candles

volupsa crème de peche + bougie parfumée lavande

If you're looking to spend $16 to $45 on a Volupsa candle, I suggest picking up one of their mini 3.5 oz candles from Kitson first. After 15 minutes of indecision, I chose Crème de Peche (translation: creme of  fish?), and I'm head over heels. It's subtly vanilla with floral notes but isn't overpowering in the sense that your room won't smell like a over-perfumed college co-ed. It's a sophisticated fragrance and a refreshing addition to my current rotation of Glade Creamy Custard and Bougie Parfumée Lavande.
