FRAGRANCE: Bird of Paradise - A magical blend that defies description - An all time favorite
TYPE: Votive - Large flower pot type
BURN TIME: 35 hours, according to Circle E. This is a very slow burning candle to start out with. It takes several hours for the wax pool to reach the edges the first time it it lit.
CLEANLINESS OF BURN: Very clean, no soot or smoke.
OVERALL OPINON: This is an awesome candle and an awesome frangrance! The scent is so yummy, you just don't want to blow it out! If you like fresh strawberry shortcake with spring's first crop of sweet strawberries, angel food cake and lots of whipped cream, this is the scent for you! The strawberry part of the fragrance is there, but subtle. The addition of the sweet creamy part of the fragrance is just what is needed to make this is strawberry candle one I will definitely buy again!
MY THOUGHTS: This fragrance was a pleasant surprise to me! Strawberry is usually not one of my favorite scents for candles, but this one is different! I lit my candle early in the morning when I got up and began working in my home office. By the time I left to go pick up the day's work, my office was really smelling wonderful! When I returned three hours later, the scent was incredible! Just like strawberry shortcake with lots of whipped cream! I will definitely add Bird of Paradise by Circle E Candles to my list of favorites!
Because the votives made by Circle E are the large flowerpot type, be sure to allow enough time with your first burn for the wax pool to reach the edges to prevent tunneling. I blew my candle out before the wax pool reached the edge, and it tried to start tunneling a little bit when it was lit again, but I was able to salvage it and get it to start burning evenly again. Overall, I highly recommend Circle E Candles and their Bird of Paradise fragrance - Try it, You'll like it!

While these are not my favorite candles; still a good candle. I'm hard to please when it comes to candles. I want one that is strong and fills the room. Some of the scents do while others may not.
Scents I've Burned:
Sugar Cookie
Bird of Paradise
Spice Cake
Tropical Something???
The smells are very authentic and it's always hard to choose which scent to try. Some of the scents fill a room more than others. Bird of Paradise is one of the stronger ones. I bought mine at a speciality store. I belive these candles are a parafin type. The appearance is nice with great jars.
They are certainly worth trying. They may be your favorite.

This is another candle company I discovered from this site. I was very tempted to try their Birds of Paradise scent but since I already had so many strawberry scented candles, I decided to try the one called Peace instead.
I was amazed at the nice scent that came from this candle. I tried the 12 oz. jar, and the scent filled my living room in less than 30 minutes. It also burned evenly and cleanly. Because of the success with this one, I am sure I will order again from them.
My only issues were that the candles are a little pricey, but not too much so. Also, when I placed my order, I only ordered one 12 oz. jar candle and when I received the package, the box was so large that the postman commented on it, wondering if I had ordered the whole store! In turn, the company just really surrounded that one candle with TONS of bubble wrap, peanuts, filler, etc. I guess the packaging is done like that since their jars are made of such a thick, high quality, and heavy glass, but I think it might have been a little overdone.

I'm reviewing the 28 oz Fresh Cake jar candle.
I've purchased several scents, but this is the only one I've burned thus far.
The scent throw is strong and smells delicious, just like fresh cake. I have a large great room with vaulted ceilings.
The candle has burned evenly with no smoke and no tunneling. The candle is double-wicked so the wax pool forms fairly quickly. The candle was a slow-burning candle so you will need to allow time to let it burn through to the edges. The wicks mushroom and need to be trimmed.
I purchased the candle through the circle e webstore.
While not the cheapest candle out there, I think it's worth it based on the scent smell and throw as well as the classy appearance of the jar itself. Shipping for me was free with purchase of $100 or more which I took advantage of.
The candles were well packaged and arrived safely at my home with no breakage.
The candle is a paraffin wax candle. The jar is a heavy glass square jar with a lid that can be used as a stand. A very nice looking candle jar compared to all of the jar candles I've seen.
I will definitely buy from them again.
