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.

Tocca Candela - Violette














The 10.6oz candle provides 60 hours of burn time. Springtime in Paris was the inspiration for this sweet scented candle.  It has notes of African violet, black currant, and cashmere musk. The candle is house in a white glass with delicate gold-screening. The hand poured wax candle has a soft delicate scent. I love the candle but sadly I would not be purchasing again unless its 50% off as the candle doesn't burn evenly and once it is extinguished the scent dissipated in the air.

Isaac Mizrahi Candle - Midnight Orchid





The midnight blue frosted glass houses a sweet scented floral candle.  I also love the cute linen gold label, it was a lovely touch. The hand poured wax has a burn time of 35 hours. It leaves the house softly scented and has soft powdery scent. I found this candle online for around $20 shipping and tax included. The candle lasted for a bit and was a nice treat lighting this before bedtime.

House of Harlow 1960 Saint James Tumbler Candle













When I saw this gorgeous white and gold tumbler candle by House of Harlow 1960, I knew I had to get it. The candle had notes of white, black and pink peppercorns with notes of Carnation Absolute. The 7.4oz candle had a sweet sophisticated scent that pulls you in and keeps you entranced.  The candles each last for 45 hours but unfortunately, the scent is very weak. I lit one after cleaning to refresh my kitchen but I couldn't smell it even after 4 hours  unless I wentthiscloseto the candle. On the plus side, the package is gorgeous and the tumbler can be reused.

Old Factory Candle - Man Cave Gift Set













I have always been a big fan of soy candles. So, I was super excited when I had gotten the opportunity to try these soy candles. All the gift sets are specially curated and has three different scents that come in 2 oz glass containers. The labels are super cute and has an very old apothecary look. Each candle lasts around 20 hours and has a cotton wick. The candle works well in one small room but you can combine 2 candles for one large room. I am not what each scent smells like but my favorite was the straight razor which has a clean and fresh scent.  

Here are the links to all the available gift sets -

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.
