LA JOLIE MUSE Santal Rose Scented Candle – Saffron, Rose & Leather | 6 oz Natural Soy Wax | 40 Hours Clean Burn | Gift-Ready for Hosts & Gatherings | Elegant Home Decor

The media could not be loaded. TL;DR I'm 100% going to be a repeat customer for the Santal Rose candle (for moi and gifting).OK, so, here's the thing... Fragrances are SO personal. When someone recommends a scent, I find that it can be hard to gauge the value of the recommendation unless I understand a bit about the recommender's scent preferences. So, I'll start by telling you a bit about scents I like before digging into the nuances of my reactions to this candle.MY SCENT PROFILE: I live for interesting scents AND I'm super picky because really strong scents can trigger migraines for me. Plus, I've been burned (pun intended, hehe) by candles that seemingly smell great, but have a lackluster payout when you actually light them. And there are a bevy of scents that are a HARD cringe for me. For example, I'm very much turned off by sickly sweet and gourmand fragrances that often plague the holiday season (I'm looking at you, PSL). I'm drawn to a range of fragrances, from fresh and aquatic (Bon Parfumeur 801) to clean and musky (Bulgari Eau Parfumée Au Thé Blanc). Usually, I make mood-dependent choices about which fragrance to choose for the day.When I think about my perfume library, some of my go-to fragrances that this candle brings to mind are:• Chloé Eau de Parfum• Narciso Rodriguez For Her• Tocca CleopatraABOUT THIS CANDLE: For me, rose is one of those scents that can be hit or miss... in my experience, it's a fine line between cloyingly floral and softly elegant. This candle absolutely falls into the second category! In addition to having a really lovely, gentle scent that envelopes the room, the delicately patterned pink glass container is so. dang. pretty. I'm definitely repurposing the container for cotton swabs in my bathroom after the candle is used up. This candle isn't as cheap as options you'll find at Marshall's or TJ Maxx, but I've found that I get what I pay for when I've bought candles at those stores. I think this candle's gorgeous diffusive fragrance is worth the price. I super recommend this candle as a treat to yourself or a sweet gift for your Anthropologie-obsessed friends.BONUS: A pro tip to help your candles last longer: Use a candle warmer or you can chip off pieces of the candle and use a wax melt warmer.)

I purchased this for a gift to go with a candle burning lamp. It smells great (which I was worried about with ordering a candle). The jar is very luxe and pretty, neutral color is great for any room.

Love it, smells so good and looks just beautiful.

Unfortunately very worth the price. The container is super cute and it has a true rose smell that isn't overpowering. I also purchased the chesapeake bay rose candle and I prefer this one quite a bit more in terms of scent.

This candle exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I opened the box, I could tell it was a premium product—the packaging is elegant and gift-worthy, and the candle itself has a clean, minimalist design that fits beautifully into any room.The scent is rich yet balanced—not overpowering, but strong enough to fill the space with a soothing, luxurious aroma. It creates a spa-like atmosphere that’s perfect for winding down after a long day. I’ve tried several scents from LA JOLIE MUSE, and each one has been consistently high-quality and long-lasting.The burn is clean and even, with no tunneling or excessive smoke. It’s clear that care went into the formulation and craftsmanship. Whether you're treating yourself or looking for a thoughtful gift, this candle is a fantastic choice.

I love this candle! The color is super cute, the scent is great, and the container is beautiful. When the candle is done, you can reuse it as a decoration at home.

UPDATED: customer service went above and beyond to fix this. They truly care about making their customers happy and feeling valued. In just over a week, they had sent me two replacement candles in my two favorite scents, one of them was actually larger and more expensive than the original candles I ordered. Such great service. If you're on the fence about trying one of their candles, I highly recommend making that purchase since this company will do whatever they can to make your experience a pleasant one.Hurts not to give 5 stars but I bought two of the fruity berry ones and both smelled like burning hair or burning rubber. The smell was so bad I had to light my Moroccan Amber candle to flush it out. I looove this brand and have purchased way too many of their candles. Even after receiving these unusable candles, I ordered 6 more of other scents. I keep some on hand for gifts and they're always a huge hit. I love upcycling these jars. Just wish I could smell this one the way it's meant to smell because I was quite excited to try it.

Beautiful candle & scent. Just doesn't burn evenly- which is very disappointing bc at this price I would expect it to. I can get much cheaper candles that burn evenly.
