This is a storefront operating in Galena, Illinois and which also sells over the web.
I purchased these candles while in the store. The store was cheery and the salespeople very friendly and helpful. All of their candles are soy-based. I sniffed every scent they had and selected three for testing. In the store, the scents were nice.
However all three candles turned out to have almost no scent throw when burning. When sitting three feet from a candle that was below my sitting position, there was almost no scent. They were akin to buying unscented color-tinted decorative candles. Even when hovering directly over the candle, there was only a faint scent.
They did burn clean and melted reasonably well.
Unfortunately, they are also priced higher than several other candles that I like much better.
[Addendum: I did purchase my candles during the first week the store was open. Perhaps that batch wasn't made correctly - although I did purchase three different scents and all were practically unscented when burning.]
