As I was buying my candles online (no time for shops at the moment) I was unable to choose based on smell - odd for this kind of purchase I know! So I decided to try a highly recommended brand taking a risk on the scents but not on the quality. I therefore opted for the popular and natural based Neom range in 75g pots costing £13 each. The smaller than my average purchase size of candle but also smaller price tag allowed me to rid myself of all gilt for guessing at which scents I would prefer. Neom candles are made natural vegetable waxes and pure essential oils rather than artificial fragrances and paraffin wax.
I eventually opted for 'Tranquillity' (English lavender, sweet basil and jasmine) and 'Sensuous' (Ylang Ylang, frankincense and Patchouli) and on first smell prefered the 'Tranquillity' scent being much fresher and zestier than the 'Sensuous' scent. However this may be different after being lit and allowing the aroma to perfume a room. I know generally the larger sized candles produce a stronger scent but I am hoping the smaller Neom candles will give me the confidence to splash out later in the year on one of their 3 wick candles priced at £37. I have not burnt either of the candles yet but will be tonight so I will post an update of my opinion after an evening of either pure tranquillity or sensuousness. However my first opinion is they both smell utterly gorgeous and I much prefer the idea of something more nautural ingrediant based. So far I love them.
I bought my candles from Beautybay.com along with some other products I will be reviewing soon.
These include:
Alpha H - Liquid Gold
Philip Kingsley - Pure silver shampoo
Ciate - Nail varnish in skinny jeans
