Kandor Living Top Five Fragrances
Maison Margiela is a luxury French Fashion house famous for its avant-garde approach to fashion. Their fragrance collection, Replica, was created in 2012 featuring a collection of unique and iconic scents that remain top sellers to this day. The idea behind the collection was to evoke memories that transport us to specific settings.

Replica happens to be one of my favorite fragrance brands due to its quality and unique candles. All of my Replica candles emits strong scents in my home without even having to light it up. But it’s not so strong that it becomes overwhelming. In addition to their lovely scents, the candles serve as a nice decor piece in your home. The minimalistic and conceptual design of the candles can add a hint of luxury to any space. I notice I’ve never experienced tunneling with these candles and the longevity is quite generous. With Maison Margiela Replica candles, you get what you pay for.

Replica By the Fireplace

Replica By the Fireplace

My favorite in the entire Replica collection, By the Fireplace is a such a beautiful candle. You may have heard me rave about this candle in a previous post, it’s one of my favorite candles, overall. If you’re into warm, sweet vanilla scents, you’ll love this candle. Consisting of a blend of chestnut, vanilla, and woody notes, this candle will transmit you to a cozy winter evening – making it the perfect holiday candle to gift someone. By the Fireplace is how I imagine staying at a nice cabin in Aspen would smell like. I was so intrigued by this scent, I ended up purchasing the diffuser and the perfume. The wax consists of a pretty crème brûlée color – it almost looks edible (of course it’s not). Also, I’ve gone through two of these candles so far and will continue to purchase this.

After purchasing the Jazz Club Fragrance, I had to purchase the Jazz Club candle. The Jazz Club fragrance took me by surprise mainly because I’m not drawn to smoky or spicy scents. Yet, they managed to create a scent inspired by cocktails and cigars smell so intoxicating. Because I loved the fragrance so much, I wanted the purchase a candle in the scent as well. The blend of rum, tobacco, and vanilla creates an ambiance that’s both comforting and intoxicating. A beautiful delight, Jazz Club is the perfect addition to an elegant evening. This scent really will transport you to a swanky cocktail bar with lovely Jazz music.

Burning and care

To preserve the quality of your candles, never light your candles more than four hours. Always use a candle snuffer instead of blowing out the candles yourself. This will help to effortlessly extinguish the flame and minimize smoke and wax splatter. Also, use a candle wick trimmer to trim the wick to obtain a length of 3-5 mm after each use.
