The Candle Charisma 72-count set is a high-volume solution designed primarily for aesthetic consistency at large events like weddings or holiday dinners. Each votive is engineered with high-melt-point paraffin wax and 100% lead-free cotton wicks. The 1.5-inch size is a precise fit for standard glass votive holders, which are necessary to contain the wax as it liquefies.
Specifications show a 3% citronella oil concentration, which provides a clean "citrus-soap" scent. This is a lighter fragrance profile than what is found in industrial torches, making it more suitable for dining environments. While a 10-hour burn is cited, real-world settings with ambient airflow may result in about 30% of the wax remaining on the walls of the holder, so organizers should plan for roughly 4 to 7 hours of peak performance.
To maintain build quality and usability, these should be stored in a cool place, as the wax can begin to soften if temperatures exceed 100°F. The 72-count density is mathematically advantageous for those needing to stage high-volume events with uniform lighting.
These wicks are optimized for indoor stability; for outdoor patio use, they are best placed in deep holders to protect the flame from minor drafts. They provide a cost-effective way to achieve wide-area coverage with a light, pleasant scent.
For a smaller set of tea lights that are easier to use without separate holders, the 12-pack of Deybby tea lights is a more portable option.
