Does anyone else adore scented candles? I am always on the lookout for good quality scented candles. I don't mind spending up on candles if they are of great quality. I have bought scented candles cheaply before and whilst they smell great in the shop, when you get them home they don't smell at all when lit. I would love to hear about scented candles that really work and that you have been impressed by:)

I agree, always a bit hit and miss with scented candles. Diptyque are the famous covetable ones, pricey but somewhat of a status symbol! I am yet to try one but they are available in Melbourne from Kleins Perfumery in Brunswick St Fitzroy. Have a look at the Adore site as they have quite a collection, perhaps someone on staff will respond soon. The ones you purchase from new age stores look and smell divine but tend not to replicate that aroma once lit. I am an oil burner girl who likes to mix her essential oils to suit the mood!:)

Some of the better scented candles I have used are:

Isola Luce - Kiss me in Fiji, which is available from Adore Beauty, lasts for ages and smells gorgeous and costs only thrity five dollars.

Archpelago Soy Candles- I have had Caramel, Sweet Pea and Pomegranate. These are one of the nicest candles I have had. They leave a really strong smell in the air which I love and burn for about 60 hours. They are available from Kit for around fifty dollars.

Burn Candles- Really beautiful strong smelling candles, Come in lots of different scents and burn for around a hundred hours. They cost about ninety dollars. I justify this by saying it's less than a dollar per hour hehe!:rolleyes:

Agent Provocateur: I was lucky enough to receive a couple of these candles as a gift from a friend. They smell amazing and look absoulutely gorgeous!!!!

Bloom also have beautiful scented candles, I have only had one (lavender and vanilla) that I purchased from Adore and it was gorgeous and so reasonably priced at around thrity dollars!

The Body Shop have a range of inexpensive candles that are great value for money and smell lovely. I love the vanilla one!

I would love to hear about any others that people have tried.

Wow! Your place must smell terrific!:)

Would you believe I was about to talk about Kleins Perfumery!!! One of my favourite shops!! I have been to both stores recently. The Brunswick one just a short walk from Adore Beauty. The St Kilda one in Ackland Street is just as great!

My place always smells great. I pride myself on it! I love essential oils also. I am thinking about doing a beauty therapy diploma next year.

True, I live nearby and it's great (and a bit dangerous!) having the two stores so close. You should go for it with your Diploma, perhaps include Aromatherapy too? Good Luck!:)

Well I simply cannot go past Dusk. Yes their candles can get a little pricey as you go up in size but I am addicted to Vienna. It's Cranberry and Vanilla and smells absolutely divine!

I get their little melts and burn them in the oil burner as well as the candles. I'm a bit sad though, I get all these awesome (huge and expensive) candles from there as gifts but I don't want to burn them coz they're just too beautiful to look at!! I CHERISH my scented candles. :p

Candle junkie here!

The Isola Luce are VERY strongly scented, one candle is enough to scent my whole house, just about! Many of the scents are very sweet/fruity. My favourites are Love in Capri and White Mandarin Flower, these are more floral.

The Demeter candles are fun too, I find some scents are stronger than others - the foodie scents in particular are more noticeable than Dirt/Thunderstorm etc.

There are new Bloom candles coming out in the next week or two, they are made from wax beads rather than solid wax. The scents are "Brown Sugar & Fig" and "Green Tea & Bergamot" - very yummy! They also had a Vanilla Bean one but I didn't order that as it had that burnt-vanilla smell :(

Did you see the new Skeem candles from San Francisco on the site? They are just new, we haven't added them all on yet.

I love those Archipelago ones from Kit too - I've got one that's mango and something or other - yummo.

Just thought I would let you all know that I received my first ever order from Dusk today. The candles are absolutely gorgeous. I will report back on what I think of them once I have used one. First impression is great!

Gee whizz Kate I can't wait for the new bloom candles to arrive and I will be sure to check out the Skeem candles to!:D

I love candles too - it's a recent thing for me though. since I got my own apartment 4 months ago

Just bought a Bloom candle from Adore which I am yet to use - I picked up these gorgeous CHEAP Universal ones from Minimax which I have been using! They're $10 (!!!) and in a gorgeous white-and-pink swirly-floraly type jar thing. Was so excited I bought all the stock they had (which was only 4) and have already given one as a gift. Which was loved too!!

How much do you guys think is too much to pay for a candle?

I had a look today at a new range called Vie Luxe and they had the most divine candles - really sophisticated packaging and lovely scents (strong scented too) - but the candles are priced from $93 for the 60-hour to $163 for the triple-wick 150 hour. Which is pretty pricey as far as candles go. What do you think - too expensive?
See http://www.vieluxenyc.com/.

I'm not sure that I would ever pay more that a hundred dollars for a candle. I think the ones that I purchase now that cost between 30 - 100 dollars (Burn, Archpelago, Tocca, Dusk etc etc) are gorgeous and I would probably stick with them before splashing out more cash for candles (even as much as I love them). The only reason I would probably purchase a candle over a hundred dollars would be if someone requested it for a bithday or christmas gift.

I love sented candles so very much but its the one thing i feel silly splurging on.

I have a beautiful tea light candle holder my fiance bought me so i have heaps of different tea lights - rose, vanilla, lavender, green tea...and i usually burn them a few hours before i go to bed.

I have some bigger green tea ones too which have the most refreshing smell! Cant remember the name of the shop but its very similar to Dusk

I have been burning my Dusk Vanilla and Cranberry candle over the past week and it smells gorgeous. It leaves the room smelling beautiful. I find the scent is subtle but noticable. It isn't as strong as say the Archipelago ones from kit but you can certainly smell it! Today I received a set of Gucci scented candles. I can't wait to try them out. I will report back when I have given them a try:)

Gucci have candles?!

wow where did you get them from?

Yes Gucci have candles. They come in a set of three and they are cuir and rose scented. I got them as a gift from a friend (who left the price tag on $190.00 for three). I will ask her where she purchased them and report back. They come in cute glass packaging adorning the famous Gucci monogram!

oh they sound divine pinkcupcake!

Just wanted to rave on about Dusk Candles! I can't believe I have been missing out on Dusk for so long!! How gorgeous are these candles! I am absolutely delighted with the candles I have puchased and they smell heavenly. To start with I only ordered the small ones which cost about $5 each but I have since ordered the largest sizes that they come in. If you haven't tried dusk candles please do. You won't be disappointed!

The other day I puchased two scented candles from The Perfume Connection. One was Cinnamon & Nutmeg scented and the other was Vanilla & Nutmeg (smells like eggnog). They were around $18 each and they smell divine. I'm going to buy some more to put in Christmas stockings etc! I was really surprised how the smell drifted through the house once I lit the candles. Definitely worth a look girls and they would make really nice centre pieces for Christmas tables!

Also worth trying is Blooms Brown Sugar and Fig Scented Candle available from Adore Beauty. $ 25 and smells delicious!

I purchased the razberry candle by Archipelago from Kit last weekend and it smells gorgeous. I also burned my L'occitane gingerbread candle this morning and it too was divine! Anyone tried any other scented candles that are beautiful smelling. I tend to like the ones that you can actually smell and get really disappointed if I can't smell them!

Ooooh! The gingerbread one sounds fabulous pinkcupcake! Would make me hungry though!:D

Oooh you should smell the L'occitane Licorice one! Also the pear, mndarin and vanilla! The L'occitane candles have a very high percentage of oils in them. They told me they cram as many in as possible then they must contain themselves because if they put anymore in the candles wont solidify. They are quite small but burn for a long time. They are around $35 each. Definitely check them out!

Thanks! Will definitely check them out when next on Chapel Street, they sound devine!

The Archipeligo ones are nice PCC. I think i bought the "Mango something" one. Was great smell and long lasting.

:typing:

I LOVE scented candles!
They can't have a strong smell otherwise i get a headache:no:
I have this gorgeous one that my mum bought for christmas. It smells Divine!

:spin: admin i agree......the archipelago ones are absolutely beautiful and the smell is yummy. i got the mango one as well, but definitely gonna get myself the white fig one as i have the l'attissan perfume in fig and it smells the same as the candle. ooo the l'occatane pear candles sooounddss yummy PCC. thats another one on my list of must have candle.hehehe. went to dusk today and bought the rose ones. im actually impress with the smell as it not strong but does leave the house nice smelling, especially for the price of $20 and it burns for 50hrs.

There is a section on scented candles in the latest edition of Shop Till You Drop Magazine. I so want every candle on that page. Girls do try the Renee scented candles now available at Adore. I am going to get some more. A friend got me some and they smell gorgeous. Snow Peach is my fave! Also the Jo Malone candles are outstanding. French Lime Blossom is my fave!

Damn this forum is bad news. ;)

I just bought an Isola Luce candle in Spanish Hibiscus. Very excited.

PCC - The Dusk citronella candle is great. It comes in a heavy jar and smells great. I'm not into super sweet smells though...

CaffeineAddict, you should next try the Isola Luce candle in Pomegranate if you dont like things too sweet. PCC gave it to me for my birthday, it's heavenly!

I'm OBSESSED with scented candles (according to SATC that makes me sad but I'm willing to take that risk). My absolute favourite are Yankee Candles, they are like the Demeter Fragrance Library of candles! I just got one called "Good Morning" which smells like a cinnamony muffin - there's even a picture of a muffin on the front of it. I wholeheartedly recommend these candles. Some "foody" scented candles can smell cheap and gross but I've never had a Yankee Candle that has smelled anything other than luxurious and beautiful.

Also they infuse their scent into the whole candle, not just the top part (which apparently a lot of cheap places do), so the scent lasts right til the end. They're very strong too. I'm in luuuurrrve with them.

I just re-read this thread and am dangerously close to ordering a couple of Isola Luce candles....man I have got to stop coming to this forum!! It's so easy to get so hooked! Every time I walk past the computer now I think "I'll just have a quick look at the Adore Beauty forum....". Which is about twenty times a day!

I love candles & incense but rarely burn them since I've had kids & my boy has sneezing fits when I blow the flame out. He is sensitive to incense too. :( I like to burn a scent after vacumming as it gets rid of that vacum smell. We have a dog so as it sucks up the dog hair the air that blows out the back of the vacum smells like dog. Not good. :flames:

I have a little teapot warmer with a tealight candle but everytime I light it the kids run over sing Happy Birthday & blow it out!

We have a dog so as it sucks up the dog hair the air that blows out the back of the vacum smells like dog. Not good. :flames:



Hahaha I know EXACTLY what you mean! I smell dog every time I vacuum. I keep meaning to get some of that carpet sprinkly stuff that you vacuum up and apparently it deodorises the vacuum bag too......but I keep forgetting.

In my NEW HOUSE that I moved into on the weekend :glee: I am burning a Renee Amber candle. I don't like the Amber fragrance on my skin (my body chemistry does something funny with it) but it's goooooorgeous in a candle :hearts:

In my NEW HOUSE that I moved into on the weekend :glee:
Oh! How did that go? Is it all going well?

Oh! How did that go? Is it all going well?

It's great!! Although the bathroom storage capacity is SERIOUSLY lacking :ashamed: so I'm getting the boy to mount a second cabinet from Ikea on the wall.

Oh and there's no shoe space either. My cupboard has room for five pairs of shoes which is really not going to cut it! I shall be making a trip to Howard's Storage World this week, they have a rack that holds 21 pairs that can be hung from the back of a door; and I've also got 12 clear shoeboxes coming from vilainboutique.com that should take care of the rest :chuckle:

I have some candles from Crabtree and Evelyn.. they are really cute in little glass holders and are all scented - I think it was a pack of 6 or something (got them a year or so ago now!).

I loooove Crabtree and Evelyn as much as it is possible to love a bunch of inanimate objects. Their lamp rings and scented oil are beautiful - I love Summer Hill the best. Crabtree and Evelyn stuff always makes me feel like the girliest of girls!

Ozkat where can I buy the yankee candles from?

I also am obsessed with scented candles. I would easily have a couple of hundred that I haven't got around to buring yet. My favourites are the Archipelago candles from Kit. They are really strong smelling and I love the strong scent.

PCC you can get Yankee Candles from www.yankeecandle.com. Unfortunately there's nowhere in Australia that I know of where you can buy them in person (therefore you can't smell before you buy :( ) but rest assured, they're all lovely.

I bought a bunch of scented candles in the Pacifica range from Target today. They're sort of in the intermediate price bracket, but they're really quite lovely for the price. I bought Sandalwood, Tahitian Gardenia, French Lilac and Brazilian Mango and Grapefruit.

Must check those out at Target. I love L'occitane candles also.

Which is pretty pricey as far as candles go. What do you think - too expensive?
See http://www.vieluxenyc.com/.

OK, so I would spend $93 on a candle if it was really nice. I would burn it on special occassions! Had a look at the website - I like the St Moritz as spicey, warm, fireside, winter nights are what I LOVE, and this sounds like it!

Where can you buy them from in Australia though???

If I spent $93 on a candle I would tell myself it was for special occasions, but I know I'd end up burning it all the time (I absolutely cannot be in the house without candles or oil burning). I have to say, I really doubt I'd spend that much on a candle. I'd rather spend the money on a greater amount of cheaper candles - I think a $20 or $30 candle is probably as good as a hundred dollar one. Also, my house is big and open plan so I need more candles to actually spread the scent around. Having said that, if someone gave me a prestige candle I'd be a happy gal!

Does anyone else find it really hard to throw out the glass jars that scented candles come in, even when they're finished burning? I feel like it's sacrilege to throw them out!! But then this from the girl who can't throw out a cloggy, almost empty bottle of nail polish "because it's Christian Dior....."!

Yes. I keep them, and use them to put stuff in. The wax is usually really easy to get out and you can put them in places you will still enjoy looking at them! I use them to put coins in (silver in one and gold in another!) Very handy!!

Those yankee candles look amazing!! It's so hard to choose which one to buy!!

I know VeeE!! I cannot go on the Yankee Candle website because it's just too much temptation! I want them all dammit!!!!!!!

I am burning Mor Persian Peach scented candle at the moment. I must admit I am just loving the vintage packaging. It looks gorgeous sitting on my bedside table and it smells sensational too.

I have a set ritual that I read when I get in to bed each night and I always have a scented candle going for half an hour or so just to give the room a lovely smell. It's very important you don't do this if you think you may fall asleep with the candle still going.

Scented candles realy have become a big part of my life. I have a massive collection of them and can't seem to walk past a shop that sells them without making a purchase. I have them going in the lounge room whilst I am watching tv, we have them going at the dining table when we eat, and I have them all around the bath when I take a soak.

I would be lost without my scented candles, they are so soothing and I just love candlelight.

PCC I love my scented candles too. Every morning when I get up, I light 3 or 4 candles and an oil burner, before I even put my coffee on! Because I'm usually home studying for 3-4 hours in the morning before I go to uni, I really love to have a beautifully scented environment around me - it makes it so much more pleasurable! I wouldn't dream of being at home and NOT having candles going. Like you, I light a candle in my room before I go to sleep, but I'm psychotically worried about falling asleep with it still on and the curtain blowing over it and catching fire, so I've stopped doing that. I even have scented candles in my toilet and bathroom - I don't light them in the toilet unless I'm having a party or something, but their presence in there scents the tiny room nicely anyway.

I keep all my scented candles on a little wooden bookshelf that I have in a little nook in my house, and the collection never fails to draw comments from people who see it - my brother springs to mind (he's an eloquent guy): "Holy Shit! That's a f***load of candles!".

Ozkat that is so funny! What a Brotherly thing to say. My brother would probably say something similar. Have you ever tried the Husk scented candles? They are gorgeous to.

Last weekend I bought some scented candles by a comapany called Glasshouse Candles. They are seriously one of the best scented candles I have ever purchased. They come in a lovely glass jar with lid and are tripple scented (making them quite strong). They each burn for more than 100 hours and only cost $30.

I like these equally as much as I like Diptique candles, Archpelago candles and Isola Luce candles! Their website is currently under construction but if you google Glasshouse candles you will find a variety of places that sell them. Best of all they are Aussie made and owned!

I saw those somewhere online in my wanderings............ where was it???

Yes, a little local gift shop here has them and they're GORGEOUS!!! I love how they're named after cities & places and their scents reflect their names...(actually I hope I'm thinking of the right ones LOL)

Yep you are thinking of the right ones Ozzie. Cuba is my fave thus far it is pinapple, tangerine and cherry scented.

Wow, they sound nice. I have really been into scented candles lately. I've tried Isola Luce in about 4 different fragrances, and most recently Pacifica soy candles. I've never tried soy candles - quite different to other candles. The wax is very soft and oily. I really love the Bali Lime Papaya fragrance in this range.

I'm always on the lookout for something new & these Glasshouse ones sound nice - are they paraffin based?

I have no idea if they are soy or parrafin based. I just know that they are gorgeous and the wicks don't smoke as some candles do. They are triple scented so give out a very strong scent. I am not a fan of candles that say they are scented but you can hardly smell when you light them.

Burning pear candle melts upstairs at the moment, smells fresh..

Well yesterday I bought a C&E Noel candle and when I went to light it, the wick just disapeared and it burned out straightaway and became unnburnable. I exchanged it today and just went to light it and the same thing happened today!! Am going to go back tomorrow and exchange it for something ELSE, I have been turned off Crabtree and Evelyn candles!!!

BTW why is candle stuff in Bath and Body and not Home or Fragrance?

You use to be able to buy the Asquith and Somerset room sprays at Priceline. I don't know if they still have them but I have a couple of them is strawberry and coconut and banana.

Great sight! I am avoiding looking at it in too much depth until payday! I have seriously spent way too much money in the last few weeks:redcheeks:!! Oh but hey isn't that what my credit card is for? When you have cash use your visa debit, when you don't charge it up and worry about it when the bill comes in:chuckle:

This sound familiar to anyone?

Not going there....:redcheeks:

It's a friend's birthday tomorrow so I just popped out to get something for her. I bought her a 2 Peas in a Pod vanilla bean candle, but then I went into another shop and saw these gooooorrrrgeous Royal Doulton scented candles. Oh man these are some of the most beautiful scented candles I have ever seen!! So I bought her one in the "Weekender" fragrance. I'm going to keep the vanilla bean one for myself. My bank account is scrreeeeaming at me now, I hope no unexpected expenses pop up in the next week. :shakehead: I have to learn to control myself!

But great candles happen so rarely Oz. When you find them, you simply must buy them:whipcrack: Well, me anyway :redcheeks:

I have to say, this 2 Peas in a Pod vanilla bean candle is SO strong and gorgeous.

Oh I love 2 Peas In a Pod Stuff Oz! Adore don't stock the candles do they? Wonder if Kate might be able to get some in? I love the vanilla bean range!!

I looked again in Target for the Pacidica candles today to no avail. They did however have some nice Modern Living ones in Lemongrass and another in Spice something? Both smelt gooood. All the candles were 30% off too making them only $4-12!

I went and had a look at my target for the Pacifica candles again today but they have none. I saw the Modern Living Ones too M but was worried they would smell strong enough for me. Let me know how you find them.

Yeah I want to get me some more Pacifica candles too, but I can't seem to find them. My local Target just underwent major renovations recently too, and I got lost the last time I was there! I want some more Bali Lime Papaya mmmmm......

Oh I love 2 Peas In a Pod Stuff Oz! Adore don't stock the candles do they? Wonder if Kate might be able to get some in? I love the vanilla bean range!!

We can probably get them in for you PCC, send an email to Celeste - service@adorebeauty.com.au

Thanks Kate!!

Now before I e-mail the beautiful Miss Celeste is anyone else interested in getting 2 Peas In a Pod Candles? I assume they will be fairly reasonably priced as the entire range is very very reasonable. Just thought I would ask so that Celeste doesn't get bombarded with lots of different e-mails. Just express your interest here in this thread so I can give her an indication of who would be interested in purchasing these candles if Adore are able to get them in stock. I will also find out all the scents they come in.

i would love to know what scents they come in & a price & size if possible ;) :waving: :clapping:

Yep, me too..... I might try to break my candle burning hiatus this year.................

I had a sniff of the Archepeligo (?spelling) ones at Kit today. I wouldnt have thought, but my fave was the Verbena. Do these ones give off a good scent or do they just look good?;)

i think Vee said they smelt great whilst burning

Luisa,
Archipelago candles are the BOMB!! They are extremely strong smelling and they one of my fave brands. The scent from these candles is so strong that you can smell it all through my house when I have them going (and it's a big house)!! Defintely need you to invest in one of these.:waving:

Thanks guys, I had a quick sniff of all of them but liked the verbena one the best, lovely and fresh!

Thanks guys, I had a quick sniff of all of them but liked the verbena one the best, lovely and fresh!

The Verbena is really great. Smells good when you burn it in conjuction with an Amber candle.

Just had a squiz at the Renee candles Kate mentioned in the Scented Candles thread. They are the same price too.

Have received two (2) comments on my 2 Peas in a Pod vanilla bean candle since I got it 24 hours ago. It smells amazing.

I sniffed some of the Archipelago ones on Saturday too LB - ah, gorgeous. I love the caramel one but I fear it would just make me eat all day long.

Sweet Pea and Verbena were my faves.

I knew there was another one I liked - Sweet Pea!

I dug out a cute MOR candle that I had tucked away, Jasmine Tea. It is in a gorgeos little cermic cup, would make a great travel candle.

Today I got:

Royal Doulton Scented Candles in:

Romance which includes notes of Honey, musk, woody amber, jasmine and orange.

Weekender Candle which includes notes of Jasmine blossom and essential Oils of Lemon, orange, bergamot abd camphor.

Also got from the range:

Wild Fig and Apple Blossom Aroma Reeds (those things with the reeds that stick out of the oil in the bottle)

Vanilla Orchid Aroma Reeds

White Lily and Lotus Room Spray

PCC, where did you get these from? The RD one sounds lovely.

PCC, where did you get these from? The RD one sounds lovely.

Would you believe I got them in my home town at a little boutique. I swear to god I will be the only person in the entire town who buys them as candles in my town are for power blackouts. SA said I was the only person who had given them a second Glance.

Candles are $29.95
Room Sprays are $24.95
Aroma Reeds are $39.95

Just let me know if you can't get them but would like some. I can get you some and express away!

Oh don't you adore the Royal Doulton ones?!!! I want every one of them! They just smell divine. It sounds funny to say but they smell expensive! Nothing cheap and synthetic about them, even though they're really a good price. They have scented oils too which I think are around the $18 mark.

I wish L'Occitane would make a shea scented candle, I adore L'Occ shea scent.

I will definitely let you know! I have a ton of canldes arriving (probably at work today) so I will be right for a little while! I noticed in the Myer Winter catalogue that Scented Space have new aroma reed varieties. Olive Leaf, Quince (have to get this!) and lemon and verbena (could also be a goer).

On the subject of my candles, I have had an amazing customer service experience with the company http://www.online-candle.com/site/878854/page/45029 Frank rang from there apoolgising for the delay (huh?) and telling me that they had been waiting on a shipment of candles. There are a few that he couldnt supply me with in the Shadows range as they have been deleted (Ginger and Cinnamon was amongst it!) but he is going to substitute them for their own Aroma brand which is a soy based candle.

Medusa, the wax melts in the Mixed Berries that you like is now available in the candle form .It will be one of my substitutes. I mentioned that I belonged to a forum where we had discussed his candles and site and he was very impressed. He reminded me that because my order was over $30 I would get a free gift but said he would throw in some other things for me to try!

Cant wait to get them and I am most impressed that he took the time to call and relay other products that I could substitute for my order.

Burning Kai votives atm. Makes me feel happy and relaxed.

Oh so is the Shadows range discontinued or just deleted from their site?

I got the impression that he was deleting some but others had been deleted from the company he was awaiting his shipment from. They are wanting to concentrate on their own brand of soy based candles which are a more healthy burning candle. Will post what I think of the scents soon.

Sounds like an awesome site. Thanks for the rec, I will give it a second look. It makes me sooo much more willing to buy from a site if I know other people have had good experiences.

So true!

I am such a quince and Guava freak! Love them both so much!

what fantastic customer sevice LB :clapping:

OMG! Stumbled across a whole store devoted to candles in Brunswick Street today. It is directly opposite Kleins and is called Le Desire. Apparently they have heaps of stores with more opening this year. Their prices are ridiculously cheap. They have a candle in a rectangular looking glass jar that is their stronger smelling variey. It burns for around 40 hours and costs.....$8.95!

I had overstayed my car parking time (in a suburb known for its zealot parking inspectors) so had to make a run for it but I will be back next Tuesday!:glee:

http://ledesire.com/production/

I have seen these shops around I think, or at least heard of them :waving:

Finally found the Glasshouse candles. Freedom are stocking them but only in their Home concept stores.

Burning Kai votives atm. Makes me feel happy and relaxed.
I just adore the Kai scent.

I just adore the Kai scent.

:hugs: M.

I can't get enough of the Kai fragrance either! I don't have any candles yet, but I've got the perfume oil, the body glow spray and the body buffer - they are all gorgeous.

Just got a question for those of you that have used Glasshouse candles - have any of you tried the frangipani scented one? My neighbour was after a frangipani scented candle & I know that Dusk have some. But then I had a look at the Glasshouse ones & they have one too, and I read that you guys had great experiences with them - and the burn time is 100 hours! So I recommended that one & have ordered it for him, because I was going to order some candles anyway. Anyone specifically tried the frangipani? (I'm just trying to recall what a frangipani smells like!)

BM - Can you review the Kai Body Buffer for me please. I have my eye on this. Does it work well? How long did it last?

Hey M - I did a review on MakeupAlley recently, so I'll just cut and paste it below for you;) By the way, I'm also bluemelon on MakeupAlley, so feel free to read my reviews;)


This is definitely a unique product. It comes as a ball shape (about the size of a mini soccer ball), which is split in half (hence the 2 sponges).
At first appearance, it looks like a sponge, but is quite hard and also feels waxy. It contains palm oil derived glycerin, coconut oil and olive oil, so I figured that the waxiness was from that. But I was a bit worried that it was going to leave me all greasy when I used it.
So the instructions say to wet the sponge and squeeze it to release the bubbles, but that was a bit difficult at first because the sponge is so hard initially, but it does slowly soften with each use (up to 30 uses for each one).
Once the sponge became wet, I could see soapy foam start appearing (infused with the Kai scent), so started using it on my skin. It didn't hurt or aggravate my skin, but definitely did a good job at exfoliating. And with the bubbles of soap as well, it's just like exfoliating and using a body wash or soap at the same time.
When I got out of the shower after using it the first time, my skin had this 'weird' feeling - difficult to describe, but it was as if I had a 'layer' of something on - almost like a waxy layer. I'm guessing that this was something to do with the oils, but I couldn't see any oily or waxy residue on my skin. This feeling was gone soon after. After additional uses, I didn't get this feeling afterwards, so it must have just been for that first use where that 'waxy' layer came off.
So to sum it up, it's like an exfoliator and soap/body wash in one. And it leaves you beautifully and lightly fragranced with the Kai scent. This product is like nothing I've ever used before - definitely unique. It's worth the money for the size & if you love the Kai fragrance like me, it's a bonus. Probably something I'll use over the summer months as my exfoliator, and then use the more 'heavy duty' sugar/salt scrubs over winter.

Excellent! :clapping: Thanks for much :hugs:

Fantastic review. I have always wanted to get my mitts on one of these, but after your review I might wait 'till summer ;)

I absolutely love this! The lovely Ms C bought it for me!:penguin:

I still have the other half left. It is supposed to last you 30 days and indeed it does. I dont however, find it exfoliating. Although the sponge is firm to start, it does soften but it is still a sponge. The bubble and fragrance it produces is out of this world!:clapping:

ISo I recommended that one & have ordered it for him, because I was going to order some candles anyway. Anyone specifically tried the frangipani? (I'm just trying to recall what a frangipani smells like!)

Bluemelon, where did you order them from?

Bluemelon, where did you order them from?

Hey Luisa - I ordered from Scentiments (I think you guys have mentioned it on here somewhere). I bought some candles from there last year, as they had some great discounts going. I didn't know they stocked Glasshouse candles until now (unless it's a new brand for them). I've ordered some of the Illume soy candles (in the travel tins) for myself to try out, seeing as I can't seem to get the Pacifica soy ones anymore :(

I bought a huge vanilla glasshouse candle here in adelaide on saturday from a quirky little gift shop I have always loved. They had the frangiapani one and others but i didn't smell it bluemelon... sorry, not much help.

I am going back to Le Desire in Brunswick St tomorrow to check out their candle range. Cant wait!:penguin:

Full report Please.

For sure!;)

I got my order this morning :glee:

I had a whiff of the frangipani candle & yes, I remember what they smell like! And I have to say - those Glasshouse candles are huge! Well worth the price.

Also, I got Illume travel tin soy candles in Pineapple Cilantro and Papaya, and also a Paddywax travel tin in Rhubarb Nectarine - they all smell divine. Looking forward to burning them.

What are the Dusk candles like?
I noticed today that they do candles in glass jars with a lid. Are they Soy based?

The dusk candles are lovely and smell quite nice. They are not as strongly scented as The Glass House Candles but you can definitely smell them. I have heaps of them. I honestly can't tell you ifthey are soy based or not.

What are the Dusk candles like?
I noticed today that they do candles in glass jars with a lid. Are they Soy based?

I don't think they are Medusa - I think they're paraffin based. Generally you can tell if a candle is soy based, because the wax is really soft &melts a lot quicker. They are also greasier than paraffin, but these Dusk ones seem like paraffin based. The Dusk glass jars are really cute, because you can buy a little glass shade to go on top, so they look like mini lamps.

I quite like these Illume soy candles I got today - I miss my soy candles ie Pacifica. Also the other brand I got (Paddywax) - they are made out of natural vegetable wax, so another good alternative.

I'm not a huge candle fan but a candleshop called Moontree at Leura, in the Blue Mountains makes the BEST vanilla candles I have ever smelt. Even my OH likes it!

I always pick one up whenever I make the trip to the Mountains. :)

Isn't that a beautiful shop. I always pop in for a look when I am in Luera. I also love the artwork and stuff they have downstairs.

I bought the pear scented candle from MAC yesterday. It is sooooo nice

MAC does scented candles?

Well, technically it is a BURN candle, but I bought it from MAC. Expensive, but really really nice.

Ohhh okay.

The Burn Candles are beautiful, well worth the $$ in my opinion.

HELP!!

Im having friends over in half an hour so Im burning two glasshouse candles. One is ok but the other one has the tiniest flames. It looks like its going to go out. I dont know know what to do!

Is it cos the wick isn't long enough?

Its brand new, do think it could be that?

I have no idea - check how long the wick is. I don't know very much about candles! :chuckle:

Sorry, dont have an answer for you, you may need to dig around the wick to give it more length though.

I remembered I didnt post what I picked up from Le Desire on Tuesday. I got 3 40hour burning candles in rectangular glass holders in Cinnamon Apple, Holiday Memories and Bordeaux Vinyards. They did have the "notes" of these candles on little cards beside them but I cant remember!

Also picked up some melts in Palm Island (burning at the moment in my oil burner, smells lovely), a cylindrical one called Blended Berries, a smaller one in a range called Serenity, in Tranquility (my fave) and a little votive for Laura that she liked called Tropical Sorbet.

The ones in the glass holders I am told are their most heavily scented candles. They packed them all in a fabric shopping bag and tossed in a rose and white tea melt.

Coupled with the online order I did, I think I have enough candles now for a year!

I love the name Bordeaux Vineyards :hearts:

I have been eyeing off the skeem Lime Soda Candle for ages. Thinking I am going to have it sent in my direction. Go have a look over in Skeem Candles at Adore. I have had a Pinot Noir one from this brand and they are gorgeous.

Does anyone know of any candles that look pretty (like the ones in glass) but have minimal or subtle scents?

Does anyone know of any candles that look pretty (like the ones in glass) but have minimal or subtle scents?

Most of us want the opposite! Well - to look nice - but strong!

If they gave you chronis headaches you wouldn't!

Oh yeah I know but it's just funny. Bloom candles are very subtle.

Oh yeah I know but it's just funny. Bloom candles are very subtle.

Yes the Bloom candles are very subtle.

Perhaps you should buy unscented ones Loola and then just add a drop of oil to them to give them a faint scent. There's nothing worse than scent induced headaches.

I was looking at MOR scented candle today. I fond most their products really reasonably priced, but their candles seem a bit expensive for such a small candle.

Does anyone know of any candles that look pretty (like the ones in glass) but have minimal or subtle scents?

Today, I started burning a Paddywax candle which I ordered last week. The full size candles do come in a clear glass & look really nice, but I actually bought one of the little travel ones in the tin. It's the first time I'm trying this brand, so thought I'd just trial one of the travel ones. I honestly don't like very strongly scented candles myself & this one is really nice - not overpowering. The scent I got is the Rhubarb Nectarine & it is yum! I had it sitting next to my computer for an hour & the scent didn't bother me at all.

Their candles are made out of natural vegetable wax, so the full size ones in the glass are a tad expensive, but I think they burn for around 60 hours. These travel ones are around 12 bucks & burn for 15 hours, so you could maybe try one of those - at least you wouldn't be spending too much in case they do affect you.

I think I'm going to get the Mint Mojito one next mmmm!

Love the sound of the nectarine and rhubarb! Where did you order these from Bluemelon?

It's one of the ones I ordered from Scentiments ;) I'm not sure what rhubarb smells like, but it's just got this nice fruity smell,, like fresh nectarines. It's not that tacky fruity smell either - it's 'classy' (if you can classify a fragrance like that!).

:chuckle:;)

Thanks Bluemelon!:waving:

I have a lot of the Mor scented candles VeeE. They aren't as strong smelling as I like my candles to be but they would be perfect for those who love a lighter type fragrance.

I had an accidental trip into my favourite little boutique today that resulted in me dropping quite a lot of $$ on scented candles, Oh but they were so beautiful I just had to have them!!

They are very beautiful PCC. I have not seen that brand before.

VeeE - I found the Glasshouse candles at the big pharmacy in Rhodes Shop/C today. ;)
They also stock Burt's Bees if you want to check the testers. Actually if you are a beauty buff then this place is pretty much a 1 stop shop. They stock a huge range of brands including some of the more obscure ones - Stacked Style & Demeter perfumes, Aptiva, Badger etc. Well worth a look.

Thanx for the link A. The scent range looks great and they are so cheap! :clapping: Will def be placing an order. Does she do markets are anything?

Yeah I think she does.. I will ask her, she is a lovely girl too :D

There are so many scents there I want to try. I think I might order a stack of the melts first. Then I can work out which are my faves and get the bigger candles.

Have a guess what I staggered across today? Why at the back of a shelf I found three Pacifica Candles! So naturally I bought them!

Malibu Lemon Blossom
Hawaiian Ruby Guava
Bali Lime Papaya

Quite big candles for just $7 each. I officially need to stop buying scented candles now. I have way too many but I just can't resist them.

Where from PCC?

No Way!!!

No Way!!!

The Target I never go to in the bronx :chuckle::chuckle::chuckle: What was I doing in the bronx? Why being a shazza from the hood of course!!:chuckle:

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! :flames:

I just want some Pacifica candles!!!

Going to go back toorrow and pull their shelves apart. I queried the sales assistant as to why I haven't been able to find these at any other store and why the actual company has said they don't sell them and she said to me "no one ever knows anything around here and they are ONLY scented candles"!!

The SA in Target told me to ring their HO to ask which stores had these, so I did. They said no one had any left and that they had received quite a few calls about them. Hopefully they will restock due to demand? She didn't know why they were discontinued though.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!! :flames:

I just want some Pacifica candles!!!

If I find more tomorrow I will let you have first option to them VeeE.

:chuckle::chuckle::chuckle:

Only scented candles... pffft

If I find more tomorrow I will let you have first option to them VeeE.

Sweeeeeeet.

Yeah well in the bronx people only buy candles for power blackouts. I was in a rush as I had to pick J up from the airport so will go back in and hopefully they will have some more. I will get hold of as many as I can if they have any and let you guys have first option to them. I seriously don't need any more scented candles. I reckon I have hundreds in my spare wardrobe:ashamed:!! You open the door and the smell comes right out at you.

That's like the rolly box under my bed. Smells so good when you open it!

I keep my big scented candles in my linen closet (I've only got a couple) so the smell makes my towels & sheets smell lush.

There are so many scents there I want to try. I think I might order a stack of the melts first. Then I can work out which are my faves and get the bigger candles.

coconut - so yummy, scented our bedroom and family room with this and received 2 comments on it - even the boy loved it!
frangipani - a true smell, not an artificial plasticky frangipani smell... so lovely
cotton blossom - this is a unique smell, a nice sweet, clean, fresh smell.
love spell - my fave so far :clapping: "citrus, cherry blossom, hydrangea, apple and peach; with a hint of blondewood"

she packaged them up nicely and the smell when I opened it up was so amazing! If you love Cinnamon as well you must get Cinnamon Stick... the smell is unbelievable

I think I need a million candles from Amaranth's friend Lisa's site and Glasshouse candles. I should perhaps use up the gazillion I have bought recently. Currently have two burning, can you tell I am trying to hurry that up?:chuckle:

I finally found Glasshouse candles!!! I was at the BEST candle shop in the Blue Mountains and I gasped out loud when I saw them sitting there... I got Coole Park (Jasmin and Peony), Kakadu (waterlily- my fave) and Strasborg (cinnamon and apple). I am so happy I found them. I was really overwhelmed by all the smells and nearly walked out with none 'cause I couldn't makeup my mind, but I managed to convince myself to stay and choose 3! I am so glad I did!

Sounds great VeeE! Love the sound of the cinnamon and apple one. Hey, how was your weekend?

OK here you go ---

Hi Kim I do a couple of local markets but it's mainly online. Markets are fun but lots of hard work!! How's things going with you?

I know! I'm hanging out til she re-opens on the 10th, I have my list ready to go :whipcrack:

I'm gonna remake my list 50 times by then - I know I am:whipcrack:

I put in an order for 10 50ml linen sprays.. I've heard great things about them :)

Were they the same as the room sprays A?

Yes..

Her site is just beautiful. Hard part is deciding which ones to get. I love her descriptions on each scent.

there are 13 scents I want to get.....in both tarts and candles :redcheeks:

I know!! That's why I got 50ml sprays, so I could get more!
I use soapnuts in my washing, so there is no scent when it comes out, so I really want to give it some scent.
I can't wait. I got cookie crumbs and choc mint for my daughter, she will adore it.

I got the Renee Amber candle on Saturday. Can't wait to burn it!
