From what we've found, the wax quality in Hosley's Set of 72 Unscented Ivory Votive Candles is pretty solid, as long as you're using them in the right way. They're made to fit into votive holders, which help keep the melted wax contained as they burn. That's key to getting the manufacturer’s promised 10-hour burn time.

The candles are crafted to burn cleanly and consistently, minimizing soot and smoke—again, as long as you've got them in suitable holders. These holders not only keep the candles supported but make sure the wax melts properly.

Just a heads up, though, these are definitely not meant for taper or pillar candle holders. They're about 1.5 inches in diameter and 1.25 inches high, so you'd really want to stick with votive holders that match those dimensions. Using the wrong kind of holder could mess with the wax performance and how long they last.

In our research, we saw that people often stress the importance of using the right holders. If you're not sticking to this, it might change the way the wax melts and influences how well the candle burns.

So, if you're after longer-lasting or differently shaped candles, it might be worth considering alternatives made for those specific needs.

But if you're just looking for some nice votive candles, Hosley's should do the trick, as long as they’re set up just right.

The Hosley's Set of 72 Unscented Ivory Votive Candles is described by the manufacturer as unscented, which means they shouldn't have any added fragrances. However, whether they're truly 'unscented' can be a bit subjective since people have varying levels of sensitivity to smells.

From what we've gathered, these candles are a popular choice for events and home decor where you don't want any overpowering scents. Feedback often mentions that they blend into different settings without adding any noticeable fragrance, which suggests they meet most people's expectations for being subtle or scentless.

Now, about the burn time—the manufacturer says they can last up to 10 hours, but that's not always the case according to some experiences. People have noted that if the candles fit snugly in their holders, they can sometimes burn longer than what's advertised.

But if they're a bit loose, they might only last around 5 to 7 hours because of wax overflow or other issues.

Things like drafts in the room can also affect burn time, so using a good holder and keeping the environment in check might help them last longer and burn more evenly.

While there are mixed results about how long these candles burn, they're generally appreciated for their quality and price, especially since they can be used for all sorts of decorating purposes.

If you're someone who's especially sensitive to scents or needs a completely scent-free candle, it might be wise to try a smaller amount first to be sure they meet your needs.

Overall, they seem to be quite versatile and functional if you use them according to best practices.

Hosley's Set of 72 Unscented Ivory Votive Candles is said by the manufacturer to burn for up to 10 hours. However, results can really vary. From what we've found, several things can affect how long they actually last.

The manufacturer notes that to get the most burn time, you should use properly fitting votive holders. This can help the candles burn more efficiently by keeping airflow to a minimum. Some folks have managed to hit that 10-hour mark when using snug holders.

That said, others have experienced burn times between 5 and 7 hours. This seems to depend on factors like the type of holder, the room conditions, and how well you maintain the candle.

Keeping the wick trimmed to about 1/8 inch can make a big difference in ensuring an even burn and avoiding problems like too high of a flame or uneven melting.

It's also a good idea not to burn the candles for more than four hours at a stretch. This helps maintain their shape and extend their overall life.

So, while the advertised 10-hour burn time is possible, it takes a bit of effort and some ideal conditions to reach it.
