Through my involvement with the Family Review Network I was recently given the opportunity to sample a handmade candle from Candles By Victoria. I promptly received a carefully wrapped package containing a 9oz Country Jar Candle. The scent that I received from Victoria (yes, there really is a Victoria) was Butter Rum Crunch. While this particular scent wasn’t one that I would have chosen for myself, it was in no way unpleasant. The Butter Rum Crunch scent reminded me of a cozy drink on a crisp autumn day. It was actually a good thing that Victoria picked out a scent for me because otherwise I would still be sitting at my computer trying to make a decision over which one of the 500+ scents to choose from!
The first feature I noticed about my candle (and in my opinion what sets it apart from other candles) was it’s powerful scent. The explanation for this is that each candle from Candles By Victoria is triple scented using 100% pure fragrance oils. I left the lid off of my candle jar overnight and the fragrance had permeated throughout my entire house by the next morning without even lighting the candle! This phenomenon (referred to as “scent throw”) is explained as such on the website:
What does Scent Throw mean?
There are two terms when talking about “scent throw”. The first is “cold throw”, this is how the candle smells before it is lit, the first whiff you get of the candle when you open the lid. The second term is “hot throw”, this means how the candle smells when it is lit, the radius of a candle’s scent, i.e. the number of feet you can be away from a candle and still be able to smell it.
Many of the candles on the market today have a throw of 5 feet at the very best, I’m sure many of you have had your head practically inside a candle before and still couldn’t smell it, we have all been there. With Candles By Victoria Candles, our throw is profound, and results from the liquefaction of at least one-half-inch of wax, (better known as a “melt pool”) from edge to edge that releases as many scent molecules as possible into the air of the a room in which the candle is being burned. For all of our candles, that means that if you light up an candle in the kitchen, you will more then likely be able to smell that candle when you walk in the front door.
I feel comfortable recommending Candles By Victoria based on the craftsmanship and quality of my recent sample.
