Floating hearts - candle by Bell-A-Roma candles - review by Destri

These are very sweet little candles. They do not have a very strong fragrance, which I like. They do exactly what they were intended to do: float nicely on water and burn safely for about two to two and a half hours. They do not burn through but rather go out when they get low, and that is a nice touch as well. There is no dripping so you don't have to worry about wax in your bath or in your decorative bowl.

We started out by lighting a candle floating in a bowl of water, so we could see what it would do. I don't want to put anything in my bath unless I am sure it is going to be safe. After observing how nicely it burned, we progressed to bath time.

Obviously, if you are going to float candles in your bath, you don't get to add bubbles. But I will say that with the lights out (or dimmed), relaxing in the bath by candle light is very relaxing and sensual. You do have to watch that you don't splash and put it out. Mostly, this whole thing just works if you are lounging. The candles also have a tendency to float to the side of the tub, so you sort of have to keep an eye on them. I think there may be something to be said for putting the candles on the edge of the tub and having bubbles instead. You could put them on the edge without worrying about wax getting on the tub. Of course, you still would have take care about splashing.

The other thing we did with these was to float one each in a small bowl of water with several placed around the bedroom. This was really nice too because the fire sort of reflected off the water and created a very nice ambiance. It was a very sensual experience for a slow, seductive love-making session.

I really like these candles. They do exactly what you want them to. I recommend them to anyone who wants to add a little sparkle.

I give these candles five stars.
