8 Reasons Why I Use Room Sprays

Posted by candledelirium on Aug 15 2010 | room sprays

1. Room sprays make my home smell great. A fresh mist of wonderful product – such as  Diptyque Baies Room Spray makes my home smell amazing and adds a little boost to my day.

2. Room sprays are an option, even in places that don’t allow candles. Let’s face it: although luxury scented candles are amazing products, they don’t belong everywhere. Many hotels and workplaces don’t allow them and the open flame of candles is just not safe around pets or small children. If I need to scent a room where candles aren’t allowed, a room spray is the perfect choice.

3. Room sprays are great for freshening up. No matter how carefully I clean my home, there are times when my home needs an extra boost of scent. I may be stuck inside for days or may have made something a little smelly for dinner, but room sprays take care of it simply and quickly.

4. Rom sprays are ultra portable. I can tuck a small bottle into my purse with me when I travel or commute, so that I can always add a burst of fragrance wherever I go.

5. Room sprays don’t linger. Luxury scented candles fill your home with a luxurious fragrance that lasts and lasts. It’s great – unless you don’t want a rich scent that lingers. If you want just a hint of scent, room sprays are a wonderful choice.

6. Room sprays are effortless. Even the finest candles require lighting and trimming the wick. Plus, you have to remember to blow out your cnaldes each time you leave your home. Sprays are simple – you just squirt a wonderful fragrance into the air and forget about it.

7. Room sprays are flexible. They allow you to add a little bit of scent or add a bigger dose of fragrance. It’s completely up to you. Plus, some room sprays – such as Voluspa Burmese Rosewood Room & Body Spray – do double-duty as perfumes and room sprays, so that my home can smell as wonderful as I do.

8. Room sprays can complement your favorite home fragrances. I love layering fragrance on my body – scented lotions, powders, and other products complement my perfume. Room sprays allow me to layer fragrances in my home. I can match Diptyque Feu de Bois (Wood Fire) Room Spray to a Diptyque Feu de Bois (Wood Fire) Candle by using both Diptyque candles and Diptyque room sprays in the same room. Or, I can match my favorite Voluspa candles with Voluspa room sprays. This creates an even richer home fragrance that lasts and lasts.

Pillar Candles

Posted by candledelirium on Jul 29 2010 | pillar candles

If you want candles that make a statement, consider pillar candles. Pillar candles are  a style of candles which are large and wide. This creates a very long burning time as well as a bold decorative statement. If you want to make a strong statement and want to enjoy scented candles that last for a long time, pillar candles may be your best option.

Pillar candles come in many shapes and sizes, but they all have a long burn time in common. Since the pillar candles use more wax, there is more fuel for a long burn. Most pillar candles are tall and either round or square. They can be used in a variety of ways. For example, you can set one pillar candle in the center of a room or table for a bold look. You can also group several pillar candles of different heights together for a more contemporary look.

If you want scented pillar candles, look for high quality scented candles, such as Archipelago pillar candles. Archipelago pillar candles offer hours of burning time and intoxicating fragrances. These candles come in many fragrances, including the Archipelago Botanicals Ambiant Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Charleston Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Demeter Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Fiji Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Havana Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Lanai Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Luna Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Madagascar Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Mediterranean Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Pacifica Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Paramour Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Savannah Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Stonehenge Pillar Candle, the Archipelago Botanicals Tuscany Pillar Candle, and the Archipelago Botanicals Venus Pillar Candle. Each Archipelago pillar candle is an intoxicating blend of fragrances blended by fragrance masters. Each candle also comes in three pillar sizes. The 2.75×6.5 Pillar candle has an 80 hour burn time, the 3.5×3.5 pillar has a 65 hour burn time, and the 2×3 pillar candle has a 30 hour burn time.

While there are many low-cost scented pillar candles on the market, the problem with these low-quality candles is that the scent of the candle is often not integrated right into the wax. This means that the scent does not last as long as the candle does, which is probably not what you want with scented pillar candles. Splurge on a high-end luxury pillar candle and you’ll get great value. The candle and its wonderful scent will last a long time, allowing you to get lots of value from every drop of wax.

Soy Candles for Every Day

Posted by candledelirium on Jul 19 2010 | soy candles

For everyday use, it’s hard to beat soy candles. Sox candles are made from a hydrogenated soybean oil, more commonly known as soy wax. In 1992, a man named Michael Richards invented this type of wax while looking for options beyond beeswax. Since then, soy candles have grown rapidly in popularity. Now, there are soy candles available in every style, size, and fragrance. If you want to use candles or scented candles every day, there are lots of reasons why you will want to choose soy candles over paraffin wax candles (traditional candles):

1) Soy candles are less expensive. Soy wax is cost-effective, so you don’t have to spend a fortune to enjoy the beauty and fragrance of candles every day.

2) Soy candles are kinder to the environment. Most traditional candles are made from petroleum, which is a non-renewable resource and releases CO2 into the atmosphere. Soy candles pollute less and are made from a renewable resource, which is important if you love candles and want to use them regularly.

3) Soy candles have a longer burn time. Good quality soy candles can last up to 50% longer than traditional paraffin wax candles. This means that for every day use, you get more value from soy candles and you will have to change candles less often.

4) Soy candles make clean up easy. If you burn candles every day, spills and accidents are inevitable. The nice thing about soy wax is that it easy to clean, so you don’t have to worry about scrubbing your furniture or rugs like crazy if you do have a little spill.

5) Soy candles come in wonderful scents. There are so many wonderful soy candles to choose from now that it’s ridiculous. A Scent of Scandal Hot Mama Candle, for example, is a gorgeous candle with a wonderful sugar and spice fragrance. The Archipelago Home Currant Candle is one of the most popular scented candles out there, a real hit with celebrities and just about everyone. Whatever mood you want to set, there is a soy candles that can help you create the ambience of your choice.

6) Soy candles are kinder to your indoor air quality. Soot is a natural byproduct of candles, but soy candles cut the soot in your home by 90% when compared to traditional paraffin candles. This is crucial, since soot can coat your walls and can also be very unhealthy to breathe.

7) Scented soy candles disperse scent more effectively. If you want to fill your home with luscious fragrance, soy candles are a great choice. This is because soy wax allows for cooler burning temperatures than paraffin, allowing fragrance to disperse more quickly. As well, since soy wax has a low melting point, soy candles produce a large liquid pool of wax, and is from this liquid that scent is dispersed.

Candles for Summer Holidays

Posted by candledelirium on Jun 14 2010 | summer candles

During the summer holidays, candles can be a great way to relax, celebrate the holiday, and even create a wonderful atmosphere during the warmest months of the year. Many people associate candles with the indoors and with colder weather, but there are in fact many reasons why candles are just perfect for the summer holidays:

1) Candles are great for summer holiday travel plans. If you are heading anywhere, it makes sense to pack a few extra candles with you. If you are headed to the cottage or to your vacation home, for example, candles are a must. They can help you freshen up your vacation home and make it smell great – even if it smells musty after being closed up for the year. Luxury candles such as Archipelago Candles can make your cottage or vacation feel and smell wonderful – just like home. Not only can scented candles make your home away from home smell and look great, but they are essential in case of a power outage. If you are going to be staying in hotels on your vacation, scented candles can make your hotel room smell great and seem more like home.

2) Candles are a great way to keep your home smelling fresh. During the summer months, swimming trunks, pets, and plenty of trekking indoors and out can make keeping your home clean a challenge. You don’t want to spend every beautiful Saturday indoors, scrubbing, which is why scented candles such as Tocca candles are so handy – they make your home smell heavenly even when you are on the go.

3) Candles are a great way to light up evenings on the patio or deck. During the warm months, we tend to spend more time on our patios, balconies, decks, and in our gardens. If you have an outdoor space, you can transform it into something really special at night by lighting a few candles. They can transform alfresco dining or a barbeque party into something really fabulous.

4) Candles can be a great way to unwind. During the summer, we tend to be busier than ever. With kids home from school, work schedules, and vacation time to schedule in, it can still be hard to find time to yourself. Candles are a great indulgence that can remind you to be a little kinder to yourself.

5) Candles are a great alternative to bonfires. Most of us grew up with summertime bonfires and campfires. While these were fun and magical, laws regarding fires have become much more strict. If you can’t tell scary stories around a fire because of local laws, you can still (safely) enjoy the magic of open flame by lighting dozens of candles in your yard and transforming the outdoors into a magical place.

6) Candles are great for those summer night storms. In most parts of the country, summer means thunderstorms and power outages. You could light up simple emergency candles, but choosing luxury scented candles transforms a simple power outage into a time for romance or relaxation.

Candle Accessories I Can’t Live Without

Posted by candledelirium on May 24 2010 | candle accessories

You’ve probably heard of luxury candles – but luxury candle accessories? It’s true - candle accessories are the hot new trend in the world of scented and luxury candles. Have every type of luxury candle and now want something to make your candle experience even more enjoyable? Need to buy a great gift for the person who has everything (including every truly great candle)? Candle accessories are the answer. In some cases, candle accessories can even help your luxury candles last longer. There are many types of candle accessories to choose from:

1) Lighters. Of course, you could light your luxury candles with any old match or fluid lighter, but the most beautiful candles deserve a beautiful lighter. Plus, if you are always fumbling for matches or lighters, a beautiful lighter that is designed like a fine work of art will likely solve your problem. You can keep your beautiful lighter right by your candles, enhance your décor, and always be ready when you want to unwind with a scented candle.

2) “Oops” tools. Let’s face it: no matter how careful you are, accidents happen. When those accidents happen with hot, dripping wax, the results can be messy. Untreated, hot wax can cause spots and stains on your carpets, ruining your furnishings. However, wax and spot removers can remove wax stains and can allow you to enjoy your candles with complete peace of mind.

3) Tool sets. Tool sets combine the most popular accessories into one beautifully packaged set. The Wickman Candle Tool Set of 3, for example, contains everything you need to enjoy your luxury candles: a wick trimmer, a wick dipper and a bell snuffer. Everything is elegantly presented in a box, making this a perfect (and thoughtful gift).

4) Wick trimmers. Wick trimmers, as their name implies, help you snip and trim your wick easily and safely. While you can use scissors, wick trimmers are designed to help you trim wicks safely (long handles ensure you don’t get near the flame). Wick trimmers also ensure that the wick is cut cleanly each time, minimizing soot. Plus, wick trimmers can ensure you won’t damage your wicks while trying to trim. If you’ve been ruining your favorite scissors by trimming wicks, it may be time for a wick trimmer.

5) Snuffers. Snuffers are often shaped like little bells and they help you put out a candle safely and effectively – with minimal smoke and soot. Snuffers have a long and rich history and look quite elegant. They also ensure that you are not blowing soot and wax about as you try to put out your candles. When you blow on a candle, you can also sometimes move the hot wax, creating an uneven burn surface. You can prevent this with good snuffers, potentially helping your candles last longer.

6) All-purpose tools. Of course, you might not want a drawer-full of candle accessories. If this is the case, an all-purpose candle tool such as the Wickman Candle Tool might be right for you. The 6” Wickman Candle Tool can help you dig out buried wicks and can help you snuff out a candle without smoke. The long handle ensures that your hand stays safe and never gets close to the flame.
