 Your search is over - this one actually smells when lit. Jan 20, 2005
By West End Girl
"West End Girl"
I 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.

i have dirt under my fingernails . . . Apr 26, 2005
By ryan J. torgeson
i am a working joe, a blue-collared tool slinger. i don't care much for candles but i like to keep a nice place. i bought one of these candles one day on a whim (red currant, of course) and . . . ooohh, it lured me in . . . that scent. it was divine. not too strong though. i am a very scent oriented person and can barely stand the smell of anything but soap on another person. this candle was like that - not perfume-ey but subtle, like a freshly showered person. so, i bought a few more. my sister was over after that and fell in love with it and bought a bunch as well. i gave one as a gift to my lady and she gushed at my choice of gift. she says that she always thinks of me when she smells it. listen, if i'm going to be remembered in a smell, well, this one makes me proud.
i have just recently branched out to try the "clean white crisp" and "soku lime" scents and let me tell you, they do not disappoint.
these candles must be made extremely well because they do not lose their aroma and they burn for an incredibly long time. the packaging is super 'pottery barn' too.
i dunno. i really dig these candles and now that i have found them for less online i will indulge myself in an everlasting supply.
god, now i love candles. (don't you dare let this leak)

Worth every penny Apr 15, 2005
By D. Hoskins
"bluestocking"
These candles are a tad on the expensive side, but trust me, they are worth every penny. The Red Currant is fabulous! Light one up and your house will smell divine. It has just the right amount of scent and the red currant fragrance is loved by all. It smells delicious, expensive, intriguing...I give them as gifts and I splurge and keep several on hand so I never run out. They also make a Red Currant room spray, which is good but fades quickly, and they make Red Currant incense sticks, which are way more intense but not as lovely to burn. These candles are truly the best.

the best aroma of any candle Jul 25, 2006
By Harriet G. Ross
Deep Clover by Votiva is the nicest aroma in any candle that I have sampled. It is not over-powering and yet it does the job. It is a warm, sensual fragrance.
