The good news - Incensorial is back this season! (I know a few of you, like me, have lamented its disappearance.)

The bad news - no Broken Rosary 👎 I'm glad I hoarded a couple from last year.

The other holiday candles sound terrible; I will be stocking up on Incensorial but that's about it.

We now continue with our regular programming (in which Boy Smells 2.0 continues to be a huge disappointment).

FYI Trudon is automatically giving samples of one of their new holiday candle with every purchase. I recently posted about my bf’s first Trudon purchase for me, and I went back and picked up Spella and saw that it was auto added. Will let you know how it smells!

Description: Cabinet des miroirs features notes of amber, iris absolute, and cedarwood. An amber-woody accord, transports one to an 18th-century boudoir, a space of elegant richness where ladies would retreat or entertain in the utmost intimacy animate by silk reflections and other indulgences.

Edit: Spelling.

Hold onto your hats, fellow international candle addicts: Lemuria is now shipping to Canada, the UK and Australia!!

I ordered from Dani when I had family in the US, and they brought the candles back. I can attest that her scents are unlike anything I've found in the UK - they're atmospheric, original and rooted in the wide-open landscapes of the US. I'm super excited she's shipping internationally now.

For shipping to the UK, VAT is included, so I'm guessing there would be no additional charges at the doorstep. Diptyque is my yardstick for the cost of a candle. I played with different order sizes, and an order of 2 or 4 comes to around £14 more than a Diptyque (3 was a strange blip on the shipping cost/candle). 5 or 6 brings you to around £11 more than a Diptyque.

To me, this seems a worthwhile premium for a much better burn, true originality, and possibly a slightly better burn time per candle. And supporting an artisanal business in the process!

Plus $25 off $150.

And 10% off on Rakuten.

I ordered my first Lafco Absolute (Forest Oakmoss, influenced by y'all) w/25% off.

For my $25 off $150, got my first Acqua Di Palma.

Ngl, the extra Rakuten discount did me in.

This might be super specific lol, but I’m obsessed with the smell of Aveda Pure Abundance shampoo and I would LOVE to find a candle that smells similar 😭

Notes I found for Pure Abundance: jasmine, peppermint, palmarosa, ylang-ylang and other botanical/plant essences.

The scent is fresh, clean, herbal/spa-like and slightly woody to me. Does anyone know a candle with a similar scent? Any brand is fine!

Thank you!! 🕯️🤍
