Le Cherche Midi

As a newlywed and new home owner, I especially enjoy burning scented candles in my home!  Few things are as enjoyable and relaxing as the warm glow of candlelight after a long day!  Given my adoration of candles and fine fragrance, I count myself especially lucky to have crossed paths with the divine experience that is Le Cherche Midi! 

Be warned:  ordering at http://www.lecherchemidi.com will change your entire outlook on candles, as well as the experience of fragrances for the home and body.  This company specializes in amazing concoctions for that part of yourself that yearns to be truly fabulous (and smell divine)!  The fragrances of Le Cherche Midi are sold as eau de toilettes for the body, as well as scented candles (both travel size and a 7.2 oz. larger size) and in the form of an innovative fragrance cube (the sophisticated answer to reed diffusers–without the reeds)! 

I originally ordered the fragrance sample set from Le Cherche Midi.  This sampler of all six “mainline” fragrances (they also create a “No. 57″ fragrance, exclusive to Bergdorf Goodman) is the best way to sample all the fragrances and choose a favorite!  The tiny glass sampler bottles are also elegant (no cheap plastic atomizers here)!   I was (very!) fortunate to sample a candle in the No. 9 fragrance, a travel candle in No. 14, and a fragrance cube in No. 20!  No. 9 stands out as a favorite for me (I burnt my candle to the quick–and it lasted many weeks!), but I also adore the fresh No. 14 and the warm, woodsy No. 20.  Check out the beautiful website at http://www.lecherchemidi.com to read more about the various fragrance notes.  Named only by number and a corresponding color, these fragrances allow each person to have an individual experience. 

The bottom line:  I will be back for more Le Cherche Midi!  Now that I’ve exhausted my treasured candle No. 9, I absolutely yearn for more!
