What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise The Floral Society's Parchment Dipped Tapers for their exceptional aesthetic and artisanal quality. The unique matte finish significantly elevates decor, making them perfect for special occasions. Reviewers consistently highlight the clean burn, noting the candles are virtually dripless and smokeless, justifying the premium cost for many. While the superior quality and visual impact are universally acknowledged, the high price point leads some consumers to reserve them strictly for luxury gifting or rare events rather than everyday use. Overall, these tapers are highly recommended as elegant decorative statements that deliver on superior burn performance.
Know before you buy
Yes, these tapers are specifically designed to be dripless. To maintain this performance, ensure they are placed in an upright, stable holder away from drafts or air vents that could cause uneven melting.
These tapers feature a standard 7/8-inch base, which is the universal size for most traditional taper candle holders. If your holder is slightly smaller, you can gently shave the base of the candle with a knife for a secure fit.
No, these are unscented candles. They are an excellent choice for dining tables or small spaces where you want the ambiance of candlelight without competing with the aroma of your meal or other home fragrances.
Each 12-inch taper provides approximately 12 hours of burn time. They burn at a rate of roughly one hour per inch, assuming they are kept away from direct air currents.
The 35-dip process ensures deep, rich color saturation throughout the wax rather than just a surface coating. This creates a more substantial, high-quality appearance that holds its color intensity as the candle burns down.
