Blogmas #2 - Old Factory Candles "Happy Holidays" Set Review

Hey Beauty Bees,

I received the Happy Holiday set. These are some amazing candles. Although they are a smaller size, they filled up my entire apartment with there amazing scents. I was very impressed with the clean burning time of over 20 hours and that the wicks self trim themselves. I was also liking the formula of the candles because they did not give off alot of smoke that some candles tend to. The only down side was that the jars are pretty small and I just wish they could have been a bit bigger so that they could have lasted longer.

Gingerbread - This was my favorite of the three. It smelt just like a cookie and every time I burned it, I just wanted to bake. The sweet scent really got me into the Christmas mood since I always do alot baking during this time and Gingerbread men are one of the cookies I make.

Christmas Tree - This was Chris's favorite candle of the set. I usually am not a big fan of woodsy type scents but this one in particular has a really nice subtle Christmas Tree scent. It smelt like when you get a real Christmas tree and those few days later after the really strong pine scent calms down a little. I had just been finishing off my "Vineyard" candle from Yankee Candle when Chris lit this one and the mix was incredible. These two scents work so amazing together and we only used them together until they were both finished off.

Candy Cane - This scent was alright for me. It definitely smelt exactly like a candy cane but I found it to be extremely sugary and sweet smelling. If I could have found another scent to pair with it, I probably would have liked it more. I could even just leave the top off of this one and after a little while the room started to smell like the tasty treat.

These sets would make a great gift for loved ones especially ones who like candles or home decor.
