When it comes to Christmas scents, for me the use of cinnamon sticks, cloves, star anise and citrus peels remind me of Christmas Cake and it is at this time of the year when Christmas Candles really grab my attention.
Meet the Copenhagen Company, a family run business which is described as being The Home of Hygge Scents. Inspired by Founder Bo’s Danish roots and passion for fine fragrance, the collection includes an array of room sprays, diffusers and candles in a variety of sizes. I was very kindly sent The Copenhagen Company Amber Candle and, as with the The Copenhagen Company - Scandi Christmas Candle I shared last year, it has one of those scents you detect before the box has even been opened.
The Copenhagen Company candles are:
- Vegan and cruelty free
- Ethical and Sustainable
- Authentic Hygge
- Affordable without comprising quality
The candle opens with vibrant top notes of saffron flower, rose, and pink pepper, creating an enticing blend of floral, fruity, and spicy aromas that captivate from the moment it's unboxed. Once lit, heart notes of patchouli, oud, and guaiac wood reveal themselves, each adding depth through warm, spicy, and subtly smoky characteristics. At the base, earthy tones of warm amber, suede, and moss infuse the scent with richness and warmth. As the candle burns, these layers harmonise beautifully, allowing the top notes to maintain their allure while seamlessly complementing the deeper heart and base notes.
This is a large two wick candle, priced at just £17 and it has a burn time of approximately 30-35, depending on how often and for how long you burn it for. It has a natural wax blend and uses cotton wicks.
