Soy Candles: Update

There is something to be said for sticking to your guns!  I have always been a fan of the herbal, fruit & floral scents whether it come in the form of bath & body products or home fragrances.  So when I decided to make some seasonal scents, I let my stomache do the talking.  A stomache that was apparently deprived of cookies, cake &  pastry!  This is why we like to do a test run of new scents to see how well they are received.  The result of our Pumpkin, Almond Rum & Walnut Maple Fudge was proven in how many people wanted to eat it rather than burn it. 
So I have gone back to the drawing board & will be introducing "my" kind of fragrances. 

Soooo, I have just put a test run of the following candles on the shelves:
White Gardenia...Guava Fig...Lemongrass Kiwi Cassis.

The White Gardenia is a classic soft floral.  We have received a few requests for this fragrance so we whipped up a small batch.  It is mild, not perfumey & really smells exactly like a fresh picked gardenia.


The Guava Fig is very interesting! It begins with top notes of Fuji apple slices, French cassis, and Kaffir lime leaves; followed by middle notes of Anjou pear, Rio red grapefruit, and sweet Valencia; sitting on bottom notes of Mediterranean fig, guava nectar, and Tahitian passion fruit. It is sweet & tart, but sophisticated.  We'll see what y'all think.


The Lemongrass Kiwi Cassis is my new favorite & will definitely be put into our main line! It's a refreshing and uplifting fragrance that begins with top notes of fresh lemon pulp, orange rinds and tropical kiwi; middle notes of eucalyptus, cassis, green tea, and bamboo; well-rounded with base notes of cedarwood and vanilla. 
I know you will love this one as much as I do...in a word, it's RidEEKulous!!!
