Dark Amber and Ginger Lily Scented Candle by Jo Malone for Unisex - 7 oz Candle

This is my all time favourite Jo Malone scent and as a candle it's simply amazing. The scent is a warm oriental spicy one but with a sophisticated feminine edge. It is in no way floral, hubby loves it, both on me and in it's candle form. It very well suits both make and female sensitivities as with no floral edge it doesn't make the room too girly but as it's not all about the spice and amber it's not too manly either. I'm very fussy when it comes to scent as many I find too heady or over floral or fruity. This one is just perfect as it is none of those things. I light the candle sit back and am transported to a beautiful beach, with turquoise seas gently sweeping up the sand, where warm and gentle breezes bring the smell of spices from the local market coupled perfectly with exotic flowers and sweetened by a faint hint of coconut milk. I'm cocooned by its warmth and so chilled out and relaxed that though the cost is steep it's truly worth it. I'm collecting them as I can, as I'd feel bereft without one to light, to help me unwind, at the end of the day. I'd especially love a diffuser in this, I'd have one in every room of the house. Yes it really is that good.

Funny how smells can bring memories back in an instant? I bought the dry body oil last year to take on holiday, lighting the candle took me back instantly to our last trip to Croatia heat and sunshine! The fragrance is intense rich and smooth. Memories in a candle.
