5 of 5 stars. Support your local kick-ass candle shop! I'd don't mind paying a few extra bucks for Waxman goods. 1) candles smell great (but not too strong)

5 of 5 stars. Waxman's candles are the best. The fragrances are better than any other candles I've tried. They don't smell as artificial as others.

Love this place

I love Waxman Candles. They have great scents, good customer service, really cool holders, and they make everything on-site. Great for gifts, from funky to conservative.
