For me, there are few things more satisfying than lighting a candle at the end of a busy day. With my laptop finally closed, the kids asleep and the washing-up done, it’s the perfect way to set the scene for a relaxing evening of phone-scrolling ahead. And as someone that is obsessive about fragrance, it’s incredibly important to me that my chosen candles also make my space smell amazing.
Truly, there is nothing more disappointing to me than lighting a candle that smells stunning in its jar only to find that it has zero scent pay-off once it's burning (something I find often when it comes to affordable candles). It’s the candle equivalent of a herbal tea, which always smells way better than it tastes. (Please, let’s all stop pretending otherwise.)
