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.

You'll smell her from the front door.

Don't take my word for it.

I love these candles!

"They smell delicious and create such a lovely, relaxing ambiance. I met the founder too, just as warm and wonderful as the candles themselves."

Six Gertie tealight minis

Six first dates $22.

You shouldn't have to buy a whole candle
to find out you don't like her.
So pick any six of the sixteen and I'll pour them fresh.

Maxi tealights, 12 to 15 hours each.
Enough to know which one you'd live with. Not enough to fill a room, that's what the big ones are for.

Pick your six

Which of the sixteen is coming home.
