روز دي جاردان | شمعة معطرة صغيرة

I lit this in the hallway and the rose comes through wild and almost green, not the stuffy perfume-y kind. The litchi softens it just enough that the whole room smells expensive without trying. Burn is even and slow, so I'm already eyeing a backup.

I burn it on my desk in the evening and the lychee note is what gets me, slightly fizzy and sweet before the wild rose comes through. It's small so it fits on a crowded nightstand, and the scent lingers a good while after I blow it out.

The litchi note is what sold me — it keeps the rose from going heavy or grandma-ish, which is usually my problem with floral candles. Only gripe is the burn time feels short for the size, maybe 20 hours if I'm lucky. Still, the scent throw fills my whole bedroom.
