![]() I’m constantly rearranging my coffee table, and candles are my go-to. Your living room is the ideal location for some soothing & stylish candles, especially your coffee table. Even better? When you’ve finished your candle, the container is reusable! Try tossing your rings in one or keeping it by your entryway for your keys - the options are endless! To show you just how versatile they are, I’ve come up with three different ways to style candles throughout your home. It can be difficult to find candles in containers that elevate your home without distracting from your decor, but these floral-inspired ones from Bijou’s Fête des Fleurs Collection are just right. I’m always looking for unique candles that can double as decor and was excited to discover Bijou Candles. They not only smell amazing, but they’re also a great way to complete your space. No matter your decor style, candles are the perfect accessory for any room. I loved this candle and can’t wait to try more in their line.Decor & Styling 3 Ways to Style Candles Throughout Your Home It has a strong scent throw and a really clean burn. It does have the floral notes, so keep that in mind if you’re averse to those types of scents. Bette is the perfect scent for Spring and Summer, with its refreshing fruit and floral notes. They are truly a luxurious brand with an array of complex scents. I’m really glad to have come out of retirement and I’m glad my first candle venture was with Bijou Luxury Soy Candles. Left behind was this beautiful, sturdy candle vessel that now takes up residence on my office desk. I was able to burn the candle all the way down without difficulties. I would say their estimation of a 70 hour burn time is pretty accurate. I really liked that part, because I was able to relish this candle for hours on end. The candle burned a super long time, too. That was definitely on me, though…no fault of the candle at all! Once I let the candle burn a bit too long, and there was some sooting on the side of the jar. My flame stayed tame throughout the life of the candle, as long as I managed to keep the wick nice and trimmed. I had to burn my candle several hours on the first burn to get a full wax melt pool, but that was expected. ![]() I had a fairly even burn with my Bette candle. It was not overpowering, as some floral-based scents can be, but it did fill up the room and beyond. I had it burning in my guest bathroom and I could smell it on into the hallway and bedroom. No, this scent was much more complex and definitely got me in the summer mood. The sharp black currant scent cut across just enough to keep this from being “just a floral” scent. I was expecting more of a rose smell, but the floral elements smelled more white floral to me. The first thing I noticed were some of the green notes, hinting easily at a burst of summer to come. While that sounds simple enough, this candle was anything but. Scent notes: hazy summers, pitchers of sangria, garden parties. The lingering scent of freshly cut roses leaves you longing for more. Muddled summer berries and sweet black currant draw you in. I was hopeful that this candle would do the trick to get me in the summer frame of mind. I must want to burn it! Since we had just been caught up in a lingering cold snap, I found myself longing for warmer weather. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter how lovely a candle is, it must smell good. ![]() We all know that all that glitters isn’t gold. Truthfully, everything about this candle felt luxurious and yes, I was already in love. The wax itself was off- white and there was a single, well-placed wick in the center. On the opposite was just the letter ‘b’ for Bijou. The scent name was delicately written on the jar in a laid-back, handwritten font, with the words “Summer Berries” written beneath. This candle had a lot of weight to it, whispering in my ear about its quality. Luxurious much? The glass bottom was clear and thick. The candles themselves are housed in an opaque vessel with a 22-k gold lined trim. The 10.5-ounce candles come individually boxed, ready for gift-giving (if you can dare to part with your candle). But the sheer beauty of these candles in general made my heart skip a beat. Ok, ok…Bette was my mother’s name (different spelling), so I’m sure that had something to do with the draw to this particular candle. I had a hard time choosing which scent I wanted to try, as all of the scents from Bijou Candles sounded enticing. And what a wonderful journey back into this true passion of mine! Oh my! When she asked me to review this new-to-me company, Bijou Luxury Soy Candles, I simply couldn’t resist. However, my good friend Christina knew just the words to draw me back in: Luxury. ![]() Can we talk? Lately, I had found myself in a flurry of activities that had taken me away from my candle-loving world.
