Soy or Parrafin blend, doesn't matter.  Many people say to me after I've lit it 2 or 3 times it doesn't smell anymore.  That because people CHEAT!  The average wax used in candlemaking requires 2 days to make one candle.  You pour it, save a little of the batch, overnight the middle sinks down around the wick and the next day it needs to be re-poured.  This is when the cheating can occur.  The "money" part of the candle is the scent oil.  Very expensive, this is where some candle makers are trying to save a nickle and they only put the scent oil into the re-pour.  Obviosly it requires much less to fill a small gulley rather than a whole container.  So buyer beware!  There is nothing like a homemade candle and most of us put out an awesome product that cannot be compared with anything you may have purchased in an over the counter store.   If your buying on-line, check out reviews.  If your buying local, find out word of mouth reviews.  Or simply purchase an inexpensive amount, and test burn it yourself.  Then if you love the way it does not tunnel, blacken, or drown the flame, you have found your candle for life.  You will probably go back to that same supplier time n time again.  Because there is no disputing Quality!

                               Happy bidding, & Burning!
