Front Porch Candle Co. is my first experience with soy. Up until this point, I have always received palm wax. I had been wary of soy because I had read on many occasions that it doesn't hold as much scent oil as other types of wax. But when I got the June newsletter from Front Porch offering free shipping, I jumped at the chance to try it out.
Apperance:
All of the tarts I ordered (including the free samples) were in adorable shapes. My six pack was shaped like a scoop of ice cream with real sprinkles! One free sample was a round shape with an adorable willow (?) tree design. The second free sample came in the same ice cream shape, but with a bakery crust as well. All of them were super adorable.
Scents:
Watermelon Blast - This is absolutely wonderful! Very fruity and has AMAZING scent throw! So much for the idea of soy not having as much scent!
Raspberry Cookies - I've never been a fan of bakery scents, so when I saw this was included as a free sample, I wasn't too excited. But when I opened the bag to give it a sniff?? Woo hoo! This is great! It's a deep, creamy raspberry scent.
Hot Apple Pie - Again, I was not too excited for a bakery type scent, but yet again I was very impressed with this one! It smells so delicious and spicy. My only complaint is that melting this tart made staying on my diet REAAAALLY hard!! :)
Performance:
I mentioned it earlier, but I was thoroughly impressed with the scent throw from these. Another aspect that I'm in love with is that they are super easy to cut. I hate burning a whole tart at once, so I'm always cutting them in half. But with the palm wax, it's incredibly difficult and usually messy. These soy tarts cut like butter.
Overall Experience:
I really enjoyed my experience with Front Porch Candle Co. Their website is very easy to use and adorable to boot! I had some great customer service and shipping was very quick. This is a company that I can most certainly see myself ordering from again in the future.
