Candle Lust

Left to right: Slatkin & Co candles in Homemade Cookies and Frosted Cupcake (from Bath and Body Works) and Ecoya candle in Wild Frangipani

 

I loves me some luxury scented candles. I mean, I REALLY love them. If I had a load of money and enough room, I'd fill my house with them. Recently, I came into possession of three awesome candles:

First up are the two candles from Bath and Body Works; Homemade Cookies and Frosted Cupcake. Sent to me by my awesome friend Alyssa (as B&BW doesn't ship outside the US), these candles are perfect for someone who loves baking (like me). Both candles smell like yummy baked goods, all sweet, creamy and vanilla-like. And after browsing the selection of other candles on the site, I have decided that I need to make a trip to America and buy all the other candles I like the sound of.

The other candle is Wild Frangipani from the Australian/Kiwi brand Ecoya. I had a hard time picking which scent I wanted, as I have four favourites: Wild Frangipani, Vanilla Bean, French Pear and Sweetpea and Jasmine. I ended up picking Wild Frangipani, as it's a lovely, summery, tropical scent, so it's perfect for the current season (spring/summer). Had it been Autumn, I probably would have picked the warmer French Pear. The particular candle I purchased comes in a beautful jar with a wax seal on it, and it would look lovely sitting on a coffee table.
