You may want to read the other Red Flower reviews here on the blog--reactions are a bit mixed, depending on the scent. This lily definitely gets a thumbs up from me, but despite popular opinion, I was less than overwhelmed by their blood orange candle. You could perhaps start by purchasing a travel size (I believe they are about $12) and then see how you like it--they do have a nice array of natural scents to chose from. Kevin just reviewed the Monogram line not too long ago...so you may want to also check that out! Otherwise, on spring scents....I'm trying to get my paws on the Sweet Pea candle by diptyque (my mother got one, ahem, for mother's day, now if I can just 'borrow' it?) but I can imagine it would be a great springtime scent. Otherwise, late/spring early summer, Tilleuls au Vent (Linden Blossom) by L'Artisan is exquisite--albeit pricey. Smells just like the linden tree in a nearby park!

I'm shopping around for a springy candle right now, but have never run across Red Flower before. I have a lilac candle from Pacifica which is nice, but doesn't have much throw at all. Right now I'm eyeing Archipelago's Monagram Line ("I" for Iris & Sweet Pea, & "K" for Key Lime & Bergamot). Oooh! do try the lilac and tell us!

(And it's so seasonally appropriate! lol). I agree...I love the way they stay close to the natural scents, and I enjoy their products. I've tried some body products as well--the Hammam line and Japan line--love the way they are packed with natural fragrances.

In general, I really like the whole Red Flower line, and also have several of their lotions and shower gels. Good stuff, usually very true to the natural fragrances.

Next time I think I will take it to the register. Great review. A local store has these candles and whenever I visit I pick this one up, but invariably put it down again.
