Introducing my all-time favourite candle brand - Linnea Light's.
Run by a mother & daughter team in Indiana, USA their elegant candles are handpoured & handpackaged, all-natural & 100% soy.
The soy wax burns perfectly to fill your home with a luxury fine fragrance, highly aromatic without being overpowering. They're made with pure essences & lead-free cotton wicks which burn very cleanly- a world away from more commercial sooty candles.
Each candle comes thoughtfully packaged in recycled materials & handstamped with soy ink.
The best thing about these candles are the scents, delicious pure fragrances such as; 'Belgium Linen', 'Cashmere' & 'Ocean' there are no overly sweet cookie scents to be found here.
My favourites have been;
'Winter' - I bought four of these limited edition candles & burnt them from Halloween right up until now, my winter has been scented with the utterly comforting aroma of log burning fires, subtle spices & cranberry.
'Cashmere' - a sophisticated fragrance of vanilla & patchouli that wraps you in its warm scent, a sensory cashmere blanket to banish those winter blues.
'Ocean' - is a calming citrusy scent evocative of breezy summer air, it transports you barefooted to the beach on a lazy summers day.
Each candle provides over 60 hours burn time & is triple scented to ensure the subtle fragrance keeps going right till the end. They have two wicks so the wax burns down very evenly, something that most companies don't include in candles of this size.
In my opinion these come out on top of my previous candle favourites such as Jo Malone & Diptyque, which despite being roughly double the price, don't burn as nicely & come in heavier more cloying scents.
It's a nice little surprise to open the box & find a sweet box of matches stuck inside lid. The attention to detail & quality of the packaging is exceptional.
I think these candles make the perfect gift for pretty much any occasion, I have given them as extra Wedding presents, housewarming gifts & for Birthdays. With Valentine's Day just round the corner they would make the perfect little pick me up for your nearest & dearest.
Linnea Light's are more widely available in the US & are somewhat tricky to track down here in the UK. I get mine from Les Sardines a lifestyle antiques shop in the heart of Abbeville Village, South-West London. You can order them online via their website, but if you are able to I would seriously recommend a trip to this beautiful destination store.
They stock a constantly changing handpicked selection of Swedish & French antiques, unique home decor items, alongside Linnea Light's & handmade Italian Soaps. You can find them here!

I've really gotten in to candles recently but go for £10 and under really. These sound divine and the matches and attention to detail make it feel more worth price. They sound amazing, I think I'll have to put a couple on my birthday list as they're a bit too much of a luxury for every day purchase. Although I have already clicked through to explore more haha. It's nice that the scents are all natural, spot on with the 'sweet cookie' comparison, they overly sweet scents of yankee candles really out me off the hype. M xo
ReplyDeletep.s cloying is one of the best words ever !
p.p.s you should turn the captche setting off your comment box. It makes it much easier for people to comment :)

DeletePerfect thing to put on your birthday list! They really are worth it the hefty price tag & its always nice to get a bit of luxury on your bday :)
Delete& yes I was referring to yankee candles!- I bought a couple a few years ago & my house reeked of artificial sugar for weeks.
