I agree, by the Fireplace is an excellent candle. I was lucky to score a backup at 50% off during a flash sale and the cold throw from inside the sealed box is a burst of amazing every time I open the drawer it’s tucked away inside of.
I'm as obsessed with candles as I am with perfumes! Yana, have you tried any of the House of Sillage candles? They're incredible. A bit pricey, but usually they have a daily sale of 50% off of a certain candle each day. Coconut wax is the best. Paraffin is not great. Soy is also good. Byredo makes amazing candles, but it's a shame that they're made with paraffin. I want the salt and Stone Saffron and Cedar candle. Great candle choices, Yana. Your home must smell incredible! 🕯 🩷❤️
More candle videos, please! I am currently obsessed with Otherland candles. You should check them out as they use clean ingredients and hot throw is incredible!
Hi, just to be clear with waxes. Paraffin isn't toxic if its fully refined. Every wax emits formaldehyde when they combust, this is what you call the "carcinogenic" molecule. If the candle is perfectly wicked and made they must emit less this molecule. Trudon used to have beewax into their blends but now to make it "vegan suitable" they change it for paraffin (dyptique uses paraffin too). Every candle maker does have to make several lab candle testing before selling their candles on the market. The toxic issue in a candle is the fragrance, which are often full of allergens. Avoid those who have the red diamond warning logo on the label they are the most unsafe to use.
Thank you for this video! I'm one of those people who has been waiting to hear your thoughts on candles! I also love Boy Smells Hinoki Phantom and Voluspa Baltic Amber. I got Voluspa Havana Mojito last summer before my daughter was born and associate the smell with her being a newborn. Need to check out some of your other recommendations. For selfish reasons, I'd like to suggest a "favorite musks" perfume video. I'm currently searching for a good soft, white musk (non-floral), so I would love to hear about some of your favourites - if you are so inclined.
I so agree about Nest! I really need a very very strong throw and during COVID I started branching out into brands like Trudon, Le Labo, Formasetti, MFK, etc - and I always always come back to Nest. Their Hearth candle is DIPTYQUE Feu de Bois amped up, and their Bamboo is honestly the best white floral candle on the planet. YUM!
Good morning all happy Monday morning and I hope you having amazing weekend and happy fall day vlogs and I enjoy your channel because you are amazing Supporter
Sorry I forgot to mention that! They're medium hot throw. I can smell most of them mildly throughout my house while they're burning. I'd recommend the single wick of the pumpkin smash because it seems very intense though I haven't set mine on fire yet 😆 but the rest of them I'd prefer the XL
Really enjoyed this Yana. The Malin & Goetz Cannabis has me intrigued - still apprehensive if it even has a whiff of true cannabis in it (cannot stand the smell).
To me it doesn't smell like real cannabis at all. I wouldn't make the association if I had blind sniffed it. I believe it's actually mostly patchoulli. It has a fresh, slightly masculine, herbaceous vibe which I find so soothing and "zen"
Diptyque is highway robbery. Here's why... This from Diptyque: "In addition to natural fragrances, Diptyque candles can also boast a high quality that is hard to match." Read between the lines. Natural fragrance does not mean essential oils. If Diptyque used essential oils they would say so. Diptyque uses synthetic oils, which almost all high-end perfumers use. There's an argument too that pure essential oils don't have a strong throw but that's another discussion. My main critique with Diptyque is that their candles are dry and very little oil is used, whether synthetic or natural. Many candles have little to no smell at all. Diptyque was once a small company making small batch artisanal candles. The amount of oil in their candles used to bead up on the wax surface. When lit, their candles filled the room with extraordinary fragrance. When unlit, their candles had a strong cold throw. No more. Diptyque's quality is gone but it's no surprise. Diptyque expanded to some 100 stores all over the world and with expansion comes compromise. Diptyque candles are mass produced, of poor quality, and sold for exorbitant prices. Then there's this. "Diptyque candles are all hand-poured and made of high-quality paraffin wax." This is crazy. You're paying $80 for a candle made with petroleum based paraffin wax. Is this paraffin wax from China or from France? Does it matter and how do we know? Oh, and thank you Diptyque for not using "poor-quality" paraffin wax. I can't make this stuff up if I tried. Of course, Diptyque couldn't use soy wax or beeswax because this would be too costly for them and they'd have to have to raise the price beyond what is already extraordinary. Better to pinch pennies at the factory and maximize profits. Sounds like something something, wink-wink, a private equity firm would do, not an artisanal French candlemaker. It goes on. "Each candle is carefully prepared individually and hand poured to ensure that a qualified person can spot any problems and flaws." Does it matter if a candle is hand poured or poured from a machine? Again, with 100 stores and candles being made en masse, all that matters is precision. Great candles must use high quality wax, high quality oils and fragrances, and high quality wicks centered on their bases. This is marketing gobbledygook and Diptyque knows it. It gets worse. Sure enough, in 2005, Diptyque was bought by... you guessed it... a private equity firm, Manzanita Capital. Their CEO, William S. Fisher's worth is $1.85 billion. He worked at the Gap and he's a hedge fund manager. It's Fisher's job to maximize profits at all costs, definitely not what I would associate with an artisanal, high quality candlemaker. There are salaries to be paid. I'm not talking about the pittance that Diptyque's staff are paid, though they're the heart of the company and should be well compensated. The real money is made at the top of the food chain. It explains why Diptyque's candles cost $80 and if you want to buy a lid for the candle, that's an extra $30 - $60 for a cheap piece of... whatever. If you're not careful, you can spend up to $140 for a 190g paraffin wax candle. Like I said, highway robbery. Diptique is no longer a French candle company. They are owned by a London-based conglomerate. Diptyque's gorgeous looking products and their extraordinary history keeps them from being a 1-star company, but their candles suck purple Twinkies. Be careful, there are several once vaunted candlemakers that have fallen into the hands of capital investment companies, more concerned with profits than with quality. Another befallen favorite is Le Labo. There are many better alternatives at all price points. Here are a few high-end candlemakers that use quality ingredients: Cire Trudon, Mad et Len, Maitre Gantier, Christian Tortu, & Carrière Frères ...and many come with lids.
More luxury candle content please! It's a niche category that's totally unfilled on TH-cam!
Will do!! I noticed that as well when I started researching candles

Loved this! Definitely more candle videos please!
Ab el kader is also my favorite, I think it smells basil and mint
Nest Birchwood Pine sounds like it's right up my alley! thank you for this video -- hard to find this kind of content.
More candle videos please😊
Especially AFFORDABLE ones, like BBW, Yankee Candle, Kringle, DW Home... #MuchAppreciated ❤ !!!
Loved this Yana! I’ve been dying to try Snif so I’m going to try both their candles and fragrances. More of these videos please!😍
I'm as obsessed with candles as I am with perfumes!

This one I was really looking forward to watching 🙏🥰❤️ !!!

Thank you! ❤️ I will definitely check them out 😊
I love Feu de Bois but I've had the same problems with the wax not burning evenly. Unfortunately it's a Diptyque problem.

No dummy. Paraffin is toxic🤦🏻♂️
I always use the warmer to fix the tunneling problem. Diptyque is good but single wick is not good for large surface.
Yes, more luxury candle videos !
Thank you for this video! I'm one of those people who has been waiting to hear your thoughts on candles!

Can you make a budget candle video??? I would love to hear about some more affordable options.
What a cozy video!! I'm also candle obsessed! 🕯 my favorite brand is NEST, but this year, I'm giving them a break and giving Lafco a try!
I so agree about Nest! I really need a very very strong throw and during COVID I started branching out into brands like Trudon, Le Labo, Formasetti, MFK, etc - and I always always come back to Nest.

Hi!! Could you review one of the Auden Lueur candle by Xo Maccena
Can you review D EL Beauty Candles?❤❤❤
Are the Snif candles fairly strong? Not sure if I should go with regular or XL.
Sorry I forgot to mention that! They're medium hot throw. I can smell most of them mildly throughout my house while they're burning. I'd recommend the single wick of the pumpkin smash because it seems very intense though I haven't set mine on fire yet 😆 but the rest of them I'd prefer the XL
Great video, merci! Please do all the fun candle things, especially energizing candles for the home office.
You got it!🥰
Amazing , thanks! @@TheScented

maison louis marie #4 bois de balincourt is in (literally) every room of my home! lol
You stole my heart as “…dingy castle…”.
Great video,thank you!
Live VOLUSPA!!!!
Love Voluspa too!! 🥰
Me tooo. The only downside is the packaging. Some colors are too much

I have four words for you- Capri Blue Volcano Candle. You'll thank me later :D
🌹
Both Byredo and Diytque candles have awful tunneling!!
They do!
Why you are soo beautiful.!❤
Your voice reminds me of jennifer Lopez. 😂

Learn to take care of them 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
