Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 9    Pros: soy wax, offers both fragrance and essential oil, offers soy pillars Cons: none from my experience:-) It is getting to be in the 70's here in Virginia, and hopefully warmer weather is on the way for the rest of you as well. I love my fruity scents, and with the weather warming up I couldn't help but think of summer and all the delicious fruits that seem to taste better during that season. With that in mind, I tried a 4oz. candle tin in Strawberry Supreme. Although Soyphisticated has a variety of fruity scents to choose from, they also have lots of interesting and really unique combinations in categories such as: sweet and savory, earth and flower, herbal (and fruit), outdoor, summer scents, Valentine scents, and winter/holiday scents. Camille, the owner, also offers essential oils along with fragrance oils. Supreme Strawberry is actually classified as a summer scent and is described as, "Not just a strawberry! This one has to be tried to believe it!" I took that to mean that it was an accurate, authentic strawberry fragrance. Once I received my candle, I didn't find that to be the case, but it smelled yummy all the same:-). Supreme Strawberry smells like strawberry cheesecake to me, and the fragrance smells good enough to eat! My 4oz. candle tin is silver with a clear plastic lid, rimmed in silver. A round, unintrusive see-through label is on the top of the lid with the name of the company and the scent of the candle. I burnt my little candle in my laundry room/bathroom, which is a medium sized room. The scent carried incredibly well and was medium-high in scent strength. I loved having to walk into my laundry room to "inhale," uh-um, I mean to do laundry:-). My candle tin burned nice and clean down the sides. The wick produced little to no black smoke. If you do buy a candle tin, however, I would say to trim the wick very short after the first lighting. My wick tended to bloom a lot and I had to use a pair of tweezers to dig out wick debree. It seemed I didn't have to use the tweezers as much when I cut the wick really short. I really enjoyed my Strawberry Supreme candle and would like to try some of the other unique scents this company offers. Soyphisticated has lots of jar and tin sizes to choose from, along with tealights, votives, and pillars. A free sample of Oatmeal, Milk, and Honey soap was sent with my order as well. Happy Candle Hunting from Jen the candle hunter:-) Cosmic Registered: Mar 2006 Posts: 5 Review Date: Tue Apr 25, 2006 Would you recommend the brand? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Great scents Cons: I have only burned a couple candles, and both were strawberry scents--they both were absolutely wonderful! They also burned clean and the wicks had small mushrooms, but not any more than other candle companies. I plan to go back and order more! I am on a fruit kick this past month, and have been trying more than the usual bakery scents. From my experience, I would say this company has great candles. jnnedel Registered: Feb 2007 Posts: 17 Review Date: Sat Feb 16, 2008 Would you recommend the brand? Yes | Price you paid?: None indicated | Rating: 10    Pros: Cons: I bought 2 16 0z candles from this company. One was a trio of angel type scent, pink crystals middle scent, paradise third. The angel was very realistic. The pink crystals I guess was like a pink sugar type, didn't get to Paradise yet. I also bought a grape scented candle as well. First, I have to say these are the cleanest burning candles I have ever had. The burn was beautiful, very clean. The scent on my candles were a med throw to strong. Med in a large room. These candles in my opinion are high quality with very true to life scents. Definately worth a try. Camille also threw in a free Peach soy lip balm (very nice).
