Latest cheap candle discovery: Soyology Venus

Soyology Venus candle

Soyology candles are made from a blend of soy wax, and I think soy is supposed to be better for you, although I have no idea why. My primary interest in Soyology is the price: $12 for an 8 oz jar with a lid. Perfect!

Venus is described as an “intoxicating blend of a true Mediterranean orange blossom softened by subtle citrus notes”. It is mostly orange blossom, and just the way I like it: dry, slightly bitter, just a touch of citrus. The throw is excellent, and it burns clean.

Available at scentsandsprays or directly from soyology.

    I've been stalking those candles online for a while, wondering if I should give them a shot. Maybe I will now. Oh, and soy wax is supposed to burn at a lower temperature and give off less soot, which leaves your curtains (and your lungs) a little cleaner.

    Thanks for the clarification on soy wax, T, I am clueless about candles.

    I have heard that the Soyology Chai is wonderful, and hope to try that next.
