I'm a candle aficionado, ha.... I do purchase a lot of candles and prefer quality ones. Lavender is my absolute favorite, and have tried many. However, I have to say this aromatic Lavender candle by LAB, is the BEST I've ever tried. The scent, the longevity, and even when it burns down to the bottom (as most will emit black smoke) this candle is still wonderful. The sad story is, I can't find it, nor LAB is not reproducing it, it's been sold out on their website for quite a long, long time. :(
