I had to buy my xmas candles, because I did not have time to do my own, I don't lite them it's just for show. So I go shopping in this very nice little boutique and found 2 beautiful red pillar, they smell amazing but when I got home I took the plastic off and the wick came out, I left them on the counter overnight and this morning they had leak red on the counter. WOW How can they sell this kind of candles?? and they were not cheap!!!! Just tough I would share this with you
