Immense; Your Aromatic Experience
By Edena Klimenti
Have you ever been entirely consumed by the scent of a candle, so much so that you just wished you could turn your candle into a cream, a lotion, a body oil, a perfume, a shampoo and conditioner, or even sometimes wished it was edible? This particular scent may be so overpowering that you want it transformed into any form of cosmetics that you own and use daily, just so that you can be surrounded by the enchanting scent. You wish the scent was intertwined into the grapevine of your home. The scent is so powerful that it transports you to your most zen mind state, your most relaxed and calm mood, or perhaps it gives you a sense of nostalgia, reuniting you with your most precious, warm memories. Have you got a candle in mind? We do.
There is definitely a certain beauty about having time to yourself, cherishing your ‘me time’ and taking care of your mind and body. Maybe you’re in one of those moods. All you want is a cup of something warm and soothing, a good book and perhaps a warm bubble bath? The finishing touch is a mesmerising candle which transforms the atmosphere in the entire room, attacking and coating each of your senses with a rich and sweet aroma.
Janjira – Therapy Massage Candle ‘Art of Siam’ – Grapefruit & Tangerine
When it comes to those evenings, one of our favourite candles of choice is Janjira’s ‘Art of Siam’, Grapefruit & Tangerine. This candle is an experience in itself. After the candle has been lit and you have enjoyed the glowing, overpowering scent, you may blow out the candle and use the warm wax as a body oil, coating your skin in rich nutrients, leaving it with a silky glow and mesmerising aroma. Key ingredients such as soybean oil provide your skin with essential fatty acids, protein and vitamin e, promoting your skins natural moisture balance, essential for your skins repair. The coconut oil also helps restore moisture into your skin, leaving a beautiful natural glow. The wax can also be used in multiple ways; facial oil, body oil, massage oil and even as a moisturiser. This candle is perfect for a home spa treatment, allowing your skin to feel the benefits of massage oils, whilst enjoying the luxurious scent of grapefruit, tangerine and rhubarb.
