Mega Candles 8 pcs Citronella Scented 5 Inch x 5/8 Inch Taper Candle, Paraffin Wax Candles, Great for Indoor & Outdoor Use, Camping, Party Usage & More

I purchased these because I had some candlesticks that took tapers, that I wanted to put on an outside table and I figured it they are going to be outside, they might as well be citronella, plus the color went well with the sticks. I noted the following:They burn bright and fairly fast. I did not appreciate even a hint of citronella scent.Tapers outside will not stay lit if there is any breeze at all. If you really want citronella, you need a different type of candle that is not so susceptible to wind, and likely a different brand.

These are not your standard-sized tapered candles which I didn't realize until they arrived - think really big, giant birthday cake candles. Luckily, I had some antique candlesticks with a smaller diameter and made those work. But then it turns out that the burn time is probably less than 10 mins and they drip so fast that you quickly have a puddle of wax - actually more like a glob. These aren't worth the money and certainly not the time to clean up the mess as they melt.
