No matter our differences in beauty preferences – clean girl or glam makeup, indie or prestige brands – it’s universal that all beauty warriors and lifestyle mavens love candles. There’s something about the simple flickering of light and the perfume it adds to the air that signals sanctuary and self-care. Add to that sensation the stunning candle designs on the market, some so stunning they are like objets d’art priced accordingly. Sometimes we can splurge on the luxury versions, however most of the time there’s no need to. With their expertly-scented collection of both sassy and elegant candles, Ryan Porter’s Valentine’s Day Curation from Candier has the perfect gift for all tastes and at a price point that we can all appreciate for loved ones or just to celebrate self-love.
Known for their sassy, whimsical names and fragrances combos, Candier is first and foremost a female-founded brand committed to clean beauty. All Ryan Porter Candles are soy-based, vegan, cruelty-free, and poured stateside. Free of the nasty residue that results from other commercial candle wax ingredients, they are long-lasting with at least a 60-hour burn time.
True to Candier’s reputation as the sassy candle experts, best-sellers in the Valentine’s Day Collection include I Love You More Than Ice Cream Candle, You’re The Icing To My Donut Candle, and But Daddy I Love Him Candle.
The I Love You More Than Ice Cream Candle is reminiscent of the cuteness and sweetness of a visit to a childhood ice cream shop. With multicolored sprinkles, notes of buttercream, vanilla, and soft serve, it’ll bring back memories of your first crush. For a fruity sweetness that screams the delights of summer brunch, You’re The Icing To My Donut Candle is like a strawberry jam donut in more ways than one. The notes of your nonna’s homemade jam balanced with tonka bean and musk in the actual shape of a donut balance nostalgia with novelty in a way that screams Galentine’s Day fave.
For the ultra chic who skew French in their taste, you can’t go wrong with La Fleur – Black Orchid Candle, Fresh Cut Rose Candle, or La Fleur – Cashmere Rose Candle, all of which evoke dozens of fresh-cut roses at the famed Parisian Marché aux Fleurs.
The soy-based wax in all three of these Fleur Parfumée are expertly poured to replicate the intricate, yet effortlessly elegant design of a rose. The Black Orchid Candle balances sweet and spicy with notes of white grapefruit, black pepper, rose, and sandalwood. For an unmistakable clean, bracing rose scent, the Fresh Cut Rose Candle combines white rose florals with green leaves to transform any room into a late summer garden.
In the ultimate recreation of olfactory luxury, the Cashmere Rose Candle opens with white florals and geranium, transitions to mid notes of jasmine and cardamom, and lingers with closing notes of cashmere and white amber for unfettered elegance.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
