Find Serenity in a Soy Candle {Giveaway}

The Serenity Candle Company is a NY-based online candle store that strives to produce premium, eco-friendly candles with unique scents. Soy Serenity candles are hand-poured, clean burning, non-toxic, and dye free. They also have a longer burn time than many competitors’ candles. I was given the opportunity to try two of their scented candles, and I chose one scent that would be more expected and common and another that was really quite unique.

Apple Crumble filled my home with the scents of fall… of warm apple pie and rich cinnamon. It was extremely comforting, and the scent lingered long after the candle had been blown out. Vanilla Verbena had a hint of the exotic… and made me think of a warm, late spring day, lounging in the grass.

I am asthmatic with a tendency to be allergic to the fragrances used in many candles. I’ve also had migraines triggered by the scent of candles. Even when I’ve enjoyed a scent, it’s often just not worth it to burn the candle a second time. Neither of these candles caused me any problems, and it was lovely to be able to burn a candle for hours while I curled up on the couch and read on a snowy afternoon. I loved both of these scents, and I was glad I chose two very different scents. I wanted one that would be more familiar for comparison purposes, but I also wanted to take advantage of Serenity’s more unique and unexpected line of fragrances. Whether you want the comfort of the familiar, or the thrill of the exotic and unknown, there is likely to be a scent that suits your needs in Serenity’s line of soy candles.

We all need a little indulgence in life, and these beautifully made candles are a great way to escape the day-to-day stress that comes with modern living. They’d also make fabulous gifts for candle lovers, and with Mother’s Day just around the corner, this is a company I’d definitely order from for my own mother.  Don’t wait, check out their soy candles by fragrance, and use the coupon code SOYSERENITY (type in all caps) for a 5% discount!  Visit them on Facebook at Serenity Candle Company and Soy Serenity too.
