Phlur had lunched two limited-edition candles at the end of last year. I didn’t get a chance to pick them up when they just launched but recently while making an online Sephora order, I noticed Sweet Smoke (USD $45) was still available. After reading the description and notes, I decided to pick it up since the candle addict in me wouldn’t have it any other way, and of course, just look at the beautiful ceramic packaging. How could you resist?
Described as a medley of sweet moments and fireside memories, the Phlur Sweet Smoke candle comes in a 10.5 oz size, what I consider bigger than the standard size. It is one of the most amazing smoky candles I’ve ever burned. It’s hard to envision what sweet smoke smells like but they got it right with this. Here’s a photo of it beside my night-stand before it was lit.
Reminiscent of an evening spent snuggling around a crackling amber fire on a cold winter’s day, Sweet Smoke is a woody fragrance. Intimate and cozy, nostalgic and familiar, Sweet Smoke Candle pulls you back to the comfort and contentment of a crackling hearth on a winter day. Golden amber and aromatic woods mingle with creamy vanilla and roasted chestnuts tumbling into a cloud of smoky vetiver. It’s a familiar and nostalgic aroma that warms you and your home.
Here are the notes:
-Top notes of Golden amber, cocoa, wild birch;
-Heart notes of Vanilla, roasted chestnut, cedarwood
-Base notes: Peru balsam, smoky vetiver, tonka bean.
The throw is very good – strong enough to fill the entire room but not too sweet or strong. Though we’re now in spring, it is still perfect for this time of year as it still feels cool out, at least here in Canada.
It is still available on Sephora if you want to score one for yourself.
