There are a lot of candle companies out there. Sometimes it’s hard to tell which ones are worth spending the money on and which ones aren’t. What makes one candle company stand out from the crowd.

I love candles. There are certain things I look for in a candle. I generally prefer soy wax. I make my own candles and choose soy wax over other wax blends. It makes a cleaner burn (less soot). I want it to smell good without being so strong it gives me a headache and not be so weak I don’t even realize it has a scent. Third, I like variety. Sure vanilla and lavender are nice but every now and then I want to smell chai tea or champagne. Just sayin’.

Old Factory Candles are the candle type that I look for. They are made of natural soy wax, have some unique scents, hand poured in the USA, and come in fun themed gift sets that are perfect for gift giving.

As you can see, I chose the Winter Wonderland gift set to review. The Winter Wonderland gift set included: Hot Cocoa, Roasted Chestnut, and First Snow. I tend to lean towards fresh scents and bakery scents in the winter so this definitely fit the bill. Each candle is 2 oz. There are no color to the candles, they’re all white. I lit the hot cocoa candle first. After being lit for about 20 minutes the scent of chocolate started creeping across the kitchen and gradually into the dining room. After burning for an hour, the scent followed me up the steps. Seriously I could smell it upstairs!

The next day I tried the roasted chestnut scent. In the jar it had a woodsy scent. You could smell the nutty scent, a little fresh, sort of reminded me of being in the woods on a rainy day. I hoped that scent would carry as it was lit as well. This one took a little longer for the scent to creep it’s way through the house. BUT of all three of the scents, this one was probably my favorite.

Whether I had the candles burning for 30 minutes or 2 hours they burned evenly and clean. These are high quality candles. Old Factory Candle Gift Sets are available on Amazon. You can choose from a number of different scent themes. I chose the Winter Wonderland gift set because I wanted a holiday set but I wanted something different than your normal peppermint and Christmas tree. If you’d rather that, they do have a Happy Holidays gift set with those scents in it. I was torn, there was another set I really wanted. The Romance gift set had rose petals, champagne, and dark chocolate scents. Sounded like heaven to me. I’ll admit, the “high as a kite” set actually intrigued me because it was so different. Ended up venturing the way of the holiday scents though. I’m not disappointed, nope, I just have more things added to my Amazon wish list, that’s all.
