I tried 70 candles, and here are the 11 local ones you absolutely have to try

While I’ve started using scented candles since 2019, it became a daily habit in 2021. I have discovered a candle enthusiast community consisting of chandlers (candle makers), suppliers, and fellow candle enthusiasts. After trying over 70 candles in a span of two and a half years, I have narrowed it down to my top 11! Here’s what’s worth the splurge.

Event and review: Daphne Home Scents

One event I recently attended was the launch of Daphne Oseña-Paez's home fragrance and furniture line in Dimensione. I'd say it's one of the better functions I've been to lately! The second floor of Dimensione in High Street was transformed into a stylish high tea affair, quite deserving of Daphne's image as a stickler to detail and the evangelist for beautiful surroundings.

Watch the event unfold while Daphne tells the story of her new adventure. :)

Okay! I've been using the Daphne Home Scent in Mint Jasmine Infusion (P349) for a week now. How was it?

I like that the jasmine is not too pronounced - it smells quite sweet actually, with a hint of mint thrown in.
