this sounds delightful – Voluspa do some lovely scents, but this Seasons line is especially cute with its gold-filigree style designs and colours.

Hi ZZ, your company looks really nice. I can imagine that you could come up with some divine candles based on your perfumes. I personally have never bought a candle in the same fragrances that I wear, but it seems like your formulas might lend themselves well. I think that smaller niche companies can do perfume/candles nicely ('Arstian Parfumeur doesn't replicate exactly, but works off the same theme from candle to perfume). But the one thing I would not want is a candle in an easily recognizable perfume (I got the image of Christian Diors Poison in a candle and feel overwhelmed already, lol).

I love candles in the same scent as a perfume, but the problem is they're so EXPENSIVE. One of my favourites is the Narciso Rodriguez candle in the same scent as the perfume, which is absolutely gorgeous – not heady and overpowering like I imagined a perfume-candle would smell. I think what deters a lot of people is the cost – why spent $80 on a candle, when you can get the EDP for $90?

ZZ: Well, the $95 candle was six inches across, two inches deep, four wicks and it came in a Chinese cast iron pot with cast-iron lid…antique looking. It smelled good too…black tea, aloeswood incense, plum, sandalwood. I was happy to find out last winter when I was looking to replace it that it is NO longer made! Money saved is money spent elsewhere….K

Kevin, will let you know when the Papier d'Armeni arrive. I saw that Aedes has something similar, but at fifty something dollards vs the six dollars I paid, I'll try the d'Armenie first!

ZZ, a glass of port and toasted walnuts sounds divine. One of my favorite candles of all time, particularly for cold dreary late Feb and March evenings is L'Artisan Parfumeur Mure Sauvage–reminiscent of blackberry jam to some people, but to me, it's pure happiness.

Kevin, dare I ask what the 95 candle was? And was it divine?

Ok, I guess then that I have been out of the candle loop.

PIA, That was an eye opener that you would favor a candle over a perfume. The more I think about it the more it make sense. Some people do not wear perfume for one reason or another, but would feel right at home with a candle.

Kevin, That $95. candle must have been one to savor. If I had purchased an expensive candle, you can bet I might burn it on a cold winters evening, all snuggled up with a glass of port and some toasted walnuts.

Thanks for sharing your opinions, this definitely gives me more to think about.

Best, Zz…….
