Celebrating 7 Years of Online Service This month at CBV we are celebrating our seventh year in business! Seven years ago Candles By Victoria was just a dream, I knew that I could make a better burning more fragrant candle then what I had been purchasing. It was frustrating to me to pay for a candle that left half the wax on the side of the jar and that I could not smell no matter how close I got to it. So I decided to put my money where my mouth was and seven years later here we are. Here at CBV we continue to strive everyday to make the best possible candle, to search for the strongest fragrances for those candles, and to offer friendly customer service, all at an affordable price. We also understand that even though we do our very best to satisfy everyone, sometimes things happen. If ever you receive anything from CBV that you are not completely satisfied with, contact us directly and we will work with you in every way possible to make you happy. I take my job and what I do very seriously, at CBV customer satisfaction is our number one goal. Let's have a sale...

FRAGRANCE LAMPS Beautiful Fragrance lamps, also known as effusion lamps or catalytic lamps, are the hottest new trend in home fragrance. Through the process of catalytic combustion, fragrance lamps burn a mixture of alcohol and essential fragrance oils disbursing wonderful aromas into the air. At the same time, fragrance lamps release compounds into the air that actually kill bacteria and purify the air. Following a two minute warm up period, fragrance lamps burn with no flame making them great for offices and places where burning a candle is prohibited. It typically takes about 30-45 minutes to fragrance an average size home for 4-6 hours. With every lamp purchased, we will send you a FREE 16 oz. bottle of fragrance oil. Fragrance lamps make a wonderful gift idea for your friends, family, co-workers, new home owners, smokers, pet owners, or sales promotions. It is the perfect gift for any occasion. Give the gift of sensational fragrance! How Fragrance Lamps Destroy Order and Bacteria: Fragrance lamps do more then just envelop your home with a wonderful fragrance. This 100-year-old process was originally created to purify the air and provide refreshing and therapeutic aromas. Fragrance lamps convert fragranced fuel into anions (negatively charged ions) and ozone via the catalyzing stone. An ozone molecule consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together to form a molecule (03). Ozone is a very closely related to 02, the most common form of oxygen which you breath. Ozone binds with the airborne particles and aromas, eliminating them from your home. What you get: You get this beauitful amber glass fragrance lamp, 1 pound of fragrance, funnel, stone wick, heavy decorative gold metal crown, cut off cap, and instructions, all packaged in a beautiful, durable gift box.
