I think when it comes to candles we all have a soft spot for them, don't we? I could drone on about my love for everything candle and while I would be absolutely telling you the truth I know you've heard it on hundreds of blogs before - so I won't.
I let it out the bag about my germ phobia a while back and that's mostly in and around the home for some reason, I'm not someone who won't shake a hand or touch doorknobs or anything as severe as that but when it comes to having a clean home I'm quite pernickety about ensuring there's no smells, dirt, clutter or bugs. The thing is the hairy boy is the complete opposite yet, he still enjoys a nice scent in the house (particularly likes vanilla) and wants to light candles a lot. And as much as he doesn't understand what makes a candle ''good'' he's definitely learning. He likes brands such as Yankee, Rituals and Neom.
Rituals have always been a brand that's been firmly on my radar and especially the reed diffusers and candles. I feel a sort of kinship with the brand as it feels very spiritual just as I am. I adore anything that has meaning behind it and the collections at Rituals definitely have some well-considered backstories.
I really believe that if a company sells body and beauty products as well as candles that if the candles are amazing you know the rest will be too. I've put this to the test many times and so far, I've yet to meet a Rituals product I disliked. Have you tried any that you've disliked?
This candle is the Sacred Fire candle by Rituals.
First off the packaging is gorgeous, rich colours, substantial materials and when you lift off the top of the box this is what you will find; again it's just packaging but it really reminds me of Buddha's and origami for some reason.
And the candle *sigh* I could actually tell what this was before I opened the package as it's scent is so noticeable, my post lady (girl power) was asking me about my parcel and was telling me she wanted it because the smell was so lovely. The candle itself burns for 50 hours, it's made with natural ingredients and is scented with White Patchouli and Cedarwood.
It smells warm and cosy like cashmere, musky and seductive with a hint of oriental flowers. I'd say it's definitely going to be loved more by females but, it can suit both genders, it's definitely one to burn for those stressful moments or if you plan to baby dance with your partner. The box also has some amazing wise words that I felt was inspiring
''The earthy and musky tones of White Patchouli will permeate your senses with feelings of excitement and positivity. Cedar has a soothing aroma that has been used since ancient times, and is an age-old symbol of immortality.''
Beautiful isn't it.
This is now no longer available, however, you can browse the Rituals range over on the Rituals website.
