Review & Giveaway: Shoal Creek Candle

I'm a bit of a candle nut. Ever since I turned thirteen I've been fascinated with all the different scents there are. My sense of smell is really good and I pick out a candle and tell you what scent it is within seconds. When Shoal Creek Candles agreed to allow me to review one of their candles, the only problem I saw with this was picking out the perfect scent. After much deliberation, I narrowed it down to:

Fresh Linen
Pomegrante
Vanilla Lavender
Wildberry Scone
Christmas Splendor
Mulberry Spice
Sugar Cookies

I ended up deciding on the Wildberry Scone and I'm really glad I did. It smells beautiful. I can't think of another word to describe it. It's simply beautiful. I opened the jar and sat the candle near my bed and my whole bedroom smells wonderful. It's not at all over powering, it's a soft and clear smell. For a full list of scents, go here. They have year round and seasonal scents. The half-pint jars cost $7 each and the melting cubes are $5 each.

Audrey over at Shoal Creek Candles has offered to give three of my readers one set of melting cubes each in the scent of their choice.
