Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you.
Candle: NEST Rose Noir & Oud
Availability: This can be purchased at $18 for a 2 oz. candle, $46 for an 8.1 oz. candle, or at $74 for a 21.1 oz. candle.
Would I buy this again?: How do I put this? My heart says yes but my wallet says step away from the candle girl!
Notes: The scent description sounds rather questionable given my preferences - Rose de Mai, Patchouli, Incense they say.
As you folks may know, depending how long you've either known me or have read this blog - I don't like patchouli and I'm not fond of scents that one would describe as "earthy" - hence pure incense is also a scent that I don't love. Oud overall is a hit or miss for me depending on what it's mixed with but even as a hit I tend to like those hit scents, I don't LOVE them. Anyhow...
I don't know how to explain this scent other than to say that the earthy tones tend to somehow intermingle with the sweetness of the rose without overpowering it... which isn't common; they give the rose depth that a sweet rose scent wouldn't have on its own... making it sexy yet somehow... empowered?

As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, though it doesn't change.
