WIN! a gift box of candles from the white company

it’s no lie, i am a big fan of candles. not everyone’s bag, but i do enjoy a candle or two. many many moons ago i used to buy candles for a living for a well-known retailer. it was most enjoyable.

there are many things that i love about candles the gentle light and the scent that drifts and lingers in the air.

scent is a very personal choice, and the quality of the scent is all down to the quality of the fragrance and the wax used to create the perfect balance. the quality of the wax and the wicks ensure the perfect burn.

the white company signature candles have all of the above qualities. fragrances developed by master perfumers at artisan fragrance houses. They are all filled in the uk using the highest quality mineral wax, and the wicks have a firm wax core that ensures a long, clean and even burn.

chosing a scent can be tricky business, and the white company think that you should choose your scent in the same way you would a perfume. it should be a personal statement, maybe something that suits the occasion or mood that you may want to create.  you can read here what key notes are best suited to which room in your home. please never leave candles burning unattended.

what is really quite wonderful is that the white company have given me a gift box of three candles to giveaway to you lovely bunch of readers. two of their signature candles with lids thrown in and a limited edition votive too.
