DREW Candles - Love 'em!
Jan 31 '00 (Updated Apr 21 '01)
The Bottom Line Drew Candles are top quality - by any measure I would use, to evaluate scented candles - longevity, scent, variety available, even the lovely colors in this company's product line.
I have loved scented candles as long as I can remember. Potpourri is too strong; sprays (like bayberry, cinnamon, floral, etc), don't last. Yet there is still something "homey" about my surroundings being uplifting to all of my senses......not just sight.
I even used to simmer plain old McCormick's cinnamon in a small pan on the back of my stove, years ago. This was before the days of potpourri burners, both electric and candle-lit. I was reminded of this when I visited my daughter near Detroit for Thanksgiving. Sure enough, there was a small frying pan, with cinnamon (and cloves), gently bubbling away on a burner.
But my biggest complaint with any candles I've purchased over the years, no matter what the price, is that the fragrance really doesn't last long enough. I end up just smelling burning wax after 30-60 minutes.
I received an on-line offer last Fall, for a free "votive-size" Drew candle, to introduce me to them.....scent of my choice. I chose a nice holiday fragrance. These candles do not compare with ANY I've ever used, no matter what I've paid for them. The lovely aroma lasts as long as the candle is lit, which may be hours. They are absolutely lovely.
Although the cost is a little more, they're definitely worth the extra dollar or two. The fragrance selection, and longevity of Drew Candles is top-of-the-line, and I've tried every brand, from chi-chi gift shops to Supermarket generics. I would definitely recommend this brand to all scented-candle lovers. Their web-site is http://www.drewcandle.com/
