The experience of opening my candle was amazing. The detail and love put into the packaging was pure perfection. Unfortunately, the hot throw of the candle almost seemed non existent. I.had extremely high hopes for this candle and I only burn it now for ambiance, next to a candle that throws out a stronger scent. I am not sure if the candle hadn't cured long enough or if this particular scent had not been tested long enough (or just a bad batch). Whatever the reason, I hope in the future it will be remedied. With that all being said, I believe this is just due to the growing pains of a new small business and I would possibly still try something again later in the future, because of the level of excellence in the packaging and my knowledge of how businesses get better with age and experience.
