Essence Candles Asian Pear & Lily: Review

I have a soft spot for candles, to me a room isn’t its best or quite as a relaxing as it could be, without a candle softly burning and giving off its fragrant scent in it and as such I am always excited to come across new candle brands to try.

A few weeks ago Essence Candles kindly reached out to me Twitter and asked if I would like to try one of their candles and of course I said yes.

At the moment Essence Candles stock a range of 4 different fragrances, each of which is available in a 190ml candle tin or as I received a beautifully packaged 300ml jar in a box that is all tied up with a ribbon making for the perfect gift.

I was rather torn between Fresh Linen and Asian Pear & Lily, but I thought I would go for something a little different and I am so glad I did.

Asian Pear & Lily Essence Candle.

Honestly this has to be one of the most wonderful smelling candles I have ever used, there is something about the way the fragrances used are blended together that really offers something quite different, to anything I have ever used before.

The fragrance isn’t over powering, yet once lit it softly fills the room and offers a scent that suddenly wafts your way every now and again, which makes such a pleasant experience.

I always make Ash to smell candles and normally he just says ok then, but he actually took a sniff of this, looked at me and said oh that smells good – high praise indeed!

So what does is smell like?
It offers a fresh mix of a fruity and floral with a citrus burst that is complemented by the heart of fressia and jasmine – something that I think could really been enjoyed by many people.

As with all of Essence Candles Asian Pear & Lily is a hand poured candle, made from soy wax – in fact the whole process is done by hand from the adding of fragrance to the labelling. Each candle is made right here in the UK, in fact in Cumbria by a husband and wife team and really is something special.

Personally I shall be slowly treating myself to all the different fragrances from the range as well as looking to buy them as gifts, as they offer so a high quality candle.

The luxury gift wrapped version of the candles cost £18 while the tins cost £8, all of Essence Candles range can be brought from their Etsy shop and you can keep up to date with all the news on their Facebook and Twitter.

What do you think of the sound of these candles?
