here." So I guess I wasn't the only one getting the maple scent. I tried to detect "crust" smell, but couldn't...but I could detect pumpkin.
The next scent I tried was Victorian Christmas. This is destined to be a favorite of mine. Very fresh, clean....with notes of pine, and perhaps mint. A very good scent.
The third scent I got was Almond Vanilla. I bought this as a teacher-gift for Christmas, so alas, I can't burn it...even tho I really wish I could because it smells really good with the lid off. Guess I'll just have to order one for myself!
These candles are burning amazingly well, even with no residue on the sides, and no soot. I am surprised at the scent throw, you can smell them within minutes of lighting, and the scent lingers even into the next day.
The Harvest tealights I got were nicely filled, and had a cinnamon smell. I burned one in my bedroom, but could only smell it when I got close. I think with a larger candle this would be really nice, with a better scent throw than a single tealight.
I will definately order from this company again.

Scent throw not as strong as anticipated *see update*
|

I received my first Pure Integrity order this morning. I've been burning them throughout the day. After reading the reviews here, I was sure this would be a great candle company for me. I ordered three 10-ounce jars. I was very pleasantly surprised to receive the package quickly, with a hand written thank you note, and complimentary tea lights, that's a nice extra touch. The company itself is pleasant to do business with and has a great website that is easy to navigate. The jars are attractive in that they are simply frosted jars with a plain wooden lid, not too "country" looking as I find most other jar candles are. The plain frosted jars go nicely with my more contemporary decor.
The scents smell great on a cold sniff. I ordered Hot Mulled Cider, Caramel Apple and Victorian Christmas.
Unfortunately I am not getting the great scent throw I anticipated after reading the other reviews. I have burned each candle for a minimum of a few hours each, making sure to neatly trim the wicks, and allowing enough time to melt the wax clear across the entire top of the jar. Although I can lightly smell the candles burning in the room they are in, I can not smell them outside of the room they are burning in. Since my house has a very open floor plan I guess I expected the scents to "spill over" into adjoining rooms. I found this wasn't the case with any of the 3 candles I received. I would not by definition consider these highly scented candles despite the other reviews.
Overall, a very nice company with attractive jar candles that do smell good, but if you are really interested in a very high scent throw, maybe just order 1 to begin with to make sure it meets your standards of what you think is a high scent throw.
**Update** - on my 3rd attempt burning Victorian Christmas, the scent throw is stronger. It is now scenting one large room after an hour burn. Mulled Cider and Caramel are still weaker, but the throw has improved on Victorian Christmas. I wonder if the shipping process in such cold temperatures had something to do with this? Could the candles have been so cold on the trip over that it affected the wax, and now they are "warming up"? Who knows, but I'm happier! **SECOND UPDATE** - the other two, Caramel and Mulled Cider still did not produce a good scent throw. Throw was very weak. Just finished burning them completely, clean burn but disappointed in scent throw quality. I guess with this company like others, different scents are stronger. It's a gamble!

I have ordered from Pure Integrity several times. I keep going back to them because their candles are very authentic and almost always have a great throw. The quality of the candles is always outstanding. I always receive outstanding customer service from Jeff and Teresa. They are running a high quality customer satisfaction always guaranteed business. My items come nicely packed. They always include a handwritten thank you note and 2 free tea lights. I love getting this bonus because I can sample other scents before buying them. It's a really appreciative gesture.
Every candle burns clean with no waste. The scents are always real and always strong!
Among my favorites are Pumpkin Pie, Vanilla Almond, Fruit Slices, Vanilla, Creme Brulee, Amaretto, Chai Latte, Orange Vanilla, Blackberry, Victorian Christmas, and Hot Apple Strudel.
I've only been disappointed with one candle and that is Maple. It has hardly any throw and doesn't smell like Maple at all.
I highly recommend this company if you are looking for a high quality, highly fragranced, and well burning candle.

Oh, boy, where do I begin? First I would like to thank candlefind.com, because with out you, I don’t know if I ever would have found Pure Integrity. Next I would like to thank Pure Integrity for putting so much thought and attention to detail into the candles they create!!! You have not skimped on anything. From the soy wax, double wicks, soy based oils, beautiful frosted glass jars to the oak covers, to the great scents, everything is perfect. Here is what I got….
MAPLE (med throw)– I like this candle at first and I found over time, burn after burn, that it doesn't smell as good or strong. This is the only PI candle I have had that I can say I would not recomend.
PINA COLADA (huge throw)– OK, when I say this smells just like a Pina Colada, I’m not taking the easy way out. Pina Colada’s are my favorite tropical drink. And now I have it in candle form.
1.PUMPKIN PIE(huge throw) – This candle should win some kind of award. I thought I knew what a Pumpkin Pie candle should smell like. I had a certain expectation prior to its arrival. Well I was completely wrong. This is a strange (in a good way) candle. Unless you bake Pumpkin Pies all day, everyday, you might actually forget what a real one smells like (like I did). You could smell a million Pumpkin Pie candles and think “they all smell realâ€, with some small differences, but they don’t. This one does. Buy this candle. You’ll know what I mean.
2.CHAI TEA (stong throw) – Imagine a cup of black tea with a hint of spice,cinnamon mostly. There you have it. Simple and delightful.
3.CARROT CAKE (strong throw) – Now I wouldn’t say that this candle smells exactly like a real carrot cake in the freakish way the Pumkin one does. It is however the scent I was hoping for. I bought a carrot cake candle from some unknown candle company like six years ago. When I went back to buy another, they had stopped carrying the brand. For six looooong years I have occasionally looked for in stores, and purchased online, carrot cake candles hoping that they would smell like the candle I bought so long ago. This one has that same smell. I couldn’t be happier.
4.PAPAYA PASSION (strong throw) – They gave me this candle for “FREEâ€. So of course it’s great!!! It’s a wonderful tropical smell. I love it.
In closing...watch out Yankee, Pure Integrity is the new generation of candles
****************UPDATE*********************
I think that I have pinpointed the unusual sent in the pumpkin pie candle. It's a strong molasses smell. Upon researching a few recipes for pumpkin pie I discovered that molasses is not part of the recipe. So mabye I am just wacky.
##########Update February 2006##########
5.LIME SPRITZER (med/stong throw) - Smells like lime Skittles!! That's the only way I can think of describing it. It's very unusual.
6.PEACH (med throw) - This is a creamy peach scent. I prefer fresh but this one is still good. It's fresh,tart peach and cream.
7.Vanilla (Huge throw) - This is your very basic Vanilla smelling candle. I was hoping for more of a sweet vanilla. I think I'll try buttercream next time. If you like vanilla you'll love this one for sure, as I do, but I think this candle helped me discover the fact that I prefer a sweet Vanilla. I still love this one though. So strong!
8.Pear (have not burned yet) - I got this candle for free! If you have ever drank pear juice, which most of you probably haven't, it smells just like that. I like it. Pear juice for those of you who don't know smells like pear but not like a freshly cut open pear from the produce section.
