NPR: Savory Scents Candles

Morning Lovelies! I'm starting to feel a bit better today, although not enough to function all that well. Some improvement is certainly better than none though, so I'll take it!

Today I have a Non-Polish Related post! I know, you never thought you'd see the day, right? Haha! Well, although this is a polish blog, every once in awhile there is a product that I love enough to share here. This one happens to be one that I know alot of us polish fanatics enjoy!

Candles. I love Candles. I love sitting and releaxing by candlelight, I love the smell of a freshly lit candle, and I love being able to walk into any room in my home and smell the secent of my choice drifting through the air. I've loved candles since I was in my teens, and to this day they are my chosen way of scenting my house. However, I am also VERY picky when it comes to candles. I want a candle that is long lasting, smells fabulous, yet isn't too strong or perfumy but still fills my home with scent. I've found a few brands that do this, but I end up spending a small fortune on just a few candles. I'm also a big fan of unique scents, and I want to be able to buy them year round.

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Crystal, the mastermind and creative genius behind Savory Scents, an Indie Candle maker on Etsy. Since I obviously adore candles, I jumped at the chance to try these out. I received 2 candles, Pumpkin Souffle and Cotton Candy (2 of the scents that immediately jumped out at me!) to try out.



Both candles came in adorable 4oz tins, which I love! As you can see, I didn't wait to try these out!

Pumpkin Souffle:






Pumpkin Souffle is a rich pumpkin scent blended with fresh nutmeg, cinnamon, creamy caramel and toasted vanilla. I could smell the pumpkin scent the second this candle started to burn, and within minutes my entire house smelled like a freshly baked pumpkin pie! I could even smell it on the opposite end of my house! Yum! Despite the scent being strong enough to reach every room, it's not a heavy, perfum-y scent. It's still light and delicate.  I've burned this candle often over the last 2 weeks and it still has a ton left. Impressive since these candles do liquify almost entirely while burning. I don't know about you, but this is how I prefer my candles to burn - it means I'm getting a good amount of scent as opposed to just burning wick.

Cotton Candy:





Cotton Candy is sugary strawberry and sweet vanilla notes in candle form. It smells exactly like cotton candy and is perfect for days when I want something very light but still sweet. Just like Pumpkin Souffle, I could smell this throughout the house, yet it wasn't overbearing or perfum-y, and the sweet scent wasn't so sweet that I couldn't tolerate it. I have burned this candle the most, and still have a good 3/4 of the 4oz tin remaining. It really is lovely!

I am so in love with these candles and quite honestly, I will be ordering more. It's rare that I am this happy with a candle, nonetheless two of them! Usually I'll find one I like, but the second will be a dud. Not this time. These both rocked my socks! Between the fabulous tin, amazing scents and incredible longevity of these candles? Well, let's say I do believe I have found my go to place for candles.

And of course, I have one of them burning while I'm polishing, so this is slightly polish related! ;)
