I was most likely the last person in England to discover Urban Apothecary candles. The brand has been around for ages, but became a part of my life by accident – I saw their Candy candles and thought one would make a perfect gift for a friend of mine. To begin with, it was all about the packaging… Each heavenly scented candle came in a gorgeous vintage-looking glass container resting in a beautiful box in powdery colours complimenting the collection and fragrances inspired by traditional British desserts and sweets. Each scent was so delightful, velvety and dreamy that I really had to take my time to choose the one and only...
At the end, I left with the precious Chocolate Orange treasure, a blend of chocolate, vanilla and orange zest – it smelled so authentic and comforting and the peach tinted box and silk ribbon looked most feminine, delicate and classy. In fact, the colour of the box was very similar to the signature Chloe hue used for their perfume and the book. I was very tempted to keep it (naughty, I know!), but then reminded myself that the best gifts are the ones you really fall in love with, and so I wrapped the candle in a pretty paper and gave away. The joy of seeing my friend’s face when she opened her present was absolutely worth it!
Just in case you aren’t big on desserts, I suggest trying the floral & fruity collection (think Peony Rose, Fig or Vanilla Flower) or the sweetest Teacup candles in a delightful blend of white tea, Earl Grey or Chai. I know I am candle-mad, but these truly are… heavenly! Even if I say so myself.
