Candle Spa – Pomegranate & White Fig Reed Diffuser Review

I have written about Candle Spa before and their Pomegranate & White Fig Candle which I loved. I was intrigued that they had sent me the Reed diffuser to review in the same scent but I didn’t expect for different aspects of the scent would come forward. There was also the POREX e-reeds that I’d never tried before.

A reminder of the scent description:

A stylish and beautiful blend of Exotic fresh fig fruit, green fig leaf, pink pepper, cardamom, frankincense and citrus, leading to a heart of clove, patchouli, lily, blended with fruity blackcurrant, warming amber and woody fig bark.

Paddywax Urban Collection Fig & Olive Candle Review

Our friends at The Fragrance Lounge kindly sent me a couple of candles from the Paddywax Urban Collection, which you can read about HERE. The first one I’ll be reviewing is a Fig & Olive 3.5oz/99g candle. It’s taken me so long to do this first review because I’ve been really savouring this candle.

Fig & Olive is described as a Mediterranean medley of enticing fragrances. The rich fruity aroma of freshly picked figs blends beautifully with the fresh herbaceous scent radiated from the leafy branches of an olive tree. The overall aroma is deep, fruity and truly irresistible. Read More

Candle Spa – Pomegranate & White Fig Luxury Candle Review

So happy to bring you the first of two reviews for Candle Spa. Sam wrote about their company already and today I’m bringing you a candle review.  They sent me their Pomegranate and White Fig scents in candle (30cl) and reed diffuser form. Everyone in the world knows how much pomegranate has been a big scent choice of mine in the last few years. There is something very intense about the scent that really draws me into it.

A stylish and beautiful blend of exotic fresh fig fruit, fresh fig fruit, pink pepper, cardamom, frankincense and citrus, leading to a heart of clove, patchouli, lily, blended with fruity blackcurrant, warming Amber and woody fig bark.

Sounds gorgeous doesn’t it? The soy wax candle itself is beautiful, I love the clean and white vessel that it’s in. it’s good quality too and can easily be cleaned out after use to recycle it. Which I love! Read More

Paddywax Library Mark Twain Boxed Candle Review

Regular instagram followers will know that I do enjoy a good quote and any chance to get a good quote AND a candle is always going to be a winner for me. When The Fragrance Lounge asked me to review a Paddywax candle, there were so many choices but as soon as I saw this one. I knew I had to have it!

Also I absolutely loved the scent choice and as everyone knows by now, I’m such a vanilla fan and last year also made me branch out more into more mandle type scents; oak, tobacco, amber etc. Tobacco Flower is a scent I’ve sampled quite a lot recently, maybe it was the vanilla that made me like this one more but it really is the best one. This could be because this is actually the only soy wax version actually, that really could be why.

It isn’t an overly floral scent, so obviously I love this.  If you are more into your fruity or food scents, then this one is definitely not for you. I would definitely recommend this for the man in your life… also I’m sure a lot of you will enjoy it too. The Vanilla does sweeten it out and it could still make you think of a relaxing spa I’m sure.
