I have come back to do another review.....having had another go at pouring hot water (thought it would crack, but it didn't) into the bottle and letting it stand for a while I've now managed to clear the bottle of the candle, thus leaving me with a lovely little bottle for small flowers. I am so relieved, as I hate leaving bad reviews! But, I speak as I find. I really thought I'd lost my second bottle. The first one, as I say, smashed and cut my finger, but that was my fault. Just wanted to set the record straight!! I have been a customer for several years, buying loads of presents for my friends on here and they have all been great and arrived well wrapped up. Thank you!
