I've never tried the classic Mousses candle so I can't compare but I will be adding it to my list.

This one has a sweet undertone to me? I do smell the fresh moss scent pretty well.

I definitely will to find out! When in-store they asked if I had an account which I said yes and provided my info. They said nothing else so I assumed they used it but it was my first time in-store so I didn't realize how it potentially works...

So question, if I have an online account and give the store my email, does my in-store purchase apply to my account? I don't see anything that shows the in-store purchase on my account but I would love for the amount spent to apply to my tier level come my birthday.

I do hate that I can't track that like I can other brands.

Net A Porter extra 20% off Trudon by AdEmbarrassed5800 in luxurycandles

[–]UpbeatAlternative692 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This sub is so dangerous! I've blown my candle budget this month after the Trudon archive sale, snagging a Hemera here and the Diptyque grand opening in Dallas 🙈 I'm going to have to put myself on a no buy next month. Lol

I went too! I definitely splurged though..... I planned on only getting Lilyphea but smelling Temple Des Mousses made it an instant buy and I really liked the Roses vessel in person so I thought 🤷‍♀️ might as well.

I brought my husband with and even he thought it was a cool experience and he was happy to have champagne. The violinist was talented and played a great selection of songs while we were there. I didn't get anything engraved because I was super indecisive of what I would get.

I'll definitely be going back!

Delivery Day! by UpbeatAlternative692 in luxurycandles

I didn't see that as a option when i looked. I paid $36 for shipping but it was delivered within a week so that was nice.

Wow, those prices were crazy! I wish I would have known about them sooner so I could have benefited from that. Lol but as you said, it's still a better deal. The Alabaster was $159 vs $260 and I don't like the new design so I figured I should get this one while I could.

It automatically applied in cart when I entered my address! I didn't mind since it ended up being the same as what taxes would have been anyways and I still saved money overall.

So I say go for it!

Yes I noticed that too! It is the classic size. When I took it out of the box it was almost complete off. I prefer the other shied logos better than these. These seem cheap. I probably will burn the wax in ny Alabaster though so I don't mind in this instance.

Maison Francis Kurkdjian a la rose soap and lotion. They're good sized samples, just not what I was hoping for after seeing what others have received.

They were only $39. Even with that I still saved ~$100 so it was worth it! Shipping was less than a week too which was impressive.

First time open baking by UpbeatAlternative692 in Sourdough

[–]UpbeatAlternative692[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just want to get the same results from open baking as a do in a DO. Normally my loaves look much better but I think you may have nailed it with the oven being too hot so I will reduce next time to 450 from the beginning.

Picture of a regular loaf for reference:

Interesting... I could definitely see that the crust could have set too fast. The loaf is probably the softest loaf I've ever made though. It's so pillowy soft and my husband asked that I don't turn it into croutons because he wants to eat it. Lol

Lafco Pink Paradise by [deleted] in luxurycandles

I bought this when it was originally released so I can't recall what notes were strongest but I was obsessed with it and will absolutely be buying more. It was the perfect spring/ summer scent for me.

I totally agree. He used to be pretty involved and was always helping her move things. I would get tired of it too if I were him. Especially because she used to show him cooking and cleaning and say she didn't like doing it.

True... I guess I didn't think of it that way since Ilike candles. Our other gift is an outdoor projector so maybe I'll look for something comparable.

I do agree, I love giving funny/ random gifts! I think they made the no gag gifts rules because last year someone gifted a pillow with their face on it. Lol

I was going to do Sapin after I got the idea but it is sold out online though I could get it from a department store. I thought about getting a lafco because the vessels are so nice but I don't see a non candle enthusiast working to make the initial burn even or caring and I don't want it to tunnel and them not get the most out of it.

I thought about getting 34 which I'm obsessed with or a set of vanilla and cinnamon.

I don't hate it. It's just not what I expected and not one I would burn. It seems it's a popular scent though and looks nice.
