Votivo candles are one of those trendy phenomena that suddenly seem to pop out of nowhere. Although these candles have been around since 1994, these made in the USA products have only become big news since 2002, when Oprah Winfrey admitted that she adores these candles more than virtually all others. Since then, many celebrities, interior designers, and homeowners have all flocked to buy Votivo candles.

Well I don’t usually follow trends, but I have to admit that Votivo candles are different. I love them as much as the next person, and even though they are very trendy, I still adore them. Why? There are lots of reasons. One is the high quality. These candles last for an unprecedented 50 hours of burning time. This means that when I invest in beautiful Votivo candles, I get my money’s worth. These candles last and last, so I can enjoy their delicious scent. Best of all, unlike cheaper candles, Votivo candles maintain their fragrance until the last drop of wax has been burnt. They are hand poured from the highest quality wax, so they really create a wonderful fragrance.

Following the trend in luxury candles, Votivo candles come in very complex scents, mimicking the finest perfumes. This means that unlike most candle scents, these candles are scented with fragrances that have several notes. It is a little like an orchestra for your nose. The company also produces a wide range of collections, each with its own unique products and scents. You can spend a lifetime exploring all the products and fragrances available. You can choose from Votivo Aromatic Candles, Votivo Color Candles, Votivo Garden Collection, Votivo French Collection, Votivo French Pots, Votivo Body/Room Sprays, Votivo Soap, Votivo Burning Sticks, Votivo Garden Incense, Votivo Flowers Collection, Votivo Bath & Body, Votivo Cafe Collection, Kyoto Soy Collection, Votivo White Collection, and the Votivo Portofino Collection. I love this, because it means that I can mix and match to choose best fragrances. For example, thanks to the wide range of collections, I can choose Votivo candles that match Votivo Bath products, that match Votivo room sprays, and so forth. I can scent my entire room — and even myself — with my favorite fragrances. It doesn’t hurt to that many of the fragrances are dead ringers. Votivo candles in lilac, lavender, and rose scents, for example are dead ringers for the actual flowers. I’ve had people wander into my house and ask me where all the flower bouquets were — the fragrances are that accurate.

I also have to admit that I love the sheer luxury factor of Votivo candles. Unlike other candles, these candles come with beautiful packaging, rich fragrances, and just overall beauty. It really makes me feel like I’m opening a box of fine French perfume or a box of delicious chocolate every time I open a new package of Votivo candles. I also love the fact that these candles are so practical. I tuck my unopened Votivo candles into dresser drawers and linen closets, where they fragrance absolutely everything. Then, I remove the candles and light them in my home for even more fragrance. I even keep the beautiful packaging and reuse it to store paper clips and other small items. Even the packaging has a delicious fragrance — so I don’t mind tucking it into my closet for even more fragrance.
