Review on Experience The Serenity Of Votprof 30'S 100% Pure Beeswax Taper Candles - Dripless, Smokeless, And Non-Toxic by Kendrick Dooley

I have bought and used beeswax candles for many years now on a regular basis, and I know very well how beeswax candles should smell in storage and when burned. Some are mild, some are stronger, but all smell like . . . well, beeswax. These candles, in contrast to the usual pleasant aroma of beeswax candles, stank of some type of petroleum fuel or chemicals. Either they were stored near such fuel or chemicals in shipment and absorbed the odors, or it spilled on them at some point, or they are not 100% beeswax but have paraffin or other petroleum distillates in them. I kept them for over two years, out of curiosity, to see if the odor would eventually disappear. It never did. They still smelled, that is reeked, enough that I did not burn them. From reading other reviews, I see that some other buyers have gotten shipments of these candles that had the same odor problem. That is why I finally decided to write this review, since my experience was not isolated. Evidently, most people are very happy with these candles. I hope that the sellers can find out what is going on with the shipments that are problematic and can correct the problem.
