Breath of Fresh Air: the BLOOM Collection from Hillhouse Naturals

I have a bit of a secret:  I'm obsessed with candles.  Pretty much year round, but especially in the springtime because that's when all the flowery lovely scents come out.

I love love love the entire Bloom collection from Hillhouse Naturals--but of course, the soy tin candle is my fave.

First of all, here are a few key points about soy candles in general:
  • Soy wax is all-natural
  • Soy candles last longer
  • Wax spills are easy to clean (great, because I'm a huge klutz as we all know!)
  • Soy candles produce less soot
  • Scented soy candles distribute more scent (yum!)
They're basically The superman of candles.

What's interesting about the Bloom fragrance is that it actually smells like spring. If you could somehow put the season into a bottle and save the scent, this would be it.  It isn't overpowering (though the candle does let off more fragrance than others) and it just smells amazing. It's a floral mixture of water lily, lotus flower and jasmine is underscored with the cool green notes of fresh bamboo and vetiver.

Springtime in a candle? I'm sold.  Check out the rest of this collection and others at Hillhouse Naturals.
