I purchased three large candles from Shorties, they have a soft wax and only have jar candles in 5 different sizes. I chose the largest 23oz. I ordered White chocolate mint, oatmeal raisin cookie and spiced amaretto. The spiced amaretto was a gift, the cold smell was nice. The white chocolate mint has been nice, very strong throw goes all around my large downstairs a strong peppermint/chocolate scent. The oatmeal raisin cookie scent is nice, not as strong as I thought it would be and as was suggested on the site. They have this cool thing called a "Scentometer" and it is supposed to tell you how strong the throw will be on the different scents. All the ones I chose were to have strong throws. I have enjoyed the White Chocolate mint and got this one on sale for approx $16. I think I will try some more scents, I will stick with the stronger ones and the largest jars though. If you like the peppermint/chocolate scent-they have a very nice version. Their jars are clear with little labeling which is a nice change also. So far the candles are burning cleanly requiring the regular wick trimming. Overall a good experience.I will order again.
****Have ordered again. Love the White Chocolate mint!!  Also like the Blueberry Lemon

In my quest to find an outstanding Vanilla candle, I came across Shortie's. They have a Vanilla Bean scent I just had to try. It is awesome and I have placed numerous orders! Their Vanilla Bean scent is powerful, rich and creamy. When I burn my candles I can't help but to take a deep breath in and smile. I have never had a problem with an order until my last one. I ordered 3 Vanilla Bean Candles in the 23 oz size. When I got them home and started to burn them, they burned clean and evenly as always, but hardly had a scent throw. Since it was not by far my first Vanilla Bean candle from their company, I emailed them. Customer service was very prompt, concerned and professional. They actually gave me a discount code to use on my next order which was very nice. I have tried other scents from them, but keep coming back to the Vanilla Bean....my favorite. Other nice points about Shortie's is their offer of free shipping for orders over $65.00 and their daily and weekly sales on various scents.
----Update----
Since I love Shortie's Vanilla Bean, when they came out with Vanilla Bean Walnut I couldn't resist. The addition of the walnut to the already incredible vanilla bean is outstanding. People coming into my house kept swearing I was baking something! The only problem I have now when I order is - Vanilla Bean or Vanilla Bean Walnut???? I'm not sure which one I like better!
