Holiday Wishes




This is the thing that you see when you are out shopping and think of all the people it is going to be great for, but have to get one for yourself too. LAFCO's new Avenue candle came out just in time for holidays. The luxe, soy based candles have a 90 hour burn time and the beautiful metallic rimmed glass can be reused when it has finished.

Named after the most famous streets around the world that give the inspiration for these extraordinary fragrances. Exotic Lychee, White Tea, and Apricot are blended with a hint of Grapefruit for the luscious Canton Road reminiscent of Hong Kong. My friend that just moved back from a stint in England is getting Bond Street a blend of Earl Grey Tea & Bergamot, with a hint of Honey and Neroli. And to remind my husband and I of our fantastic trip to New York during the spring I am bringing home Madison Avenue, a sprightly scent of Flowering Dogwood, Thyme and Lemon.

The box is almost a gift in itself and makes a unbelievable presentation. Embossed metallic silver with and inner box that lifts out by the silver leather loop at the top. Swing open the door to reveal the candle nestled inside like a gem. All of this makes it look and feel like it was much more than just $42! Available at Entebello.
