My infatuation with scented candles started much later than what my friend hoped to inspire in me. I was given a scented candle when I was 15 years old. I didn't fall in love with that mystic flame then.
A few Christmases ago, I walked to my favourite Ginger body range displayed in Robinsons (raffles city). At Origins, that was the first time I found out that my favourite scent comes in candle form. Enticed by the scent, I bought the candle without any idea of what I'm gonna do about it. You see, I have no room of my own. And if my mum found out that I spent a few ten dollar notes on ONE candle, I would likely perish like the candle wax of a litted candle. Not a very desirable prospect.
I finally lit my candle this year. All inspired by the fact that the odour after cooking lingered in my hostel apartment. And the smell did not completely disappear after I lit the candle for 8 hours.
I was then inspired to look for more potent candles or other forms of home fragrances. I am delighted to see the candles going on 50% sale at Crabtree & Evelyn. And best of all, Shanghai Tang has the scent I've been yearning for since I walked past Tiffany & Co as well as Shanghai Tang. Now 'ginger flower' is mine!
