As the days grow colder and the nights stretch longer, it only seems right to fill my home with the warm scents of the season; I absolutely adore balsam, nutmeg, and cloves! The right scent can put you in the mood for cuddling up by the fire, sipping hot apple cider, reading your favorite book. The right candle can leave you feeling warm and cozy, with no harmful side effects from inhaling phthalates-laden synthetics, air polluting zinc cores or petroleum based waxes. Strega Moon Candle Company offers an aromatherapy line with candles made from 100% soy wax, undyed, scented with only essential oil blends (aromatherapy line only).
We had the pleasure of testing all three of their holiday scents: first snow, cozy kitchen, and holiday spice. First snow is a light to mildly scented peppermint candle; this 5 oz jar burned clean, scented a large room, and lasted 40 hours. Cozy kitchen is a lightly scented blend of allspice, nutmeg, clove, and orange; this 2 oz candle melt/tart scented a large room for 6 hours. Holiday spice is a lightly mildly scented blend of orange, clove, and cinnamon; this 2 oz candle melt/tart scented a large room for 6 hours.
If you prefer to have a hint of scent rather than an overwhelming fragrance, check out the aromatherapy line from Strega Moon Candle Company.
