Set the mood for an evening of romance or give the gift all your friends will want with the Veloute range of soy wax candles from Dickens & Hawthorne. Indulge in the sheer opulence of the ‘Cashmere’ range and be transported away on wings of heady fragrance from an eco friendly product.

The opulence begins with a stylish package reminiscent of a fabulous Florence Broadhurst print. The raised velvet design gives you a hint of the indulgence lying within. The candles are a smart and stylish addition to any home or office.

Veloute candles are hand poured with wax made from soybean oil; which is an eco friendly renewable resource and is completely natural. Soy wax also has a lower burning temperature and smoke a lot less than a standard wax candle, which makes it the safer option for you and your loved ones. Never worry about cleaning up wax spills again- the candles come in their own stylish frosted glass holder and even if you do have a little spill, soy wax is water-soluble, making it a breeze to remove. With a burning time of 30 hours, Veloute candles are long lasting luxury that everyone can afford. To enhance the luxury, the Cashmere line has a range of complementary products so that you can layer the fragrance. Cashmere has a heady, sensual aroma, perfect for setting the mood for a night of romantic bliss. Candlelight is almost always associated with romance and teamed with the fragrance really sets the ambience. Cashmere Veloute candles are also great if you just feel like a treat for yourself. Everybody deserves a little Cashmere indulgence! Try them today; you won’t be disappointed.

This is a discussion I was having with a friend a little while ago.  I say yes, she said no – they make you feel too hot.  What do you think?

Anyway, it may be do a bit of online research into the topic – yes, people actually discuss this online.  I even found a Facebook discussion on the subject!!!!!

In winter yes, I would probably burn candle more often as it can make a dark, cold room more inviting.  However I burn candles all year round on my desk at work – which looks and feels the same any time of year due to the lighting and air-conditioning. At home I simply change the fragrance of the candles I burn and I would use tealights more often with an oil burner.

In winter I would suggest burning the warmer fragrances like Moroccan Fig & Cinnamon, Spicy Vanilla, Cashmere and Santal Amber.  In summer I burn more of the Lemongrass & Lime, Freesia and Quince.

In summer I do use my oil burner a bit more.  This is really so I still get the fragrance, but not so much of a flame.   I really love our Lemongrass and Grapefruit Fragrant Oil in my ceramic oil burner.

I also burn lots of candles in my bedroom, but my optometrist has just suggested that I might be better off reading with better light – bah hum bug.
