I am very big into my candles, mainly for the scent in order to give that special ambience to a room. These candles ooze class and sophistication. The candles are also superb quality. I have only tried a couple so far with the Abbey being my clear favourite. i shall be back for more!

Every time I pass by this candle “THE ABBEYE” in my house (lit or not), it triggers something really strong in me: Memories, Home, Friendships. Living in Barbados, and thus far from our families, the unique scent that emerges from THE ABBEYE candle has become addictive for me. It is a very deep and reassuring fragrance, with accents of leather and old wood.
The elegance of the candle, that timeless look of luxury, were even more reasons for me to decide to decorate our home in South of France with 6 of them. To infuse it with that smell that I am simply addicted to and make it our signature “welcome scent”, to all the friends and family who come and visit.

I love this candle. Its value for money is superb as it burns for an amazing amount of time. However I have found that actually as soon as it is lit, the fragrances are intense and wonderfully calming. I was incredibly lucky to receive one as a gift and now I just keep going back to buy more. If you love candles, then buy this one. I can not recommend it enough.
