Purple Has Never Smelt So Sweet

Here's why you need to add

Otherland Co's Purple Petals

to your candle collection

I always leave Target or TJ Maxx with at least one candle, but I face the same problems each time: a weak scent, a burning time less than indicated, smoke, flickering or unsteady burn, and sometimes a completely different scent from what is advertised. Still, I buy candles because I love them and my home is not complete without at least one. What if I told you that there is a candle company right in #NewYorkCity that has solved all my candle frustrations? Meet #Otherland, a lovely perfumer-crafted #homedecor company that has promised to transform your home into a dreamscape.

First Sniff

I lit #PurplePetals and in under 5 minutes a beautiful fragrance filled my living room and kitchen, which are both connected. I have somewhat high ceilings in my living room, so I was shocked at how quickly it spread. The fragrance is a mix of lilac, hyacinth, and lychee, so if you love florals you are in for a treat.

What Else?

This candle burns evenly and doesn't smoke - what a relief! I am still using it, so I cannot speak to its burn time. However, I have read reviews and it appears that this candle lives up or close to its advertised 55-hour burn time. I love to light this when I'm reading, journaling, or as part of my pre-sleep ritual.

Cherry on Top

Otherland candles are #vegancandles, hand-poured into reusable glass jars. They are also free of parabens and phthalates.
