The Best Little Texas Candle Ever!

   One of my favorite simple pleasures is having a beautifully illuminated, warmly glowing candle gently scenting the air with fragrant aromas.  So when I discovered Triple Scented Candles, I couldn’t wait to give them a try!  Their candles are all hand- crafted using all-natural palm wax, and each one is custom made for you based on your choice of color, scent and size!
  I was sent two of their wonderfully aromatic candles, a 16 ounce Pine and an 8 ounce Vanilla Maple Pecan.  As soon as I opened the tape on the box, I had my first whiff of why they chose the name Triple Scented Candles!  The aroma coming from the box was delightful!  All of their candles are made from triple scented, handmade, natural crystallizing palm wax.  While many candles claim to be highly scented, the majority add only .5 to 1 ounce of scented oil per 16 ounces of wax.  Triple Scented Candles uses 2 to 2.5 ounces of pure fragrance oil to every 14 ounces of organic palm wax.  That is truly triple scented!



Why Palm Wax?
   Although candles are seen as beautiful, romantic and relaxing, many are composed of materials that emit toxins. It is becoming widely known that paraffin wax does not burn cleanly since it is actually a by product of petroleum.  It is also bleached and hardened using even more chemicals, all of which are released into the air you breath when you light that candle.  Even the materials used in some wicks include metal or lead which also release toxins when burned.  When you have a wood wick or a pure cotton wick, the flame will burn clean with no black flame, smoke or soot.  That is why many people prefer to use candles made from beeswax or palm wax, and wicks made of wood or pure cotton, all of which burn pure and clean.
   Palm Wax is an all-natural, renewable resource that comes from the oil palm tree in Southeast Asia.  Not only is it a sustainable resource, but it burns clean with virtually no soot since there are no additives required aside from fragrance and coloring. Palm wax also burns up to 50% longer than will paraffin wax, it burns more steadily, and it is smokeless.  It also resists melting in hot summer months, takes color well and holds fragrance very well for a longer period of time, allowing for a long lasting, rich-colored, highly scented candle which will burn to the very end leaving no waste.   Plus, once the candle is completely gone, you are left with a great glass jar that you can use for a multitude of things!

                 

Pine Triple Scented Candle
  This 16 ounce, outdoorsy-scented candle smells exactly line a forest of pine!  It is a beautiful green color, and you can see the sparkle from the crystallization of the palm wax.  It is in a clear glass jar with a screw-on metal lid, which allows you to see how the wax has a beautiful silvery hue, sort of like a marbled texture, due to the nature of the Palm wax and the technique they use to make the candles.  This particular candle came with a wood wick which not only lasts a long time, but burns bright and clean.  As soon as I opened the lid, the faint pine scent became as strong as though I were standing in the middle of a pine forest after a rainstorm.  Once lit, the wick burned with a large flame, and my home quickly filled with the incredibly fresh pine scent.  This scent is perfect for this time of the year!




Vanilla Maple Pecan Triple Scented Candle
  This incredibly delicious smelling 8 ounce candle comes in a clear glass Mason jar with a screw-on metal lid.  Delicious is the key word here, as that this candle is a fragrant mix of vanilla bean, maple syrup and pecans that makes your mouth water with the first whiff!  The wax is a warm, honey color, and also has that silvery cast due to the nature of the palm wax.  This candle has a pure cotton wick which burns clean, and once lit, the candle takes on a warm glow which makes it look as though it is lit from within!
