 Votivo Candles Rock May 1, 2007
12 out of 15 found this review helpful
I have tried a ton of candles out there- and these are the BEST by far. They are well worth the $25 price tag. The scent throw is amazing and the fragrances are really unique. One candle can fragrance your entire home. I always get a ton of compliments whenever these are lit. They are heavily scented (in a good way) and burn for about 45-50 hours. I also appreciate the simple glass jar. The box makes a great presentation as well. If you can't tell, I think Votivo has it going on...
My favorites:
Red Currant: Lush, fruity berry with a tangy kick
Soku Lime: Pucker up baby, this one is fresh and zesty
Vanilla Grapefruit: Sweet and savory blend of sugared grapefuit
Teak: This one reminds me of my husband, warm and sultry
Wild Orchid: I'm not big on floarls, but this is a nice alternative- perfect for Summer
Creme Brulee: Rich and decadent vanilla swirled in brown sugar
Clean Crisp White: Smells like a warm fluffy freshly laundered towel
Rain: Spring all the way with plenty of ozone

I bought this for my wife for the holidays, it was a bit expensive for a candle but I believed that it would last a long time and burn uniformly. However, in our case, after about an hour the candle went out. The wick burned too quickly, becoming too small, and now the candle won't stay lit for more than a few minutes before it drowns in the wax. The return shipping will cost a lot, so we will just toss it out. Waste of money, don't buy one.
Your search is over - this one actually smells when lit. January 14, 2007

know you. You were me. Looking for what seemed to be a simple thing - a scented candle that ACTUALLY smells up the room when you light it. You've bought the cheap ones in the grocery store that sent out the weak scent of, well, grocery store. And some candles smell like spray room deodorizer which smells like what one would use in the toilet which then make you think of poop which is not at all what you were going for in the living room. So then you hit the expensive pretty versions - perhaps even in candle stores with cute waxy names. They are not candles, my friend. They are sculptures. Some fancy ones come with cute packaging and crispy dried flowers. This is when you lose your patience. I DO NOT WANT CRISPY DRIED FLOWERS. I WANT A CANDLE THAT PUMPS A GOOD SCENT ALL OVER A ROOM WHEN I LIGHT IT.
This is it. Votivo. You will walk into the room and that room will smell like the candle. The most universally loved scent is probably Red Currant. I also enjoy Rain. The little glass it comes in makes a cute vase after the candle is done. Plus, they make perfect last minute hostess gifts, as the box is very nice and expensive-looking.
So, Votivo isn't the cheapest candle in the world. They're still cheaper than buying a bunch of cheap candles that stink...weakly stink.
THE BEST CANDLE January 19, 2007

I HAVE USED MANY CANDLES BUT THE VOTIVO CANDLES ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT FROM ANY OTHER CANDLE IN THE MARKET. EVEN WITH OUT LIGHTING THEM, THEY WILL TREAT THE ROOM WITH THEIR GREAT SCENT, AND ONCE YOU LIGHT THEM THEY WILL BURN FOR THE LONGEST PERIOD YOU COULD IMAGINE. SIMPLY THE BEST.

When i got this candle i was very excited, but when i lit it, it seemed to make a scent that strongly smelled of fart. When i put it out, the fart smell went away.
