I love burning candles when I'm relaxing at home, but in recent months, I hadn't found any new scents that got me really excited. (I can be kind of picky about the ones I like). And then I got my hands on candles from the new Godiva Home Fragrance Collection and everything changed. I'm obsessed with them now. Obsessed. The candles come in amazing scents like Raspberry Ganache, Black Almond Truffle, and Holiday Peppermint Bark and as amazing as that sounds, smelling them is actually more amazing. You know how sometimes you buy a candle and even after you've been burning it for awhile, you can't smell anything? That's the exact opposite of what happens with the Godiva candles. From the second you open the box, the scent wafts out into the air with a mouth-watering chocolate smell. The word "yummy" really is the only description that fits. While it's burning, the candle scents the entire room, and even after you blow it out, you can still smell it lingering in the air for hours. (Even after the one that I'm currently burning has been out for hours, I can still walk by and smell the chocolate scent. It's that strong). When I first saw them, I figured they were going to be super expensive, but they're really not at only $22.50 for a large-sized candle that comes packaged in the signature Godiva gold box. (So pretty and perfect for gift giving!) My current favorite is the Black Almond Truffle, which was inspired by Godiva's Roasted Almond Truffle. The scent is roasted black almonds and dark chocolate which is mixed with a touch of golden honey, black pepper and vetiver essences. It's so, so good. I've been making everyone who comes over smell it and they've all instantly become hooked as well. There's only one problem - after burning one of these candles, it's impossible for me not to want to run out immediately and buy a box of some real Godiva, so it's very possible burning these candles is going to make me have to kick my gym time up a notch. (Or, uhm, go at all...) Totally worth it!
