Desert Sonlight's candles are highly scented, hand poured in glass jars, with a modern soy/paraffin wax blend. The fragrance content of our candles is such that our candles are more than 'triple scented'. We maximize the fragrance content of our candles so that the scent of each candle will fill your room - and more! They stay strongly scented - even to the end of the burn at the bottom of the jar! If you are looking for a 'highly scented', 'richly scented', 'strongly scented' soy-type candle in a container, this is it: Desert Sonlight candles. We've been hand pouring the finest jar candles in over 50 fragrances, in three popular sizes, for over 20 years. (And our candles work great in warmers.)

What Makes a Quality Candle?
A quality wax; premium fragrance oils throughout the entire candle; a properly sized wick; resulting in a candle that burns all the wax - no tunneling and a strong fragrance! We test every candle fragrance to be sure it burns properly and that the fragrance is - and stays - strong and true.
We at Desert Sonlight use a "blend" of soy & paraffin waxes because a pure, 100% soy wax does not burn easily and does not "throw" or diffuse the fragrance well. The blend of soy and paraffin gives us the best of both worlds. Any candle labeled as "soy" must be at least (only) 51% soy wax as allowed by our industry standards. Only candles marked "100% Soy" are truly pure soy wax.

Cost-effective Jar Candles
You receive real value for your money with our strongly scented candles. Our candles come in 3 sizes, are are highly scented, burn all the wax, and burn cleanly to the bottom of the jar. The scents are accurate and remain strong to the end of the burn. And they do not 'change scent' during the burn. Our “Small” candle gives the most variety for the money; the “Large” candle gives the most wax volume/scent for the money. Our "Medium" candles are a good compromise between a larger amount of wax and a variety of smaller candles.
If you use a candle warmer, our candles fit securely on most warmers, and they work great. Our customers have reported that the Small candle can last 2 months or more on a warmer with regular use and is adequate to scent a small to medium office. If the candle is to be used only on a warmer, you may pull out the wicks to prevent them from being lit.

"Almost" Free Shipping!
|
On all orders over $80.
|
Dateline: March 2012
If your order totals over $80, we will ship it for "almost free" shipping charges. Let me explain..
Gas and fuel prices are going 'out the roof'. While many of us can cut back on driving, the delivery network cannot. The price of raw materials goes up (wax, boxes, jars, etc.); the cost of delivering these things goes up (UPS, trucks, etc.). And our costs to ship to you go up. We have good shipping rates for our business with UPS. But shipping costs (from UPS) have doubled and tripled over the last (very) few years.
We have held our shipping rates as long as possible and can no longer absorb the excessive costs we incur for shipping. And so, as of this week (March 5) we have updated - and redesigned - our rates.
We have decreased shipping charges on smaller orders - from 1 to 5 candles of various sizes in which the total cost of the product does not exceed $30. These smaller orders ship via Priority Mail for a flat or lower rate. And for these shipments, we have the minimum shipping charges.
As the size of the order increases, shipping charges increase with the shipment size (in dollars - hence weight). And, the shipping rates are adjusted for distance from us, as UPS charges increase with distance. (And with other factors we can't include.) Generally, the actual cost to ship will be (quite a bit) more than the shipping charges.
The "Almost Free" caveat is that above the $80 order point, shipping rates are reduced to a fixed fee (or surcharge) of $4 to $7 depending on distance from us. This is because bigger orders are heavier and cost (a lot) more to ship to distant destinations. And we can no longer absorb these higher shipping charges.
We're not happy about it as fuel costs directly affect the costs of everything.
We can (and do) ship to overseas addresses (including HI and AK) and to Canada. In these cases, extra postage will be required. After we receive your order, we will figure the best shipping method and the related charges, and email you with extra charges needed to complete the shipment. Shipping is via Postal Service Priority Mail or UPS Ground to Canada. Delivery time is usually about 5 to 10 days. And there may be extra customs or entry duty charges as well. (If you should wish to cancel your order before we ship it, we will refund your entire payment.)
We use the PayPal shopping cart system. Thanks for stopping by!
