I ordered the sampler pack so that I could figure out which of the available scents I preferred before ordering, and for that matter to determine whether I even wanted to order, the larger size candles, and I'm so glad that I did!First, I have to say that I was *astonished* at how long each sample candle lasts! Each candle is about the diameter of the bottom of a vente-sized Starbucks cup (I am desperately trying to come up with a comparison here that will mean something to the most people) - they are about 2 1/2 inches in diameter, about 1 inch high (the container) and 3/4s of an inch high (the candle). I had not expected each sample to burn for very long, but in fact they burn for *hours*.The containers are a strong, rigid plastic.AND!... they continue to emit a pleasing scent (the ones that smell good at least, more on that below) for the duration of their being lit!And speaking of those scents, here is a list of all of the scents that are included (not sure why Pet House does not include this in the listing!), along with my thoughts about each scent:Lavender and Green Tea - this smells lovelySunwashed Cotton - a fresh, light scentFresh Citrus - citrusy (duh), not sharp, kind of sweet, not badLilac Garden - I love the smell of lilac, this is a very pretty scentEvergreen Forest - I also love the smell of evergreen, however this one smells too artificial to mePumpkin Spice - basically smells like cinnamon, not like your favourite PSL from SBMango Peach - this actually smells pretty much like mango with a side of peach; a bit too strong on the mango for meMandarin Sage - smells like a Glade air freshener; if you didn't know what it was supposed to be, you might wonder "what the heck is that scent supposed to be?"Piña Colada - with apologies to Rupert Holmes, o/` o/` if you like Piña Coladas, you'll be disappointed in this one o/` o/`Vanilla Creme Brulee - should have made me salivate; didn't - has a sharp smell to it that does not belong in a dessertOf all of the scents, I will order the full-sized candles in Lavender/Green Tea, and Lilac Garden. I will never order Mandarin Sage, Evergreen Forest, Piña Colada, or Vanilla Creme Brulee. If they were out of my first choices, I *would* then order Sunwashed Cotton or Fresh Citrus.
