I've never used soy candles before getting Heidi's. Years ago, when I lived in Arizona, I got hooked on Yankee Candles at first, then Party Lite, and then finally Gold Canyon Candles. Gold Canyon are the best smelling, as far as one candle gets the job done. I didn't like Yankdee because they smoked too much, leaving the jars all black and the walls had soot marks. Party Lite was too expensive for the amount you got. Gold Canyon had the most scent and does pretty good in the smoke department as long as you trim the wicks.
So you can see, I have a candle history. If you ever come to my Cave, there are over 20 candles lit on a Friday night. Mostly candles from local stores - just for looks, not scent because they don't smell know matter what they say. I've heard of soy candles but never bought one before, so I was excited to try one through my trade.
I got White Tea & (you guessed it!) Ginger and Brown Sugar & Fig. They both smell VERY yummy. They come in a plain tin and are white wax - goes with any decor. I believe the tins are 4 oz. and have a single wick. They burn very cleanly - no smoke or soot marks anywhere. I had one burning in a rather large room so the scent dissipated - not as strong as Gold Canyon. I will try it again in my bathroom and see how it does there. I love to smell the scent of the candle while it's burning, so I'm hoping that a smaller room will hold the scent better, because it is heavenly when sniffed in the tin.
