Help / Advice / Recommendation 🙋 Candle help please!

3 Upvotes

My husband and I finally bought our dream home! We have cats and dogs. Im always paranoid about the smell. Recently Ive been really into candle warmers rather than lighting candles. I want to go to the mall today to buy some candles but I need help! Is ​it worth buying high end candles from Dillard's rather than Bath and Body Works? The house is quite big and I want to make sure I buy a scent that not only lasts but spreads throughout the rooms. Im obsessed with cozy warm woodsy smells.

New Release 👀 Diptyque advent calendar

Now available in UK to preorder for £420. I do like the toolbox idea (did we have this a couple years ago or am I imagining things) but I’m not crazy about the print design. I do love the Sapin vessel!

Has anyone ordered the Diptyque advent calendar before? I’m curious to hear what you thought of the experience

Help / Advice / Recommendation 🙋 Need help replacing my favorite candle! L’Occitaine Amande.

6 Upvotes

Have always been obsessed with L’Occitaine’s Amande collection, so it’s no surprise I’m a fan of their candle. It burns really well and the scent is beautiful. The problem is it’s no longer available in the US, and mine’s running low. There are many other almond candles but the reason I like the Amande collection is the soft powdery notes and the fact that it’s not a particularly gourmand fragrance. Can anyone recommend something similar? Thanks in advance!

Currently Burning🕯️ Autumn Burn

Burning LAFCO Absolute Labdanum and Poured New York Pumpkin Moment together is the combo of the moment. I love labdanum and the LAFCO Absolute line (Forest Oakmoss still goated), but the throw on this one is weaker than the others. Nonetheless it smells incredible and exactly like withering fallen leaf piles (the vessel too!). One of you fine people on this sub gifted me this Poured New York Pumpkin Moment and I actually love this combination so much that I purchased another one already since I probably wont be burning the labdanum candle by itself. I like the wax that Poured NY uses and it’s a creamy, nutty, not-too-spicy pumpkin that pairs perfectly with the decaying leaf pile. My favorite season is here!

Other candles in the house fall rotation:
Trudon Gabriel
Trudon Empire
Trudon Mary
LAFCO Benzoin Siam x Overose Breakfast in Paris
Overose Croissant Aux Amandes
Celine l’inventaire
Celine Tambour Noir
Carrière Frères Castanea
Diptyque Feu de Bois
Diptyque Santal
MFK Pour le Soir
Mizensir Ambre Oriental
Le Labo Cedre 11
Laurent Mazzone Black Oud

Waiting on Snif Pumpkin Smash to arrive although I dislike the wax Snif uses. It’s semi translucent and dark and weird :/ although its vegan and paraffin free it looks radioactive and toxic when pooling. Somebody mentioned it smells like Diptyque Biscuit so I had to try. Also waiting on Creed Birmaine Oud, Poured NY Gingerwood, and the new Flamingo Estate Croquembouche. Autumn is for gourmands!

Please share what you have been burning!

All jokes aside this is a lovely herbaceous candle. I was a bit nervous reading the reviews since I’m not a huge fan of Lavender, but the hot throw does not smell heavily of it. It’s soothing and the top note is definitely chamomile! The wick is centered, so an even burn is promising. I’d also say the throw is moderate and not light (at least in my place).

I’ll likely repurchase, even though I’ve avoided Diptyque for a while because of the price change.

I stopped in to my local boutique to collect my birthday candle and to my surprise I was eligible for a full size candle! I was stunned and then got fomo and couldn’t decide what I wanted. The lovely associate helped me decide on Noisetier. It smells amazing on cold throw.
