LA JOLIE MUSE Santal Rose Scented Candle – Saffron, Rose & Leather | 6 oz Natural Soy Wax | 40 Hours Clean Burn | Self Care Gifts for Women | Elegant Home Decor

TL;DR I'm 100% going to be a repeat customer for the Santal Rose candle (for moi and gifting). OK, so, here's the thing... Fragrances are SO personal. When someone recommends a scent, I find that it can be hard to gauge the value of the recommendation unless I understand a bit about the recommender's scent preferences. So, I'll start by telling you a bit about scents I like before digging into the nuances of my reactions to this candle. MY SCENT PROFILE: I live for interesting scents AND I'm super picky because really strong scents can trigger migraines for me. Plus, I've been burned (pun intended, hehe) by candles that seemingly smell great, but have a lackluster payout when you actually light them. And there are a bevy of scents that are a HARD cringe for me. For example, I'm very much turned off by sickly sweet and gourmand fragrances that often plague the holiday season (I'm looking at you, PSL). I'm drawn to a range of fragrances, from fresh and aquatic (Bon Parfumeur 801) to clean and musky (Bulgari Eau Parfumée Au Thé Blanc). Usually, I make mood-dependent choices about which fragrance to choose for the day. When I think about my perfume library, some of my go-to fragrances that this candle brings to mind are: • Chloé Eau de Parfum • Narciso Rodriguez For Her • Tocca Cleopatra ABOUT THIS CANDLE: For me, rose is one of those scents that can be hit or miss... in my experience, it's a fine line between cloyingly floral and softly elegant. This candle absolutely falls into the second category! In addition to having a really lovely, gentle scent that envelopes the room, the delicately patterned pink glass container is so. dang. pretty. I'm definitely repurposing the container for cotton swabs in my bathroom after the candle is used up. This candle isn't as cheap as options you'll find at Marshall's or TJ Maxx, but I've found that I get what I pay for when I've bought candles at those stores. I think this candle's gorgeous diffusive fragrance is worth the price. I super recommend this candle as a treat to yourself or a sweet gift for your Anthropologie-obsessed friends. BONUS: A pro tip to help your candles last longer: Use a candle warmer or you can chip off pieces of the candle and use a wax melt warmer.)

I love candles, so I had to try this little pink candle. Very cute, pretty pink glass & the candle smells good!

It’s beautiful and smells great!

I've bought 2 of these candles for 2 main reasons. Reason 1 is the beautiful scent, which is quite unique. (I have Saffron, Rose & Leather.) Within a few minutes of lighting this candle, the whole room is perfumed nicely, but not overpoweringly. Reason 2 for buying 2 of these is that once the last little bit of wax is melted, it's so soft that it can be literally wiped out of the jar and you have a beautiful container to use for holding pencils or whatever you want. The only thing I'm picky about with the candle is the lid; there's no gasket to hold it on the top, so it's just going to be sitting loosely on the top ~~ I have to take care not to accidentally bump into it with anything; I'd hate for it to fall off & break. Burn time ~ it may go by a bit faster than I'd like, but the scent and usefulness of the empty jar are extras that make up for that in my opinion.

Lovely candle that I gifted for the holidays. It was SO pretty. Very special for a very special person. I hope she lived it.

Adorable jar but the smell is extremely over powering.

Aroma is great!

Beautiful and Smells Wonderful!
