L’or De Seraphine ‘Valensole'

Score: 70%

Family: Fresh
Notes:
lavender, eucalyptus, sage

In our words: This candle never lives up to its potential. The blend of lavender, sage, and eucalyptus surely could give this a unique scent but the candle’s throw is too subtle to pick up the notes in even the smallest of rooms. When you can smell it, it’s lovely.

In their words : A relaxing scented candle with key scents of lavender and sage. Housed in a beautifully designed ceramic candle holder featuring a purple gingham pattern inspired by the flowing fields of lavender in the French town of Valensole, where endless stretches of fragrant lavender create a meditative sense of calm.
