Their Silk Road candle is out of this world.<br /><br />As far as I'm aware, they don't sell 'bokhour' scents in the London store. I love the idea of Gold in incendiary form!Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-42821124447478883422012-12-15T05:20:11.055+00:002012-12-15T05:20:11.055+00:00Sorry for the really late comment but, I am very b...Sorry for the really late comment but, I am very behind on my blog reading.... Thanks for your thoughts on candles, I am always scared to buy any of these high end "perfume brands" since, like you say, I never know how they will end up smelling when you actually burn them. However, the other day I was at the Amouage flagship store in Muscat, Oman and they had four bokhour scents (Dubaiscentsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-91305149553345433072012-12-11T21:00:16.626+00:002012-12-11T21:00:16.626+00:00Andrew, thanks for your comment.

I have no objection to perfumes being created with synthetic materials, but to my nose, many of the Yankee Candles smell overly 'chemically'.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-54615226270945217812012-12-11T20:58:45.988+00:002012-12-11T20:58:45.988+00:00Poodle, thanks for writing.

I've had a Feu de Bois candle that gives off a very calming autumn air scent, crisp, woody, like the smell of a fireplace with an autumn or winter chill.<br /><br />On the other end of the spectrum, though, I'll suggest something a bit more American and home-spun and stillAndrew Buckhttp://wwww.scentrist.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-6030673427564854192012-12-11T12:19:18.159+00:002012-12-11T12:19:18.159+00:00Hubby and I love scented candles.

I find that scents that I don't necessarily want to wear as a perfume I love to smell in the house as room fragrances. Is that odd? I haven't tried the L'Artisan candles. Yet. I used to keep potpourri on the kitchen windowsill which only got a little sun but enough to warm and disperse the scent.

I can't say I'm overly familiar with them, but perhaps I'll rectify that in 2013.Persolaisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04192014353722036319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738735825185930519.post-26753527165735669992012-12-07T08:48:22.659+00:002012-12-07T08:48:22.659+00:00I'm so with you on L'Artisan's TdB can...I'm so with you on L'Artisan's TdB candle! So right on-- the candle is slightly more appealing to me as well, though I love the perfume. I think the perfume is just a little too sweet, so it makes me a touch queasy. <br /><br />For my money, you can't do better than Diptyque for candles (though L'Artisan comes close). Very diffusive, very attractive scents for all tastes and Carrie Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03433847890991768541noreply@blogger.com
