So much has been happening over at Little Victory Candles’ booth. Not only have they introduced new celebratory labels to customize their clean-burning candles, but they’ve also re-introduced 8 mind-blowing scents!

Unleash the outdoors with one of their musky, woodsy scents, such as:

·      Soyance helps you live out your inner-hippie with it’s earthy, yet slightly-sweet blend of champa, tobacco and sandalwood

·      Elon’s Musk combines the fresh scents of rosemary and peppermint with the muskiness of champa for a subtle masculine aroma

·      Cottage’s woodsy combination of pine, cedar atlas and sandalwood takes you right back into nature.

Anyone interested in something sweet? Check out these three new scents:

·      Mellow Marsha is the perfect combination of vanilla, sandalwood and bourbon for a subtle sweet aroma.

·      Beach Bum will remind you of the perfect summer treat. Its blend of pineapple, mango, vanilla and blood orange will make you wish you were tanning on the beach.

·      Cinnamon Spiced Vanilla Bun of Merriment combines the two best scents of any local bakery: vanilla and cinnamon.

Can’t choose between floral or citrus? Little Victory Candles has got you covered.

·      Flora perfectly combines the floral scents of lavender, bergamot and orange blossom with soothing chamomile for a relaxing fragrance.

·      Citrus + Sage will always make a room smell fresh with its summer citrus scent.

Over at Little Victory Candles, Lucas and Julia want to help you celebrate every little victory in your life. You can now add a celebratory sticker to any of their hand-poured, soy candles! A few of the options include “Let’s Party”, “Congratulations” and “Happy Birthday”.
