Those of you who have been following my blog for some time are most likely aware that I have a penchant for scented candles. I love burning candles, especially when the colder seasons are approaching and melancholy has settled in.
I went to London on Thursday and finally got my hands on this covetable "Cannabis" candle from Malin+Goetz. It's rapidly become a new favorite of mine. The peppery redolence is hands down extremely seductive and addictive – but fortunately it won't put you behind bars, so I wouldn't mind getting drugged on this candle. And burning it makes me high, lol, even though it doesn't contain a sprinkle of cannabis. It also smells like men's perfume, which might explain why I can't stop sniffing at it – yes, I also have a soft spot for mens' fragrances. One word: LOVE!
I am not surprised at all. I also bought this cannabis scent from Shanghai and it's absolutely divine. There's something so special about it that I cannot place (and believe me its not the pot because I hate the actual smell of pot) but the reason we both love it so much might because I like mens' fragrances as well.
ReplyDeletehaha awesome. love fragranted lights. xx
ReplyDelete- Joy: Me too! I don't like the actual smell of pot, it reminds me of moist socks, lol.
ReplyDelete- Amalie: :)
I wonder how that would smell!!! I think I might have to track one down, good tip! <3

First I thought: What the heck? But now I think: It's awesome! If you have it in your room, everyone who walks in would freak out! Haha :D
ReplyDeleteHa, when I read the title of your post I thought maybe that's why you haven't been posting in a while, you're addicted to pot. Oops! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love all of your posters!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. Seems like it could possibly a great home scent. Earthy, musky, warm.
ReplyDeleteThey're lovely, aren't they? It's the mood, more, for me. They really alter the atmosphere in a room....so long as they're not having a flicker fit! x
ReplyDeleteWTF, are you sure that the police won't come knocking at my door if I make it burning in my appartment? ;-)
ReplyDeletei wonder if it actually smells similar? lol

I seriously think you would like APC toumbac - its got the same kind of mens cologne-y nature to it, and it's so fragrant. redolent, yes, is a better word. This is quite funny and I like how dark it is.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear all about london!!

I would love to see more pictures of your room!
ReplyDeleteAlso I would suggest trying Jonathan Adler's Hash candle as well.
ReplyDelete- Amanda: LOL!! Maybe I was. This candle is post-rehab for me.
ReplyDelete- Lapin de Lune: They definitely alter the atmosphere! I like burning candles when I'm down in the dumps as they have the power to cheer me up.
- la prescriptrice: Lol! It smells better than actual pot!
- hannah-rose: I ADORE the APC toumbac. It's one of my favorites. Malin + Goetz also has one called "tobacco" and the scent is redolent of the toumbac.
- Cornerstate: Haha, no, you don't!
- Alyssa: Haha, hash candle!! Thanks for the tip!
I would love to try it since I love heavier and mens perfumes! where exactly in London you got it?
ReplyDeleteMmmm Malin + Goetz products smell heavenly. I got the travel sample bag and love the vitamin e moisturizer, grapefruit facial cleanser and bergamot body wash.
ReplyDelete- Alcohols: At Liberty! You have to visit Liberty if you haven't! They carry all the obscure, cult brands, which you can't find anywhere else.
ReplyDelete- L.L.: Agreed! I've only tried their face scrub and it wasn't amazing, unfortunately.
Oh no! I don't think their forte is skincare but their products smell so good. I buy their soaps and put them in my clothing drawers so they smell nice. I have a perfume called petitgrain (?) that's unisex and I use it in the fall.
ReplyDeleteIts so fun to see a dutch postcard on your wall! because im dutch myself :)
ReplyDelete- L.L.: Oh, really? Thanks for the tip. I want to do that too!
ReplyDelete- Anne: What does it say? The postcard is from a movie called "Vivre sa vie".
I love the prints you have on your wall! And the text on the "Vivra sa vie" postcard means something like 'experience his life'! ;)
ReplyDelete@Fleurette: I'm Dutch too and noticed that poster as well, haha. It says: Experiencing his life.
ReplyDeleteI adore men's perfumes but hate the smell of cannabis... so I'm not so sure what I'd think about the smell of this candle haha. However, I adoooore scented candles too :)
I wish we could smell things through internet!!!
