Meet the Scents

Each candle in the Baker's Box is thoughtfully crafted to evoke a distinct baking-inspired aroma:

• Vanilla Madeleine: A sweet, buttery fragrance reminiscent of the delicate French pastry. Its creamy vanilla notes are warm and inviting, making it ideal for creating a relaxed ambiance.
• Spiced Gingerbread: This scent captures the festive spirit with its cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger blend. It's perfect for setting a cozy mood during chilly evenings or holiday get-togethers.
• Chocolate Biscotti: Rich and indulgent, this candle offers a deep cocoa aroma balanced by a hint of roasted almonds. It's like a sweet treat for your senses without the calories.

Why I Love It

What I adore about the Baker's Box is how these scents fill the room with warmth and familiarity. Each candle is a mini escape, evoking memories of family baking sessions or the comforting aroma of a bakery. The compact size of the candles also makes them perfect for gifting or using in a variety of settings, from cozy living rooms to intimate dining areas.

Thoughtful Design

In true Maker style, the candles come housed in elegant glass jars that are as beautiful as they are functional. The minimalist design, with its clean lines and understated elegance, fits seamlessly into any decor, adding a touch of sophistication to the nostalgic theme.

The Aganice Perfumed Candle

If you are anything like me, then having a home that smells good is essential to feeling comfortable. Aesop has a range of scented candles that light up your spaces. The Aganice scent is ideal year-round and delivers a long-lasting floral and spicy aroma. The female astronomer of Ancient Greece, “Aganice, ” inspired it.” She was known for her deep knowledge of the moon and its cycles.

The white-colored wax is infused with Cardamom, Mimosa, and Tobacco, which offers a rich and comforting scent to any space it is placed in. The Aganice candle plunges us back into the atmosphere of Cape Spartel in Tangier. Formulated with vegan-friendly ingredients, this refreshing candle measures: 86 mm/3.4″ diameter x 104 mm/4.1″ height. Aesop's candle has an average burn time of 55-65 hours and should be lit for up to 2 hours at a time.

The Design

The Aganice candle has a pure and minimalistic design to it. The pure white wax reflects light inside a white tinted glass holder. Ideal for placing in medium-sized spaces, the candle easily matches interior decors.

On the front side of the candle, the Aesop logo is engraved.

How To Care For Your Candle?

To get the most out of your scented candles, there are a few steps you can follow:

• For the first use, allow the entire surface of the candle to melt.
• Keep the wick trimmed at around 0.5cm in length.
• Keep the wick centered throughout the uses by centering it before the candle sets.
• Lastly, place the candle on a flat surface to allow an even melting of the wax.

My Review

I was very excited to discover Aesop's range of scented candles, and Aganice did not disappoint. The aromatic candle was gifted to me and had me wondering why I didn't buy it earlier. The white candle releases a gentle and long-lasting aroma into the room. I placed my candle in the living space as it set a relaxing and soft ambiance. Although the candle is a little pricey, I recommend buying it. The wax melts slowly; for example, my candle lasted two months! (Burning it two hours at a time)

Overall, Aganice's perfume really makes my home feel welcoming with the blend of warm floral notes and tobacco. This candle is now on my repurchase list!

The ” Vanquish” Story

This scented candle sets the scene of a dense forest, rich in century-old trees. The damp scent of the undergrowth and earth rises to meet the newly blossoming flowers.

The Notes

Here are the listed notes found in the candle's fragrance:

Top notes: Green Rose Bud, Rosewater. The first scent is a burst of freshness. With a rich aquatic rose note.

Heart: Incense, Ginger. Following is a more intense note. Adding a touch of mystery to our floral bouquet. Almost like the shade from the trees above.

Base: Cedarwood, Guaiac Woods, Cistus Labdanum. And last is a down-to-earth, deeply rooted touch. This is the woody forest.

My Experience

Having tested multiple candles, I would recommend Vanquish. With a subtle touch, this candle is perfect for smaller spaces or a softer touch in a bedroom or bathroom. I lit the candle for a period of 2h each time and the fragrance lasted the majority of the day. The scent leaves a beautiful calm ambience, I particularly enjoyed it on an evening. Bear in mind that you have regularly cut the wick to keep your candle burning correctly!

I found the minimalist design very elegant and perfect for decorating the room. With a 240g size, it fits perfectly on a smaller shelf or surface.

For Summer fragrance, I am enjoying this one from Byredo.

Something I immediately notice when visiting someone's house is the scent it has.

I found the perfect balance between freshness & sweetness, leaving all my guests curious. Recently I picked two products from Carriere Freres: the diffuser and candle. A difficult choice, but I ended up selecting La Rose Aime La Menthe range.

La Rose Aime La Menthe

Originally discovered in Turkey, the Damascus Rose is the heart of this range. Wrapped in fresh spearmint, it offers a vibrant character to your home. A home being shared should feel comfortable to everyone. With a feminine floral, green touch. This range is balanced out with a more masculine cold, a mint that slowly overpowers the rose.

With a large range of candles, diffusers, room sprays, etc. Carrière Frères cover all grounds in your home. Delicately handcrafted products from their workshop don't just smell good but also have significant benefits:

-Soothes anxiety, tension & sleeping problems.

-Encourages letting go, relaxed environment.

Candle

Using vegetable scented wax from organic European rapeseed, they offer a long-lasting scent that travels through each room of the house. Not at all overpowering, they add character to your house. I just can't get enough!

Handy facts:

Weight: 185g

Dimensions: 9cm high, 7.5cm wide

I found these candles to be a good size for decor. Their burn time is approximately 40 to 45 hours. Having used mine nearly every day, it lasted one month.

Tips: Try not to burn the candles for more than 2 hours each time, this is enough fragrance for the day. Also, burn them until the entire surface has liquefied and always protect the surface on which the candle rests.

Diffuser

This product is high on the sustainability list, using rattan sticks, a recyclable cork stopper, and 100% recyclable glass. Offering a continuous diffusion of perfume compared to the candle. I use this product in my hallways and bathroom. Flip the sticks every 4-5 days for a regular scent.

Handy facts:
