Neroli, Rose, & Light Musk Soy Candle ✦ Butterfly Haven

I'm loving this candle. When I first opened it and took a sniff, it made me think of a cozy shop filled with books, crystals and candles, plants and overstuffed chairs by a couple windows, some incense perfuming the air, with maybe a cat snoozing by the register.

This is a nice twist on the pumpkin spice trend, with the notes of buttercream and brown sugar making it a sweeter-scented candle, but still having a nice autumn vibe.

Elena's candles are so magical and these are no different. I was really glad to get them in a travel size since I was able to experience a wider range of her collection this way!

Moonstone: If moonlight had a smell, it would be this. It's simultaneously cool and gentle, with the vanilla and powder notes balancing the musk and oakwood. It feels delicate, like satin. While it has a lighter throw it still has a presence when you burn it.

Oak Grove: Perfect for a sunny autumn day! For me the honey notes make up the most of this candle, but it feels slightly sweeter with the vanilla. There is a woodiness underlying it for balance too. It's warm and cozy the way sunshine and a cool breeze through autumn leaves are cozy.

Storyteller: My favorite of the three! It's an earthier scent but it's not like anything I've smelled before. Somehow Elena managed to capture the smell of rain on rocks, wet earth, and hearth all at once. I can't stop smelling it! It makes me think of Lord of the Rings or a similar fantasy type vibe. It's great!

I adore this soap! It’s a little more leather forward than the candle version, but it’s a soft, supple suede like leather.
It's lovely! The vanilla is dry and dark, and rounds the scent out beautifully. As with the candle, it’s all night skies and old grimoires.. Highly recommend!

This. THIS! My new all-time favorite candle. I actually squealed when I opened the lid for the first time. This is a dragon. A sweet and cuddly one, yes, but a towering, fire breathing, glittering scaled beauty of a dragon. The amber is warm and resinous, grounded by the musk, topped off with the deep, gorgeous cedar and topped with spice.. I can’t explain how amazing this smells. Smoky and warm and deep..This is every magical fantasy adventure I’ve ever wanted. It’s perfect.

EarthBerry has made me love citrus and fruit in a way I never expected. This one is rich and dark, but still so crisp and clean. This is amazing for the cooler days, it’s cozy and comforting and warm.. HIGHLY recommend this one!!

Gorgeous! Rich, creamy florals, deep amber, sweet and heady.. this one feels especially nice on the skin, and the smell is almost intoxicating. Moonflower is always beautiful, but this blend isn’t too floral, it’s just right. Beautifully feminine. If you like Morgana, this is worth a try, too! It’s so lovely.

Oh, how I love this. This smells like building sandcastles, splashing in cool water, and sunshine. Breezy warm days, no worries, seashells, all of it. I don’t know how it’s possible for this to be so authentic, but wow. So good!

I just love this one, it’s cozy summer in bar form! It’s so light and fresh for the warmer days, not too sweet, not too green. Magic!!

I already adore this in candle form, so I knew it would be fantastic, but wow. The grounding woodiness and ivy lead very well, with the touch of sea breeze to add that sweet, aquatic lift.. it’s just so lovely. Like every soap I’ve tried, it feels amazing, clean, no reside or heaviness, and you’ll smell wonderful all day!

This soap is amazing. I genuinely don’t think my skin has ever felt this nice. The exfoliation is perfect.. not too rough or scratchy, and it smells divine. Not just coffee, but like waking up to a perfect hazelnut latte made by magical fairies. It’s divine!

Finally got around to writing this review after using this soap (I was waiting for the chilly season). It’s beautiful—the smell of cardamom and tea is incredibly cozy and it fills the entire bathroom when I shower. It lingers on my skin for so long afterward too, which I adore. The soap itself is creamy and suds really well. It’s honestly perfect for when you’ve had a long day and want to unwind with a comforting bath or shower. It feels like a hug. I cut the soap in half, just to make it last longer.

I think I overlooked this one because of the grapefruit note, I find it can be too loud if not done right. I regret not trying this sooner. The citrus in this is PERFECT, it blends exceptionally well with the patchouli. No note overtakes another. A late night on the edge of the end of summer, twinkling stars above, warm earth below... the description couldn’t be better, this *sparkles*.

Suddenly I was in a hobbit hole, planning a party, waiting for a wonderful wizard to arrive.. I’m not sure if it’s the tobacco or the spices, but I absolutely feel like a hobbit when this burns.. neither are too loud, but they are quite comforting. The orange is lovely and gives it a bit of an edge… this is warm, this is happy, and I think the Shire must not be too many worlds away from Mosswood.. so lovely. Excellent throw on this one!

I ADORE nag champa, my dad burned it a lot while I was growing up, and it smells like home. I didn’t realize how extremely comforting this would be! If you’re hesitant about incense, don’t be - the amber keeps this very balanced and clean, while still giving you the best of that perfect nag champa scent. Lovely as always, and the salt is sooo nice! My skin feels great! (Along with my heart)
