Almost out of candle season but not quite there yet. We have been having some breezy Spring days..not that I'm complaining. It's my favorite weather for sure. Anyway...while it's still ok to burn candle- figured I had better start burning through the lat of my candles.
Maison claims:
Kandilli is inspired by a village on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus, where my mother first encountered the scent of tuberose at sixteen. This fragrance captures that sunlit memory with a lush tuberose accord layered over soft white lily. A base of warm amber and sandalwood brings depth and sensuality, grounding the florals in gentle radiance. Nostalgic, luminous, and softly tropical.
I just noticed they hiked the prices of these candles up...so I'm definitely only picking them up when they have a sale. Also on my last check out I realized they had a reward program so I was able to cash some of that out and save some extra money. Saving while spending is the way.
I just realized I skipped ahead...I also have No.4 but I thought this was first for some reason.
This candle seems to be their powerhouse floral candle. Definitely on the stronger side and very floral. Not exactly unique- I feel like it's similar enough to some other floral candles I've tried, Mainly gardenia type candles like Harlem Candle Lady Day, Kendra Scott Mother of Pearl or any other white floral candle type. etc. It' not the same as those have gardenia (not the tuberose that's in this) - but similar enough that if you like those you would like this.
It's one I think I like most on a sunny day with the windows open.
It's on the stronger side. Maison candles tend to be on the lighter side. This one is not overly strong but I can smell it even as it sits unlit.
It is a mostly soy candle. And burns cleanly as long as you keep the wick trimmed. Usually they burn pretty evenly but I haven't been making sure it burns to the edges like I usually do so it's on that it looks a bit wonky. I can fix it with some foil later on though.
I like the packaging- comes in a nice giftable box and the candle design itself is very classic with the brand printed on the candle itself which always feel higher quality than a sticker.
Overall I have really been enjoying it. I don't know that it's one I would need to buy again because I seem to come across similar enough candles every couple of months...but might be something I keep in mind for gift giving.
