You bought a candle you can't smell.
This isn't one of those.
Let's be honest
Lit it. Sat there. Nothing.
You leaned over it to check it was still going. You told yourself it was subtle. Then you put it in the cupboard for a special occasion and never lit it again.
That candle wasn't subtle. It was $54.95 of wax.
Strong, or clean. You've been made to pick one.
The cheap one that actually fills a room is paraffin, and the fragrance in it is usually carrying phthalates. The clean one that costs $54.95 goes quiet the moment you light it. Natural wax doesn't give up its fragrance easily, so most brands settle for one or the other.
The strong one
Paraffin fills a room easily, which is why the cheap ones work. It's a petroleum by-product, and the fragrance in it usually carries phthalates.
The clean one
Natural wax, beautiful label, and silent once it's lit. Getting natural wax to actually fill a room takes work most brands skip.
Gertie is both.
Start with the it-girls.
Sixteen girls. Start with the ones who make an entrance.
