Hi folks, so I have another home fragrance post for you.
Candle: LAFCO Candle in Chamomile Lavender
Availability: This is available at bluemercury.com, neimanmarcus.com, nordstrom.com, macys.com and bloomingdales.com along with their physical store locations along with lafco.com. The retail pricing is as follows: $20 for 4 oz., $46 for 6.5 oz., $70 for 15.5 oz., and $105 for 30 oz.
Would I buy this again?: I want to say yes, but my wallet wants to slap me.
Notes: Here is a scent description from lafco.com: Crisp bergamot and warm chamomile melt into a calm undertone of lavender, sage, eucalyptus and smoky patchouli.
Here's what I'm getting from smelling the candle cold - I want to cry, I thought this candle smells SO GOOD until I read about the patchouli and now that's all I smell. Initially it has this bright citrusy scent with a hint of floral grounded by the patchouli... which I suppose is there when you smell for it.
As the wax warms and burns, the scent intensifies, I feel like ginger is still the most prominent scent to me but I do pick up on the citruses in the background.

I find this candle melts and burns very well; it has a throw that smells up my entire room.
I feel like, other than the higher-quality fragrances used in the candles, what drives the pricing up is that each is in a hand-blown glass jar. While this definitely adds an element of novelty and luxury I just feel like it's quite the clever marketing tactic to get you to pay exorbitant prices for candles.
