I am a candle junkie, I have tried every brand of candles ever made, twice. I am forever in search of the strongest smelling candle, I want to light my candle and have my neighbors smell it:) Of course the candle has to smell amazing, no fake chemically vanilla junk or strawberry that smells like mens cheap cologne.
I recently found the mother of all candles. Votivo Aromatic Candles. One Votivo candle made my entire house smell delicious, after maybe 5 minutes of burning... I could smell it in every room, strongly! The particular candle that I fell madly in love with is their Vanilla Grapefruit. It is the most amazingly realistic vanilla I have ever smelled and the hint of grapefruit makes it refreshing and not sickeningly sweet. I bought my votivo candles online on a discount candle website, for $20. I have seen votivo Candles in stores for upwards of $25. Since Votivo Candles are pricey that is why it is so important that they smell strong. Votivo candles burn 50-60 hours, so you will get your moneys worth. I usually have a few innexpensive unscented candles going in every room for looks and one expensive one for scent. Votivo Aromatic Candles make amazing gifts, they come in perfectly adorable boxes that look expensive and stylish.
