Sigh...another Cire Trudon lemming, like I didn't have enough already. The new Salta candle: "Blended with verbena and hyacinth, the grapefruit fragrance is aromatic. Considered by the Chinese as one of the three holy fruits with peach and lemon, the grapefruit was a symbol of prosperity and fertility. Also highly prized by the Greeks and the Romans, the hesperide has a crisp freshness: known for its rich terroir and unique soil, the Salta region enhances the citrus’ intensity." 270g for $115 (ouch, somebody tell me next time they have a coupon) at Beautyhabit.
Mega-lemming. Not going for that price either, though I love the cobalt glass.
On an unrelated lemming topic, have to thank you for mentioning Colombian black tea, which would have otherwise remained overlooked by me. Got the Harney version, which I enjoy very much as an afternoon pick me up, and will try the Upton offerings in the future.
aannd just got a spring break sale email from Beautyhabit:
15% off $75 with code spring15 and 20% off $150 with code spring20. Sitting on my hands.
OH MY. Hyacinth and grapefruit. I am not at all sure I’ll manage to sit on my hands. Hmmm.
So glad you like the tea!
The price will keep my hands from doing something naughty. ?
I am so tempted but not going to do it! I love cobalt blue, one of my favorite colors….. And I’m sure that scent is amazing. But nope… Sitting on my hands also.
I have it in a cart, but luckily they are, so far, out of all the “normal” things I would have bought anyway and could therefore use to push my bill up to $150 and get the 20% off.
Even at 20%, that’s way more than I’d normally spend on a candle.
But hyacinth and verbena and grapefruit, boy am I tempted.
I’ll be the naughty enabler, Cire T lasts for a long time and throws a very good scent. I’ve been finishing one of my holiday candles from them just now! Burn an hour and the room is scented.
I’m very tempted by this, wonderful for spring. We are getting a spring aren’t we? Please give us spring.
If we don’t get spring soon I am going to buy 3 of the candles.
*looks at scent notes* Oh yes! I’ll take two!
*looks at price, even with coupon* Oy!
😀
What was my deal-killer was my cats who *need* to be on top of all surfaces. No safe place for a candle in my house I’m afraid, except for the bathroom…
Bathrooms are great places for candles, I find- nice to soak in after a workout and have the candle lit!
