Candles have come a long way since the artificial blueberry obscenities that derailed us from the soothing subtleties we hoped for when inducing flicker and flame. In today’s mercantile market, your best bets for banking on these near narcotic indulgences are nary an impulse buy, unless your impulses allow you upwards of $45+. But true to cliché, you do get what you pay for. And to truly trip the light fantastic, best to consult your neighborhood candle connoisseur for an investment destined to get you glowing. Welcome. You’ve come to the right read.

If the name Susan Foster makes you scratch your head in familiarity, there’s a reason. Her premiere jewelry line has a Hollywood following longer than most books I’ve read since college. When the announcement of her high-end candle line released, we awaited the launch with appropriate and unabashed anticipation. Drum roll please.

The five fragrances composing The Susan Foster Candle line complete a pent-tapestry of olfactory elegance, sensual sophistication, and a love of luxury so sincere it quite literally taints the air. With poetic entitlements as provocative as the fragrances they effuse, each candle is the formulated result of a French perfumer and all natural environmentally sound excellence. Muse, Siren, Spiritus, Sunshine, and Forest complete the line. Let the silver embossed encasings be a precursor to the level of lavishness you’re about to encounter.

My favorite? Spiritus. An illuminating fragrance that delights in scent and story. Created with the intent to feed and freshen the soul, young green rose, rare herbs, and fresh fig unite to bring the sunrise wherever it glows.

This is LA. There’s a candle on every corner. Susan Foster’s candles prove positive that a penchant for precision, purity, and a poetic soul make for magnificent product output. Available exclusively at: Room with a View, Palmetto, Kaviar and Kind, Marie Mason, and Number One Beauty.

If ever there was a way to wax poetic, my friends, this is it.
