Summer’s Best Citrus Products: Trish McEvoy Orange Ginger Scented Candle

From big, juicy oranges to tangy lemons and limes, summer means one thing to me -- citrus-scented products. Discover all of my favorites in this series!

At first glance, I was both intrigued and wary of the note combinations in the Trish McEvoy Orange Ginger Scented Candle. How could these two intensely tangy scents combine in a way that wouldn’t be disastrous and horrifying?

Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised by the aroma wafting out of the 3 oz. jar. The vibrant scent lent just a hint of spicy deliciousness to my living room as I watched TV the other night. Truth be told, I want to savor every single moment of this candle -- because it’s one of the more unique in my collection!

The Trish McEvoy Orange Ginger Scented Candle is $17.50 and has a burn time of 18 hours.

Must-Have Mondays: Trish McEvoy Wild Blueberry Vanilla Candle

On a recent trip to beauty mecca bluemercury with my very best friend Katie, I wasn't sure where to look first. The abundance of skincare, makeup and fragrance was truly overwhelming! But then I happened upon the Trish McEvoy Wild Blueberry Vanilla Candle, and suddenly nothing else seemed to matter.

With a single intake of breath, I felt as though I had been whisked away to a sensuous bedroom lair complete with velvet bedding and dim mood lighting. In all seriousness, this candle really and truly is one of the most amazing candles I have ever had the opportunity to smell. The fresh scent of blueberry intertwines with the intoxicating aroma of vanilla to create a feeling of raw, intense opulence and decadence. I decided right there on the spot to plunk down the $46 for the huge 11oz. size and take it home with me.

This was a month ago, and I have literally lit it for an hour or two every day since. The lead-free wick keeps it from smoking even if I forget to trim it now and then, and the seemingly endless burn time -- there's still over half the candle left! -- makes me super-happy and excited. But what I really love is the scent. It just hasn't gotten old! I keep this candle in my living room, so that the beautiful aroma envelops me as soon as I walk through the door after a long, hard day. I can honestly say this is one of the best items I have ever purchased -- it makes it into my top five favorite candles of all time by far!

A total must-have? Most definitely. Get ready to be magically whisked away to a sensuous fantasy of your own.
