With some stunning offerings on the market this year, light one of these bad boys up and enjoy the romantic aroma for longer than a bunch of blooms hangs around for.
Here, we share our top six picks to check out this V’day.

CARRIERE FRERES La Rose Aime la Menthe Candle
Discovered in Turkey, the damascus rose proudly exhibits its exquisite corolla of petals in order to reveal the finesse of its scent.

When cold, the scent of fresh mint stands out and when warm, the soft perfume of rose prevails. Together they assert a subtle and intoxicating character.
