My Latest Candle Favorites

Ah, candles. I seriously don't think I could ever have enough. It seems I fall in love with a new one every single day -- though, admittedly, I do have my favorites. (Tocca Cleopatra and Diptyque Violette, anyone?) I have, however, discovered five new favorites to add to the list. Get all the details after the jump.

The 30-hour burn time means I can enjoy it for a good long while. $20 at lafcony.com
