So much for high-end quality. So far Jo Malone is doing great though.

I was...I know what you mean about high-end candles. I was also very reluctant to pay for them. Then during cosmetics reductions in Breuninger I picked up a Diptyque candle a few years ago. It smells so divine, I couldn't stop burning it. Good thing with these is that they last very very long, like months if not a year. So if one can just buy a few and enjoy them, it is not that expensive after all (I am thinking a few eurs per month...) I have to now sniff green tomato leaf candle too lol.sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-21600715214779015112015-01-09T04:05:51.503+01:002015-01-09T04:05:51.503+01:00Hi Sara, you are so right in that Diptyque candles...Hi Sara, you are so right in that Diptyque candles don't all burn well... i was very disappointed with last year's Rosamundi in particular. i'm so glad you are enjoying various scented candles now... it definitely is an expensive rabbit hole... you're literally burning money!! ;PLindahttp://silverkis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-8756915862593312392015-01-08T22:40:55.063+01:002015-01-08T22:40:55.063+01:00Ooh, I love spicy floral scents!

You are right the ingredients are not indicated but it can be because I don't have the box, since mine is a PR sample. Out of curiosity I checked Diptyque, from which I have some boxes. These are also without ingredients. It seems since these are not cosmetics maybe it is allowed to not write the ingredients? Also on perfumes most of the time ingredients are not written, these are perfume and wax combination, but is there something else to make them heat resistance?sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-9331573875013845392015-01-08T20:54:59.618+01:002015-01-08T20:54:59.618+01:00Yes! there is something about the warm spices and ...Yes! there is something about the warm spices and rose combination which makes it especially nice for winter time.sawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11709563883992725006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-45654175583882968612015-01-08T20:54:28.126+01:002015-01-08T20:54:28.126+01:00Hi Jenny,

I have to take a sniff on this. But probably won't buy it. I don't know how to explane - but I see expensive candles as a total waste of money. I know, they might be better, have more interesting fragrances etc. But hey, yankee candle tarts do that as well - and I have maaany of them.<br />BUT! The green tomato leaf candle by Jo smells amazing, I have to smell it every time I'm at Jo Malone!

And unfortunately, there are a range of problematic ingredients that I would not wish to be inhaling especially without ventilation from an open window, which kind of defeats the purpose. Scented candles are known overall to contain problematic ingredients. But nowhere on line does Jo Malone reveal the ingredients in her candles. It is one thing to read an ingredient list and make an informed decision and another to not be given that opportunity-- so these are a pass for me.Alisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04060096283049889051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-65673474930357878082015-01-08T05:45:35.314+01:002015-01-08T05:45:35.314+01:00Winner!!!
