Lubin perfumed candles

On my recent trip to Paris I visited one of my favourite perfume houses 'Lubin'. They are in their new store located at 21 rue des Cannette, 75006 Paris. Upon walking into the store my eyes were immediately drawn to the display of candles. The candles were exclusive to the boutique in Paris.

Needless to say I pursuaded the owner of Lubin, Gilles Thevenin to let me have them for the store. They have just arrived and are beautiful. I adore the monogram on the front of the glass.

12 divine fragrances - amber, oud, tea rose, muguet, Baies, Jasmine...... I just love them!!

Price at $99 each with a 60 hour burn time they are certainly worth your consideration if you love perfumed candles, they are exquisite.
