I really like the diptyque Feuille de Lavande candle. There is a review on it somewhere on this blog, I think. It's quite strong, I think 'brawny' was the word used, but once you get used to it, I find it addictive. With lavender, I've also had luck with some cheaper kinds, basic lavender aromatherapy from companies like Illume (if they still make them). Never did care for the one by l'Occitane though, not sure why. I would bet that the Red Flower lavender candle is quite nice–that's one I've been meaning to try as well.

One amber candle I've enjoyed a lot is the one I reviewed some time back by Potter & Moore, Orange Blossom & Amber. There is something elegant and steadying about it. Very nicely done. I did also, ahem, just pick up the Ambre candle by L'Artisan Parfumeur on ebay, but I've yet to try it!

If I think of any more, I'll let you know!

Yes, they are relatively cheap, but just be warned that they are also quite small!

I'm sure that packaging is gorgeous!!! I love Chinoiserie patterns!

Even a travel size hand cream is cheap at $5.99.

Their packaging really is charming–one of the handcremes has little red painted birds and leaves, a kind of Chinoiserie patter, that is absolutely gorgeous!

I adore Lollia's packaging but have never really tried their products, I should though.
