My holiday collection! ❤️🎄🌟

I’ve been building this collection for years now and I’m so proud of it 🥹

Oldest: The oldest candles here are the full size Diptyque Biscuit and the mini Sapin, Flocon, and Biscuit trio from their 2021 holiday collection. Even smelling it cold, Biscuit is an absolute gourmand dream, to the point I haven’t burned it yet because I want it to last forever. But just the idea of this scent wafting through my house is making me salivate, so I’m finally going to burn it this holiday season.

Newest: The newest addition is Lemuria Winter, which just arrived yesterday and completed the collection! (for now anyway, haha) I’m burning it for the second time right now and it’s incredible, it smells like an enchanted pine forest. It even got an enthusiastic stamp of approval from my fiancé who’s completely indifferent to candles. Also, I had an exceptionally wonderful experience buying from Lemuria which I might make a separate post about because I just want to rave about them.

Highlights: My favorites are probably Sapin, By the Fireplace, and Biscuit. Lemuria Winter is fast becoming a new favorite.

Letdowns: Sadly, I have to say that both Friandise and Pain d’Epices were overall disappointing for me and didn’t give me that straightforward gingerbread scent I was looking for. I just want a gourmand candle that smells like a freshly baked batch of ginger molasses cookies. The search continues, which leads me to…

What will I add next?: I really want to try Heretic Dirty Gingerbread. I also want to find a luxury candle that smells like hot chocolate. I already have Bath & Body Works Hot Cocoa & Cream which is honestly 10/10, but I’d love to try a more upscale iteration.

Also, I included pictures of my Nest Holiday votive candle that’s currently an ornament on my tree, and the Diptyque felt stickers that were the most adorable GWP ever. Still not sure where I want to use the stickers, but I freaking love them.
