I found this website while doing a search on the internet. Jenna's Country Soy Candles offers tealights (in metal containers), wicked and unwicked tins, 5/8/9/10/16oz jars, melts and tarts, specialty and holiday candles, school spirit candles...and the list goes on!
I tried (as you would guess if you've read any of my recent reviews:-)) a 4oz. travel tin in the scent Gingerfruit. The tin was a solid silver with a solid silver lid. A little round label was located on the top of the lid with a peaceful farm field scene, the name of the company, the website, and the phone number. I also received an unscented body butter sample with my order.
The color of my soy candle was white, but that was the standard color for the scent Gingerfruit. You can either go with the standard color for the scent, leave the wax as a natural soy wax color, or customize the color wax you want for just a dollar more.
Gingerfruit has an AMAZING throw and is a very strong candle scent for such a little tin. This fragrance is AWESOME. It smells just like an orange cream soda. I think I can even smell the carbonation! I started burning my candle in my office, which is a medium sized room. I couldn't believe how strong the fragrance was. I moved it to my open living room and kitchen, thinking the scent couldn't fill that open of a space. Boy was I wrong! Everytime I leave my office and walk into my living room, I can smell this super cool scent. And this is from a little 4oz. tin! I can only imagine the throw of a jar in this fragrance! The website describes the scent as, "reminds me of a fresh, fizzy soday from the soda jerk." I have never smelled fizz in a candle before, but I really think it is captured in this candle!
The wax burned cleanly and evenly down the tin. I kept the wick trimmed and there was no visible smoke from the wick.
The only reason this company received a 9 and not a 10 is because the website said my receipt would be sent to me by email, and it never was. I was at the library at the time and didn't have 10 cents to print off the receipt, but thought it would be fine since I was supposed to receive an email receipt. I emailed the owner, asking her if she could please resend my receipt to my email, and to also let me know that she had received my email. I never received an email receipt or a response. I did receive a receipt with my tin, but I would have rather received a response to my email.
I would love to read reviews from other people if you try other scents or the tarts or jars. I was incredibly impressed with this scent and how unique it smelled. When I went to order a tin in Gingerfruit, not all the scents are in alphabetical order. I found it at the bottom of the scroll down list. So if you see a scent you want to try on the scent list and don't automatically find it when you go to order, keep looking, because it's probably there! Jenna has a good selection of scents and I'm sure you can find a scent you enjoy. Happy hunting from Jen the candle hunter:-)

I just received my candles. After reading the great review above, I could not resist trying the Gingerfruit. I ordered the largest jar size. I also ordered 2 other candles (16 oz?) in Dewberry and Citrus Flip. I sent an e-mail and received a reply back quickly. They had just poured my candles, so I was told to wait a week or even longer to burn them. I am impressed with the cold smell of all 3 scents-I think the Citrus Flip might be a knockout!! Will have to let you know...so far, so good.

Hello! Just wanted to say that I agree with the above poster-Gingerfruit is a great candle!! It has a tangy fruity throw-very difficult to describe, but good-great for summertime!!! Give it a try if you love tangy fruits!! I think you'll love it!!!

Burning my Gingerfruit today and it just carried everywhere!! This candle has a great throw. I had it in my bedroom and it carried all the way down the stairs!! The scent reminds me a bit of mojito cocktail. Dewberry is a little light for me.
