There’s no better time than now to dive into the world of scented candles. With lockdowns and stay-at-home orders being enforced, I look to the comfort of my home and its interiors for some peace and warmth.
I’m also getting in the holiday spirit more and more as the days go by! Burning warm and cozy home scents are one of the best ways to put me in the mood for the holiday season. The scented candle appears to have become a source of refuge from all the chaos from the outside word. But a candle also adds touch of luxury and personality to any room. After a long day, the sight of a burning candle and its sweet aromas just put me in a state of serenity.
Whether it’s uplifting for those early mornings, or promoting a sense of well-being, a scented candle can set the perfect home ambiance. There are many candle brands to choose from, ranging in sizes and quality and price! What’s important to me is knowing that a candle is made from all-natural and non-toxic ingredients. Also, you can tell the quality of the fragrance – lighting up a candle should fill any room with its sweet aromas within 30 minutes of burning.
I was introduced to Karl Winters recently, a scent branding company based in Montreal. Its founder & CEO, Feras Ray Zikra, previously made branded candles for leading hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton and Fairmont. Yesterday, they launched a beautiful collection of stylish, modern candles – each housed in art inspired packaging, designed in France, and hand-poured in Montreal. I received Under the Fig Tree, a scent story inspired by the aromas of the Mediterranean Fig Tree in the South of France. This is an irresistibly soft, milky, and earthy fragrance that I will enjoy burning for an hour or two in the living room or even kitchen. If you love earthy scents you will absolutely adore this! Their candles are made with an all-vegan natural blend of soy, coconut and beeswax, which is healthier choice for my family. The 8 ounce colored jar is housed in beautiful “art-inspired” rigid box, which makes for a special gift this holiday Season.
Bottom line, just a beautiful candle. I think it’s gorgeous and I can’t wait to try the other scents. I see this brand becoming one of my absolute favorites.
P.S. The collection is available now through Kickstarter, with a limited time offer running that include a FREE candle lid with the purchase of a candle.
