Candle My Life!

We barely do know that some scandinavian brands offer some wonderful scented candles, inspired by the scandinavian nature, the history of the monarchy or peaceful landscapes of the countryside or the coast.

There is long and strong tradition in Scandinavia about the candles. inside many houses, the scandinavian families light some candles on the edge of the windows during the long winter days. The industry of candle making used to be really important during many decades in Scandinavia.

Among these company, we can figure out one, which exists ince more than 30 years, a family-founded company in Denmark, in the area of Jutland. This is ester & erik. They recently launched a range of scented candles under the name "a nordic scent of pure nature". Each of these candles has a traditional, Danish name inspired by the history of our country and generations of Kings and Queens. And the scent of each candle is inspired by the nature of Denmark. From deep forests to wide oceans, from the breath-taking landscapes to wild flowers growing everywhere. One of the emblematic candle of this range is Christian. Great parts of Denmark are covered with woods where you can take a peaceful stroll and enjoy all shades of green, from the delicate, bright colours of the birch to the deep, warm shades of the pine and coniferes.

We recently discover an adorable brand of skincare, cosmetics, etc... It’s called YARD ETC’s. All the products are carefully crafted by garden enthusiasts in Sweden. The smells contain natural ingredients, the scented candle range is poured with organic soy wax into a nice tiny box.

We have choosen to try "oak moss". The smell of the wet forest from the deep woods where the trolls live. The aroma is rich and earthly with a distinct fragrance of wet woodland. A deep, rich aroma of wood, earth and moss. The scent of oakmoss was once upon a time used by Native Americans to treat respiratory diseases.  It's a really masculine fragrance, quite mordern, that will match perfectly to the modern scandinvian interior.

Empire de Cire Trudon nous emmène dans le tumulte rageur et guerrier des grandes campagnes Napoléonnienes : "Le pin, la sauge et le foin font vibrer l'air de ce campement napoléonien, aux accents de cade et de maquis. La chaleur joyeuse et enveloppante du thym, de la marjolaine et du romarin sonne comme un fifre. Un moment de paix, entre chien et loup, après les combats, une tente impériale d'où s'exhale une senteur exemplaire, couronnée par la force du laurier."
