Bolsius Ivory Pillar Candles – 2x3 Inches – 20 Pack Unscented – Premium European Quality – Dripless, Smokeless, and Clean Burning Household Candles – Perfect for Wedding, Party, Dinner, And Home Décor

UPDATE 2020-09-07: I used a couple of these during a recent power outage that lasted a few days. They do last a long time, per my original review, but they need to be *perfectly level* or the wax spills over the edge and you'll lose a lot of burn time as a result. Definitely put them in something to catch spilled wax in case that happens, and don't even think about carrying them around while there's melted wax built up at the top. Rating lowered to 4 stars.Original review:I got these as emergency candles for power outages. They seem decently made and have no scent.To estimate the total burn time, I put one in a lantern and let it burn for exactly 4 hours. I did not trim the wick, which was long enough to give off a good amount of light. In that time it only burned about 11% of the total volume, which puts the projected burn time at about 36 hours, rather than the 18 stated in the description (see measurements and calculations below). The attached picture shows the test candle, just after the 4 hour burn, next to a fresh candle.The lantern was level enough that a marble would stay put, and no wax leaked during the test. I haven't tested it, but I suspect the wax would spill over and waste a lot of candle if it was not level. As you can see in the picture, the hot wax was liquid almost to the very edge of the candle while it was burning.Candle measurements for test according to my ruler: height of the cone part at the top=10mm, full height including cone=92mm (yep, that's less than the 4 inches! I think they counted the wick, which is cheating in my book, but it burns so long I don't care), base diameter=45mm, remaining candle height after 4 hour burn=76mm. The total candle volume in cubic mm comes out to 135680 and the volume remaining after the burn is 120840. So 4 hours consumed about 11% of the candle, and if it kept burning at the same rate until it was gone it would last about 36 hours.

After doing a lot of research. I chose these based on comments of others and was VERY happy. They rock. I went back and ordered more from the company in other colors. I will continue to purchase these. They don't drip. Learn how to burn a candle the right way and it'll last for a long time. Do it wrong, and you screw yourself. The first burn is most important and keeping the wick at 1/4 inch.

Bought these for a wedding. Burnt for four hours and barely burnt down. Did not drip and stayed lit. Perfect ivory color. Came packaged well no damage. Bought several sizes of this brand. Great candles. would buy again

I am excited to use these for my wedding next month! Trimmed all wicks and pre burned them to get that special glow. Even when sitting near the AC vent - minimal smoking and no drips! Would definitely buy again!

For me to write a review for anything really never happens ...but for this product of Bolsius Ivory pillar candles I must. They are one of the BEST candles I’ve ever used ( I’ve used a lot candles many years & am picky)... there Ivory is a wonderful color ...they do’nt drip ( which is essential for me)...they carry a brilliant light when lit (much like natural bees wax candles) ..and their a slow burn which allows them many hours & hours of enjoyment. I just am so happy with this product ...if this size & color works for you..They are a MUST Have !!! I like them so much...my only fear is if they stop making them, because now I’m hooked.

Bought these for my 8 hour wedding and they never burnt out! Haven’t tried them for the full advertised time but it definitely seems like they would go that long. Completely neutral odor and low smoke, which is definitely a plus. I purchased more than I needed and am still enjoying them. A great low cost option for long burning candles.

I wish I didn't have to buy so many to get a decent price per candle, but they truly do not drip and that's important to me. I also am sensitive to perfumey candles, so I appreciate that they have no scent and don't trigger any allergy symptoms. Decent, simple pillar candle - nothing special, except that they are, thankfully, zero mess. They also don't burn down super quickly.

NOT DRIPLESS. You can see the wax that has built up at the base in the photo

Love it! Long lasting and no mess. Have reordered a few times.

The candles melt. I would not recommend them.

Great! Smell good and last long!

Long lasting candles

Did what they were bought for.
