Voluspa Scented Candles
You know by now that I am nothing without a scented candle. They are literally essential to my existence. I have said before that Voluspa Candles are the creme de la creme of scented candles and I will say it again.
Their fragrances burn true and very cleanly, and here is why...they use a Coconut Wax blend. "Voluspa is one of the first candle companies to use coconut wax commercially. Coconut wax is made by first
collecting coconuts and then cold pressing the oil out of the meat of the coconut. That coconut oil is then turned in to coconut wax through the process of hydrogenation which is the same process by which soy wax is made"-via Voluspa. This means that they are clean burning, keep their crisp white look, hold their scent beautifully and prominently, and they are ecologically sound and sustainable. The holy grail!
I have bought all of my Voluspa candles for the past few years from a fantastic online store, Amara. They have tonnes of design led pieces for the home, and a great range of candles too. I bought a Fatboy pouffe for my new flat a couple of weeks ago by virtue of their great marketing of new brands on their website, and I am hooked. Rather predictably I went for the pink one, but was tempted by the camo option.
Anyway, Voluspa has upped their game producing bigger and better candles that deliver on all fronts. Here are my current faves.
Not just a pretty package....but you have to admit they look good too!
