Ok, I confess. I'm a candle junkie. However, over a decade or more of intense addiction, I have developed a rarefied pallet for a candle that pleases me. A candle must, first and foremost, smell incredible. It must be long lasting and clean burning. It must be pretty enough to give as a gift, and it must be a good value.
Meet Kobo Candles. At Clever Girl we offer these in six wonderful fragrances, and they deliver on every level. The Sparkling Rose Candle, for example, has notes of Sparkling Green Leaf enrobed in a base of Pink Rose, Peony and White Orchid. It's simply springtime in a glass! Packaged in a lovely box that includes elegant matches and a snuffer lid, Kobo makes the perfect gift too, because it's ready to bestow as-is. Certainly this is a good thing to keep on hand for hostess/thank-you/oops-it's-her-Birthday emergencies. The price is not so precious that you'll feel guilty giving yourself one too. Oh, and did I mention they burn for more than 100 hours too?
