Right now is definitely the season to light candles and snuggle up at home. I’m really excited about sharing some amazing candles with you today that make phenomenal gifts and at the end of this post I also have a big giveaway for you.
I don’t know about you, but I’m usually a person who can’t handle different scented candles. I usually stick with cookie and vanilla smells since they don’t give me a headache or make me nauseous.
As a child I hated it when my mom wore strong perfumes and I always told her to please not wear one when we’d travel in the car. To this day I still get sick of the scents she picks and when she was just here visiting I asked her please not to wear her perfume. My favorite scent which I shared in my gift guide (click HERE) and mostly the only one I wear is this one HERE because it is not overpowering and subtle.
The moral of that story is that today’s candles by Thompson Ferrier NYC have the most amazing gentle scents. Not strong and overpowering. Subtle, luxurious and really really good. I really wish I could give you scratch and sniff through the blog. I’m thrilled that it’s not the standard vanilla smell and they don’t make me nauseous or give me a headache.
Their smell is an entire experience. I tried to show through my photography how much I really love them. And after you see the photos I feel like I don’t even have to say much more. They don’t just smell phenomenal, they also look amazing with a big variety to choose from. And at the end of burning your candle, you are left with a gorgeous container. I even moved my beloved horse bowl to have them centerstage in my living room.

There are different collections like metallics, animal prints, pineapples, buddhas, a Christmas line and more.

Let me show you.

I don’t have to tell you that I’m totally in love with the black and white pineapples, do I?

Totally made for my tray (click HERE) and home.

And I made a flower arrangement for my cookie exchange which looked so great with the candles too. Can you believe that these flowers cost $10?

(So far the only stronger scent I noticed is the “fireside scented candle”.)

They are all similar subtle scents with a hint of flowers.

I’m definitely hooked and love that I will have those pretty canisters left to use in my kitchen or perhaps the bathrooms. Those pineapples will be perfect.

They sure are beautiful candles right? And trust me, they smell fantastic and would make a great gift.

Good luck with the giveaway.

Tschüß

    Those candles are gorgeous! I absolutely love how sleek they look. The animal skin print is perfect for my living room. Could you give a description of the scents you received? I too am very adverse to overly scented products and would to hear more about the scents offered.

    I love the candles from the elephant collection… I’m just crazy about all things elephant!

  7. Amanda Calabrese says

    Gorgeous candles! I love them all but I think my favorite is the White Tea & Mint Silver Pineapple.

  9. donna says

    Gorgeous! I especially love the pineapples. They especially say ‘welcome’ here in the south. Happy holidays to you and your family!

    How could one choose! Great candlelight, containers…and I remember reading blog age you bought the tray…I think your mom was visiting.

    Thank you for introducing me to this new line of candles! I too prefer lightly scented candles and gave up wearing perfume several years ago. There are so many lovely ones to pick but right now I would pick the pineapple as I have a friend who collects this u iversal symbol of welcome. I just love your Christmas decor, it is simply elegant!

  31. Norah says

    Love these for gifting year round! I especially love the elegance of the black and white pineapples. Happy holidays to you and your family!

    • Julia says

      Thanks Norah, I agree about the gifting. I’d always be happy if someone would give me a candle. You can’t go wrong

  32. Rieka Timm says

    I’m loving the cooler toned pineapples! Especially the black one! I think we all have enough white and gold ones by now (we still love them though). I adore the elephant as well. I like how you incorporated these into your holiday decor and can I just say, that floral arrangement is spectacular!

    They are all gorgeous candles! I really like the snake skin collection and would love to try the Juniper and Jasmine scent.

  38. Susan says

    Tough to choose just one, but I am drawn to the elephant candles because elephants are one of my youngest daughter’s favorite animal and they are just also so unique. But I’m also drawn to the Buddha for myself. again, unique choice for candle holder.

  39. judy says

    Wow, such an exciting collection of both scents and containers as well…what more can I ask for? !!! Love the lotus and lily as well as juniper and jasmine scents.

  40. Mila says

    Love the look of all the candles and am sure the scents are just as lovely. Love the pineapples and elephant.

  43. Claudia Lea says

    If I remember correctly about which perfume your mom used to wear, Lisette and I both still wear it. It reminds me of her and my times in your home, and makes me feel more pulled together (like her!). =)

    • Julia says

      Haha, do you mean tresor? That was one of them but I could handle that one and had it for a while too. Now she wears tresor la nuit. Yuck!

  49. Dorothea says

    Because of the season, I was immediately drawn to the Red Santa Sugar Plum candle, but it’s out of stock. No problem, I’m also loving the Spruce and Fir Reindeer candle – I adore the scent of fresh cut Christmas trees!
