Candles are one of my favourite home products [1]. They can set the mood of your environment, and one of my personal home goals is to make my space feel like a luxurious hotel. If I can't embrace my inner Zack and Cody and live the suite life at the Tipton, the least I can do is make my home feel like a swanky hotel, from the crisp and cosy linens [2] to the elevated furnishings and decor. The Holiday Home Resort Candle Set [3] does just that. It mimics the experience of staying in a luxurious hotel, sans the room service.
The Holiday Home Resort candle set includes three comforting yet indulgent scents, High Ceiling Resort Lobby, Partial Ocean View Suite, and Well-Tipped Pool Boy. The scents are calming, refreshing, and will transport you to paradise. Yet, the candles [4] are fragrant enough to fill a room within minutes of lighting. Each candle has an 85-hour burn time making it last a while. Set in tall glassware with large, vintage-inspired font, the candle set exudes a clean, timeless look. The candles are vegan and cruelty-free made with a soft soy wax blend and a cotton wick.
The hustle and bustle of life will take a beat once you light one of these candles. Keep reading for my in-depth experience and review of each of the three scents.
Holiday High Ceiling Resort Lobby Candle
The Holiday High Ceiling Resort Lobby Candle [6] ($34) is a fresh floral scent that's light and inviting. It smells like fresh-cut white lilies and gardenia mixed with a fresh ocean breeze. Just imagine walking into a 5-star resort with an open floor plan lobby. The candle intertwines the beachside paradise with contemporary neutral furnishings decorated with vases of tropical florals. The High Ceiling Resort Lobby Candle is springy and welcoming, perfect for hosting or brightening up your living area.
Holiday Partial Ocean View Suite Candle
The Holiday Partial Ocean View Suite Candle [7] ($34) smells exactly like fresh laundry — I'm talking right out of the dryer, perfectly fluffed linens. Imagine waking up to a refreshing crisp blue ocean breeze in a hotel suite with fresh white linens wrapped around you. This candle is that exact feeling. It's light and refreshing and will make your home smell clean and put together, even if it isn't! The Partial Ocean View Suite Candle has a refreshing yet cosy scent that is the ultimate finishing touch to clean up days.
Holiday Well-Tipped Pool Boy Candle
The Holiday Well-Tipped Pool Boy Candle [8] ($34) has a sultry coconut fragrance that's tropical with a hint of old-fashioned sunscreen. The coconut and the sunscreen notes lean more fresh and subtle. They aren't overpowering each other but rather complement each other to create summer in a candle. The Well-Tipped Pool Boy Candle also has a unique seductive vibe with underlying cologne-like notes. It's perfect for giving your space a truly tropical vibe with an elevated twist. The candle is fun, flirty, and has an uplifting scent that will transport you to a swanky poolside with pina colada in your hand.
Holiday Home Resort Candle Set
Everyone knows that distinct new car smell. The experience is so familiar and unmistakable that you can probably pinpoint that scent right now and conjure it up from your memory alone. However, it's a scent that's difficult to describe, but we all know that experience. The
Holiday Home Resort Candle Set [9] ($96 for three) invokes a similar feeling. Your home will feel like a seven-star luxury hotel with unparalleled hospitality and plush and crip linens. The scents will transport you to a resort with views overlooking the ocean but just close enough to feel the waves crashing in the most calming yet invigourating manner.
