Modern Light Candles Review and Giveaway

"Modern Light candles was founded on the belief that everyone's space should be filled with
 warmth, scent, and life."

"We are distinctly focused on bringing you high- quality, sophisticated scents that evoke a specific mood and captivate the senses. Part science, part creativity, our highly-fragranced candles are custom blended, individually hand-poured and made of 100% pure soy wax. We use lead free wicks exclusively and each candle is designed to provide more than 50 hours of intoxicating scent 
and flickering modern light."


As I'm sure you all know by now, I'm a HUGE candle lover. I could go on and on about how I love to smell different candles and find out how each one is unique not only in it's scent, but also in it's design and make.  When Modern Light Candles contacted me to review one of their 100% pure soy wax candles, of course, I said "Yes!" They had so many amazing scents to choose from too:

  • Bourgeoisie
  • Flora N 23
  • Kaya
  • Midnight Noir
  • Pandora's Box
and the scent I choose to review, which is Fresh Cut Grass. 
I live in West Virginia and I love the smell of Spring. I love it when it rains and the grass has just been cut. This candles reminds me just of that. It has this amazing scent that makes me long for Spring to get here even faster. 

9 oz. Over 50 hrs of burn time

These candles look very simple and clean. Not very flashy or eye catching, but they make themselves noticeable through their scent. When I had this lite in my kitchen, I had people asking, "What is that amazing smell?" I also noticed that when I had this candle lite, and one of my other candles lite at the other end of the house, my modern light candle didn't "go through" nearly as much wax as my other candle. Looking to get into a Spring-like mood faster? Then this candle is perfect for you! I can't wait to try out all of the other scents, too.

I would either choose Fresh Cut Grass or Flora No 23. Lol. Hubby said about the Fresh Cut Grass 'what you light it and automatically go to sneezing?'. Smarty britches. I bet it smells absolutely amazing. That's one of my favorite smells in the whole world.
