I've used many different types of tea light candles over the past few years, and these are definitely amongst the best. They're fairly lightly fragranced but if you want a stronger scent, just light two or three of them and your whole room will smell lovely. But the main benefit is that the wicks are a good size and are properly positioned in the centre of the candle, so they don't bend against the metal holder and extinguish within a short time, but burn for the full 8 hours. 5 stars.
