Those of you who have been following my blog for some time are most likely aware that I have a penchant for scented candles. I love burning candles, especially when the colder seasons are approaching and melancholy has settled in.
I went to London on Thursday and finally got my hands on this covetable “Cannabis” candle from Malin+Goetz. It’s rapidly become a new favorite of mine. The peppery redolence is hands down extremely seductive and addictive – but fortunately it won’t put you behind bars, so I wouldn’t mind getting drugged on this candle. And burning it makes me high, lol, even though it doesn’t contain a sprinkle of cannabis. It also smells like men’s perfume, which might explain why I can’t stop sniffing at it – yes, I also have a soft spot for mens’ fragrances. One word: LOVE!
I am not surprised at all. I also bought this cannabis scent from Shanghai and it's absolutely divine. There's something so special about it that I cannot place (and believe me its not the pot because I hate the actual smell of pot) but the reason we both love it so much might because I like mens' fragrances as well.
haha awesome. love fragranted lights. xx
- Joy: Me too! I don't like the actual smell of pot, it reminds me of moist socks, lol. – Amalie: :)
I wonder how that would smell!!! I think I might have to track one down, good tip! <3skiepies.blogspot.com/
First I thought: What the heck? But now I think: It's awesome! If you have it in your room, everyone who walks in would freak out! Haha :D
Ha, when I read the title of your post I thought maybe that's why you haven't been posting in a while, you're addicted to pot. Oops! :-)
I love all of your posters!
Mmmm. Seems like it could possibly a great home scent. Earthy, musky, warm.
They're lovely, aren't they? It's the mood, more, for me. They really alter the atmosphere in a room….so long as they're not having a flicker fit! x
WTF, are you sure that the police won't come knocking at my door if I make it burning in my appartment? ;-)
i wonder if it actually smells similar? lolvestigialwings.blogspot.com
LOL! Nice candles, they look very artyXO Charlottewww.thefashionguitar.com
I seriously think you would like APC toumbac – its got the same kind of mens cologne-y nature to it, and it's so fragrant. redolent, yes, is a better word. This is quite funny and I like how dark it is. Can't wait to hear all about london!!x
I would love to see more pictures of your room!
Also I would suggest trying Jonathan Adler's Hash candle as well.
- Amanda: LOL!! Maybe I was. This candle is post-rehab for me. – Lapin de Lune: They definitely alter the atmosphere! I like burning candles when I'm down in the dumps as they have the power to cheer me up.- la prescriptrice: Lol! It smells better than actual pot!- hannah-rose: I ADORE the APC toumbac. It's one of my favorites. Malin + Goetz also has one called "tobacco" and the scent is redolent of the toumbac. – Cornerstate: Haha, no, you don't!- Alyssa: Haha, hash candle!! Thanks for the tip!
I would love to try it since I love heavier and mens perfumes! where exactly in London you got it?
Mmmm Malin + Goetz products smell heavenly. I got the travel sample bag and love the vitamin e moisturizer, grapefruit facial cleanser and bergamot body wash.
- Alcohols: At Liberty! You have to visit Liberty if you haven't! They carry all the obscure, cult brands, which you can't find anywhere else. – L.L.: Agreed! I've only tried their face scrub and it wasn't amazing, unfortunately.
Oh no! I don't think their forte is skincare but their products smell so good. I buy their soaps and put them in my clothing drawers so they smell nice. I have a perfume called petitgrain (?) that's unisex and I use it in the fall.
Its so fun to see a dutch postcard on your wall! because im dutch myself :)
- L.L.: Oh, really? Thanks for the tip. I want to do that too!- Anne: What does it say? The postcard is from a movie called "Vivre sa vie".
I love the prints you have on your wall! And the text on the "Vivra sa vie" postcard means something like 'experience his life'! ;)
@Fleurette: I’m Dutch too and noticed that poster as well, haha. It says: Experiencing his life.
I adore men’s perfumes but hate the smell of cannabis… so I’m not so sure what I’d think about the smell of this candle haha. However, I adoooore scented candles too :)
I wish we could smell things through internet!!!
How much is it?
Where can I buy it?
I bought it at Liberty in London, and it costs 37 GBP. I’m sure you can find it on barneys.com for instance.
in love with this candle and the general feeling your room seems to give off.
This is sold and burned at the shop I work, at first it was akward to sell, but now it’s out of stock again :D
