How Exotic: Space NK Life NK Gingered Woods Candle

Do you ever find yourself looking for that one perfect candle? You know the one -- it's not too heavy but not too light. Not too strong but not too weak. Heady and full-bodied without seeming overpowering or cloying. Well, I have the candle for you: Space NK Life NK Gingered Woods Candle.

I have to admit, I was a bit curious and wary when first setting out to light this candle. I'm not a huge woods fan, and ginger I can take or leave. But the second I lit the wick, I was transported to an exotic oasis of spa-like proportions.

Fresh ginger combines with sandalwood and cedar ... then they're lightly touched with tangerine and green fig. The end result? Complete, utter calm and relaxation the likes of which I haven't felt in quite some time. This one's a keeper.

The Life NK line is a new venture for Space NK and its creator, Nicky Kinnaird. (Click here for more on Nicky.) The entire line is free of parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate and silicone. It's made up of five scents -- Tomato
Rhubarb, Mandarin Grapefruit, Gingered Woods, Patchouli Suede and Midnight Jasmine -- which are supposed to be used during specific parts of each day.
