I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A HUGE YANKEE CANDLE FAN; HOWEVER, A FRIEND RECOMMENDED I TRY SHORTIE'S CANDLES TO SEE HOW THEY COMPARE. I HAVE ALREADY PLACED TWO ORDERS WITH SHORTIE'S. I HAVE BEEN BUYING THE SMALLER JARS JUST TO TRY THE DIFFERENT SCENTS. I MUST SAY THAT I AM MORE THAN PLESANTLY SURPRISED BY THE WONDERFUL SCENTS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED! THE PRICES ARE SO REASONABLE, NOT TO MENTION THE SHIPPING! THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING ON SALE EVERYTIME YOU COME TO THE SITE, SO THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW TO TRY AT A CHEAPER PRICE! THE SCENT QUALITY IS PHENOMENAL AND THE CANDLES BURN CLEANLY AND EVENLY, NO BLACK SOOT AT ALL, AS LONG AS YOU KEEP YOUR WICKS TRIMMED AS YOU SHOULD. IF YOU ARE A YANKEE CANDLE PERSON, LIKE ME, GIVE SHORTIES A TRY, YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED IN THE LEAST BIT, BESIDES, YOU WILL SAVE A TON OF MONEY. THESE MAKE GREAT GIFTS FOR FAMILY, TEACHERS AND FRIENDS, SO STOCK UP! THANKS FOR OFERRING A GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO THE EXPENSIVE CANDLE COMPANIES OUT THERE! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! I'LL BE BACK AGAIN AND AGAIN!

I received my first order a few weeks ago. I just love the Chocolate Fudge Brownie candle. It smells for hours even after I've blown it out. :)
