Votivo No. 55TR Rush of Rose Candle













I got this candle as a present. I never been much of a rose scented person as it usually reminds me of my grandma. This soft powdery scent smells like 30 dozen roses are filling the room. The scent is very light and feminine. The classic Damascus Rose scented candle was perfect scent for bath time or snuggling into a blanket and reading a book. The candle has an estimate burn time of 30-40 hours but I found it to be less than that. They recommend lighting the candle for 2 hours at a time then let it cool prior to re-lighting. The metal tin does hot so I use a plate as a coaster.  A nice scent as a present, but I prefer the Votivo Icy Blue Pine Candle  instead.

Votivo Icy Blue Pine Candle







I had gotten this around the holiday time. I can see why they made this especially for the holiday season. One whiff is the sweet scented candle, you are immediately transported to Winterland surrounded by pine that is slightly giving in the weight of soft white snow. I usually like sweet fruity scents or occasionally mint or relaxing scents. At first, I thought I would hate this scent and now I find myself in the middle of October feverishly looking where I can purchase another can while holding the remnants of what is left.  The small tin has a surprisingly 30 to 40 hours burn time and is hand made with soy wax in the US. While I count down the days for my next fix [and huge stock up], I will have to settle to sniffing the empty tin.
