2. Aquiesse Scented Candle Citrus Tea
Reference price: 140G/¥220
Selling points: good looks, size Many choices
Fragrance: citrus, Ceylon tea, exotic wood
Material: soy wax
I bought a lot of AQ candles during Double Eleven , it looks very delicate, especially the fire-painted LOGO, not to mention the extra face! Citrus tea is my favorite flavor among the ones I bought. After all, I am a citrus star~ It smells elegant citrus The fragrance makes the whole person feel better, and I don't frown when I sleep. Although the combination of natural essential oils and soy wax does not spread the fragrance well, it is suitable for people who don't like too strong smells. The best thing is that AQ has many sizes to choose from. If you like it, you can buy a 300g large package or a 56g small tin box. A small tin box only costs 60 yuan. If you are unsure about the smell, it is recommended to buy a small one first, so that you won’t feel any pain if you get hit by thunder.
3. Les parfums de rosine rose heart perfume candle
Reference price: 140G/¥360
Selling point: super high-end fragrance
< p> Fragrance: RoseMaterial: Vegetable Wax
When I went to Hong Kong a while ago, I went to a particularly fantastic perfume shop, which was filled with all kinds of niche salon fragrances. This rose heart is what I saw in the store. The entire brand of perfumes are rose-themed, and the fragrance is very high-end, not glamorous at all! This candle is from the perfume une folie de rose (rose madness) The same type of candle, strong but not kitsch, with an old-fashioned feel. There are also several flavors to choose from. I also like Forgiveness Green, which is rose + matcha. It has a very special smell, so pure and not artificial!
Bedroom aromatherapy recommendation
1. Les Parfums de Rosine
Price: 15 euros Size: 35g Burning time: about 10-15 hours
Other sizes: 200g price is 58 euros. The price is 46 euros for 140 grams
This brand of perfume is relatively famous and can be purchased in the United States. However, his candles are not available in the United States. You need to buy them from the European official website, but the shipping fee on the official website is simply more expensive than the candle itself. So I looked at eBay, and there was only one merchant selling it. Haha, the price looked a bit more expensive than the official website. I thought it was unlikely that this thing would be fake, so I bought it on eBay. The original price of the candle is 15 euros, but it is sold on eBay for 23 US dollars. When I got it, I found that the candle was really small. This is the smallest candle I have ever bought in my life! It can only burn for about 10 hours. And with such a small size, the fragrance diffusion is definitely not as good as candles with a large contact area with the air.
Les Parfums de Rosine’s products are all about roses. The fragrance I bought is: Rose d’Amour. This fragrance is naturally about roses. This one smells sweet, with more prominent berry notes and less obvious rose oil notes. When I smell it, I feel like eating it, and when I look at the red wax, it looks more like lip balm. Top notes are aldehydes (yes, aldehydes, he really wrote aldehydes), ginger, galbanum and bergamot; middle notes: orris, jasmine, rose oil, red berries and narcissus; base notes are nutmeg, oakmoss , pepper and vetiver. Will it burn? I won’t mention it anymore. Anyway, if the room is too big, it will have no smell. You can smell it if you're sitting next to it. There is not much black smoke. After all, the candle is too small! I will try to buy a bigger one in the future.
2. Tatine scented candle
Pure natural soy wax. Price ranges from 16 to 19 US dollars each. Burning time is 16 hours. 2 oz. It’s about the same size as the 35g ones from Les Parfums de Rosine, very small. But the glass bottle is a bit thicker, so it’s a bit heavy.
Purchase locations in the United States: Anthropologie.com, tatinecandles.com (official website).
There are four flavors on Anthropologie.com, and the official website sells more scents!! I bought Field of Grass and One Rainy Wish. I like both smells very much! And what I want to say is that this candle has a strong fragrance diffusion ability when it is not burning. Because the plane area of ??the candle is too small, it is not suitable for diffusing fragrance (little knowledge: the larger the surface area of ??the candle, the more suitable it is for diffusing fragrance. Because the candle oil plane formed after the candle melts has a larger area of ??contact with the air). The area of ??this candle is too small... I always feel like I can't smell anything when burning... But even if it is small, these two scents still smell very good (of course, "I personally" think these two scents smell very good. Skin care products still depend on your skin type, and the fragrance depends solely on your preference. It is recommended that if you are unable to try out scents, you should first buy the smallest size candle. You can check the essential oil ingredients in the scented candle before buying to get a rough idea of ??whether you like the smell. . Of course, there are also scents that each smell good, but the combination is weird...) This brand of candles has a nice name and a very distinctive smell. It's not the luxury and rich fragrance of big brands like Diptyque and Jo Malone London; it's not the scent of Voluspa that carries a fruity aroma in the warm air and makes people feel like they're on vacation; nor is it the sweetness of a simple little woman like Tocca. Sweet floral aroma. More like: In the afternoon after the summer rain, make a cup of scented tea, read a book, and slowly wait for the lazy aroma of time slipping away. To put it bluntly, it is suitable for small (zhuang) Qing (bi) new people. Field of Grass: The scent of freshly cut lawn, accompanied by the sweet scent of daisies. One Rainy Wish: After a summer rain, the mist blends with the fragrance of blue roses and white roses.
Disadvantages: Its candle wick is prone to burnt mushroom heads, but it uses all-natural plant soy wax. Therefore, it is not easy to produce black smoke after a long burning time, so if you have a mushroom head, just use a mushroom head...
3. Voluspa Lace Glass Scented Candle
The king of cost performance. Pure natural coconut wax.
Small lace bottle: $20, 50 hours burn time, no lid. 6.2 oz.
Large lace bottle: $28, 100 hours of burn time, with lid. 16 oz
I bought it at Anthropologie.com. I bought two scents: French Cade: a fresh scent that combines French juniper wood, lavender, verbena and moss. Mokara: Mokara, white lily, spring moss. Voluspa is an American brand. Founded by a couple 10 years ago. Voluspa's candles are very cost-effective, and they all use coconut wax (Hawaiian coconut wax), not the paraffin wax commonly used by Diptyque and Jo Malone. The fragrance is very pure, not as complex as some big brands. The style of aromatherapy is very "Hawaiian". Moreover, there are coconut scented candles. Other brands rarely have coconut scented candles. The advantage is that the scent is very "holiday style" and suitable for relaxing your mood/body and mind. It is also easy to form flat wax pools. The disadvantage is probably that the candle wick can easily turn into a mushroom head, but there is not much black smoke during burning. After it is extinguished, it emits a lot of smoke, but the smell is still very annoying. Large jar candles with lids can be extinguished directly with the lid. Candles in small bottles without lids must be extinguished with tools or other objects.
Supplement: Recently, the black bottled candles released by Voluspa have begun to be high-end and big-name scented. When I smelled it, it was relatively neutral, but there was still a hint of their holiday style in it. Ready to buy later.
4. NEOM organic scented candles
Plant wax and pure natural essential oils.
Price:
01. Ordinary size + one wick, 30 pounds. 185g, burn time 35 hours.
02. The largest one with three wicks (I didn’t buy it here), 45 pounds, 420 grams, burning time 50 hours.
03. Smallest travel size, £16. 75g, burn time 20 hours.
04. Didn’t buy beauty candles. It's the one that can be extinguished after use. After extinguishing, pour the wax oil on the body to beautify the beauty candle. The melting point of organic candles is very low, generally 30 degrees Celsius, so they will not get burned.
Where to buy Neom scented candles: Neom Organics UK official website, Net-a-porter.com. Fedex, which is used by Fedex in my area of ??the United States, said it would take 4-6 working days, but it actually took three days. It was very fast. Some items on the official website can be sent to China. It seems that candles are not acceptable, but other skin care products or other indoor fragrances should be able to be sent. As for candles, you may only be able to send them to China if you buy a set that comes with a candle. For your first order, you will get a 15% discount after subscribing to their emails.
I bought six scents:
01. Complete Bliss, containing Moroccan rose, lime, and black pepper essential oils
02. Tranquillity, British lavender , sweet basil, jasmine
03. Real Luxury, lavender, jasmine, and Brazilian ebony
04. Happiness, white orange blossom, mimosa, lemon
05. Sensuous, ylang-ylang, frankincense, patchouli
06. Feel Refreshed, Sicilian lemon, fresh basil
NEOM Organics is a British home fragrance brand. The waxes used are all natural plant waxes, not paraffin wax. And the essential oils contained in it are also purely natural. As mentioned before, paraffin wax has a high melting point, a melting point of 60 degrees Celsius. The melting point of vegetable wax is 30 degrees Celsius. Of course there are other differences between vegetable wax and paraffin wax, but I'm lazy...and don't care. When it burns, no matter how long it burns and how black the candle tip is, it will not emit black smoke, nor will it form mushroom heads due to burning for too long. This is much better than Diptyque and Jo Malone London! And it forms a flat wax pool very quickly! The color scheme of the outer packaging is so beautiful that you don’t need it. However, Neom also has its shortcomings. For example: pure cotton candle wick is too thick and difficult to cut short. The last time I cut the candle wick, it was difficult to cut it short. I also ground the candle wick into scattered threads, which made the candle almost unable to burn... Originally, the purpose of cutting the candle wick short was to make it burn. It is more uniform and easy to form a flat wax pool. However, Neom candle wicks do not need to be cut during initial use because wax pools are easily formed... Other JML and Diptyque candles must be cut. As the burning time increases, the candle wicks become long, black, and have mushroom heads. The bursts of black smoke are really annoying. The candle wick cannot be cut too short or left too long. But the specific length to leave depends on everyone's control.
5. P.F. Candle Co. Scented Candles
Pure soy wax. The price-performance ratio is also good! It is more cost-effective than land by land, and the usage experience is very similar. I bought it for $18 and has a 40-hour burn time.
They have three sizes:
Mini (3.5 ounces): $11, can burn between 20 and 25 hours. The smallest size, suitable for traveling, putting in the toilet, or trying out the smell.
Standard ordinary size (7.2 ounces): $18, can burn for 40-50 hours, which is the size I bought. Suitable for average size rooms.
Large (14 oz): $32, burn time 40-50 hours. Suitable for placement in the living room or larger space.
I saw it for sale at the Urban Outfitters physical store. The jar looked very retro, and then I smelled it. I quite liked some of the smells. It was a big jar and the price was right. The scent I bought is: Amber & Moss: musk, amber, lavender, sage, orange. It turns out that the candles Urban placed outside had probably been left out for too long and were no longer smelly. After buying it, I noticed that the scent is quite strong. And the one I bought is extremely neutral. The scent of musk and amber is particularly obvious, and I can't smell the rest of the lavender and orange. The advantage is that Super Invincible easily forms a flat wax pool. The main reason is probably that this candle is made of 100% soy wax, which has a very low melting point. But the other so-called 100% pure soy wax I have bought will not melt so quickly. And there is very little black smoke whether it is extinguished or burned. Going to buy it and try other flavors.
6. Thann scented wood series smokeless scented candles
Paraffin wax. 190 grams, $32, can burn for 30 hours. Thann Aromatic Wood Aromatherapy Candle
At that time, I purchased it from Thann’s official website in the United States! It uses 100% natural essential oil base, no artificial fragrance, and the wax used in the candle is paraffin. The aroma of orange and nutmeg is energy-boosting and uplifting. Compared to other paraffin wax brands, thann seems to form flat wax pools faster. The taste is very distinctive. Very Southeast Asian... This smell makes me feel like I am at home in a temple. There is slight black smoke during burning. But there was still a lot of black smoke when it went out. Comes with a plastic white lid that can cover and extinguish candles.
7. LAFCO HOUSE & HOME home series scented candles
Soy wax and paraffin wax. $60, 90 hours of burning time.
LAFCO is an American fragrance brand. Each candle of different scents has its own unique and differently colored glass container (all hand-blown glass containers). And these candles have names for different rooms in the home/house.
Use common room names as Bedroom, Bathroom, and Office. Uncommon houses are probably: Lake House, Beach House, Music Room, Library, who lights candles in the library, and Meditation Room? . According to different types of rooms, LAFCO creates different fragrances that are suitable for that room. Very interesting design idea. But I bought a lake house and a bathroom. I won’t light candles in the bathroom, and I don’t have a lake house. .
The basic information is:
Where to buy: Those in the United States can buy it at LAFCO’s official website in the United States, Nordstrom, BeautyBar, and a large number of websites just search Google. $60 each. The wax chosen is soy blended wax (a mixture of soy wax and other types of wax)
Burning time/time: 90 hours
The advantage is that there are many flavors and you can always choose My own heart beats. Moreover, the glass bottles are as beautiful as each other. The disadvantage is that it burns a little slowly, and the flat wax pool is far away. Sometimes the candle wick is crooked and the burning becomes even more uneven. If you have obsessive-compulsive disorder like me, it’s very uncomfortable to watch.

Tips and suggestions for choosing aromatherapy
1. Be sure to choose natural soy wax. If the price is over 100 yuan, consider it carefully.
2. The completeness of the burning of the wax pool is also a scoring criterion. Some people say that if the diptyque is not fully burned, you can wrap a circle of tinfoil around the wall. What?! Although it is useful, I don’t want to spend that energy at all. The burning is incomplete. Not only does it affect the appearance, but the fragrance diffusion is also insufficient. Currently, the wax pools that have better combustion integrity are black blaze, Apotheke, and p.f candle.co
3. The diffusion ability of fragrance is also one of the assessment criteria. Byredo, black blaze and le labo are all very good. , le labo's fig smell is something to consider carefully, it spreads so well that you feel sick after a few minutes.
4. Regarding the choice of fragrance, aromatherapy is different from perfume. The smell of aromatherapy is mainly pleasant and not as personal as perfume, so I recommend choosing woody or green leafy ones. , if you like floral fragrances, it is recommended to smell a sample in advance before deciding to buy, because the sweet floral and fruity fragrance will become boring after a long time, and it is not easy to calm people. There are also some scents, such as tobacco, lake, patchouli and musk. Unless you have smelled it and can accept or prefer this type of scent, don't buy it blindly.
A few tips: When lighting a candle for the first time, you must burn it until the wax pool is flat. If the wax itself cannot form a complete wax pool, don’t wait any longer. Do not burn it for more than 1 and a half hours. Pay attention. Observe the candle wick. If it turns black severely, black smoke will emit. Remember to extinguish it at this time. Be sure to trim the candle wick before lighting it next time. If you don't have a professional candle wick cutter, you can use a paper towel to gently twist off the black part, leaving about 2mm in length.
I like fragrance at home, but I can only tolerate very light fragrances. The fragrance of Jurlique Rose Hand Cream can knock me out, and the sandalwood from family members will give me a headache.
I have tried both very expensive and cheap ones, and found that light-scented popular brands seem to suit me better than expensive brands. Currently, Zara Home’s black vanilla in the cloakroom has a slightly sweet light scent in a small, enclosed space. It is discounted at 199 but not at 300. Less than. Brutalist basil flower in the bathroom, hundreds of pieces are enough to spread out, so you don’t feel bad when you use it slowly. The MUJI diffuser in the living room uses some unique small bottles of essential oils purchased from various places when traveling, such as Southern French lavender, and several bottles are rotated. The bedroom is unscented. I have a candle and aromatherapy cup when I am in a mood at home or when I eat hot pot. Because the frequency is too small, the three cups of jo malone and jurlique have not been used up yet. .
If you like light fragrance, I recommend the light herbal fragrance of izola. Only after using it will you know what is delicate and what is pure and natural without any additives. I interviewed a perfumer from Dyptique. It is impossible to add fragrances to the aromatherapy products that cost RMB 100 or 200 on the market. If the smell is strong, it must be due to the fragrance. If it is only used in the bathroom, it doesn’t matter, but it will still have an impact if you smell it for a long time. ha. In particular, you should pay attention to whether the burned wax oil has many impurities. If there are many impurities, don't use it. It's as low-key as izola. Only after using it will you know how good you are!
I have used EMMAMOLLY's scented candles. The price is very affordable. I bought it with the idea of ??giving it a try, and then I became my true love. For powders, I have used Voluspa and Jomalone, and I feel that their products are not inferior to these big brands. They are all vegetable waxes, with a light and elegant fragrance and are very comfortable. Recently, the categories have become more and more abundant, and there are good choices for giving away to others for personal use.
