F.A. Dumont 2" x 7" Christmas Advent Candles - Set of 5 candles

Lovely candles which burn very smoothly and last several hours.

Long lasting

Ideal size for advent wreath, long lasting as well. Excellent value. We were really pleased & would certainly recommend them

These are ok, not cheap but not expensive either. They are compressed crushed wax dipped with colour. They drip a lot and don’t drop them as they will break - I had to do a repair job on 2 of ours this year as I hadn’t stuck them well on the candle sticks.

We began to use these candles today on Advent Sunday.They are perfect for our Advent countdown, which, due to lockdown, is happening at home on Zoom. They are solid and burn well and will definitely last the whole of the season. Can't fault them.

Unfortunately one of the candles was broken on delivery. This also spoilt the nice finish of the other two purple candles by getting lots of white wax on them (I didn’t realise they were only coated with coloured wax and white inside). Pink and white candles were individually wrapped, so not affected, but now it’s not a full set, which was the whole point. I know these things happen, but perhaps could be packaged better?

Wonderful Advent candles. Only lit one so far (1st week of Advent) but it burns well. Lovely colours and good quality. Just wish I knew whether or not these contain stearic acid which often comes from animal fat.

I’ve been buying these candles for years, for my Advent wreath at home, as Advent is an important season for me. For the past couple of years the quality of the candles has been disappointing. I light the appropriate candles each week for a very short while, then want to enjoy them all during Christmas Day. Yesterday this was the result after just one hour! I was so disappointed. FA Dumont, you need to change your supplier as a matter of urgency. I gave it one more year, but that will be it I’m afraid, and I don’t know where to go to get better ones.
