 I chose to review the gift set, "Fresh & Clean."  I wanted something that would be appropriate anywhere in my tiny apartment throughout the year.  This collection has definitely not disappointed me.  I have thoroughly enjoyed these candles while sitting at my desk reading and writing for my second round of comprehensive exams, blogging, and generally hanging out on the internets. :-)

When I pulled these candles out of the box, I'll admit that they were a bit smaller than I anticipated.  I guess I'm still getting used to what 2 oz. really looks like.  The lids fit well, and the labels are very well attached (no worries about them flaking off the steam from a hot bath!).  They have a nice weight, and the glass is sturdy.  (They already took a tumble, unlit, and were fine!)

Before burning them, I smelled them individually.  I was really surprised about how much I enjoyed each of them individually.  When I ordered this collection, I was a bit skeptical about Lemongrass, since lemon scents are not usually my favorite.  However, I was very pleasantly surprised!  They are all very lovely scents.

Lemongrass - clean lemon scent with a hint of sweet.

Olive Blossom - a delicate floral scent that reminds of walking through a flower garden.

Fresh Linen - a crisp scent that reminds me of that fresh out of the bath smell.

They burn very cleanly, and are the perfect size for any space.  I recommend burning the set together.  When I sampled the olive blossom solo, I really couldn't smell it.  However, burning all three together creates a lovely and dynamic scent that has quite a throw distance! This gift set definitely lives up to its name, Fresh & Clean!

I must say that as a graduate student on a tight budget, $25 for a candle gift set is definitely a splurge.  However, if you are in search for a gift for yourself or someone else, these are worth the cost.  I will be enjoying this set for quite some time while studying, relaxing, and entertaining friends!
