Thé et Pain d’Épices Candle
June 27th, 2006
Thé et Pain d’Épices (Tea and Gingerbread) candle by L’Artisan Parfumeur is one of my favorite cold weather candles. Its rich and slightly smoky aroma is almost identical to L’Artisan Parfumeur Tea For Two perfume. The perfume features the notes of ginger, cinnamon, green anise, honey, and vanilla. Both produce the effect of chai tea or gingerbread latte that’s not syrupy-sweet or cloying. I adore its honeyed smokiness. It conjures up the image of black tea brewing while gingerbread is baking in the oven. It transforms the room into a warm and cozy place where you just want to curl up with a blanket and a good book.
L’Artisan candles have one of the best throws. The aroma envelopes the room and lingers for hours.
The candle is available at Luckyscent, Aedes as well as L’Artisan Parfumeur online shop.

This is my ultimate comfort scent candle. I’d panic if they ever discontinued it (knocks on wood, tosses salt over shoulder).

Hmmmm. . .this might be the solution to my Tea for Two problem. I really like it at the beginning, but the drydown doesn’t work on me. It’s clearly my chemistry, so the candle might be the way to go. . . .

Elle, it’s definitely a comfort scent candle. I hope they don’t entertain such daring thoughts.

Sounds delicious. I have been meaning to re-try Tea for Two for a long time, I even have samples, but I was afraid. It was indescribably…vile on me when I sampled it in the past.
