Neom Luxury Organics - 'Harmonise' Triple Wick Candle

'Out of clutter, find simplicity'
 NEOM - 'Harmonise' Organic Candle* - £39.50, also available in travel size for £15. 
100& Natural Wax and Pure Essential Oils.
No synthetic scents, paraffin wax, black smoke or toxins.

One of the latest products to launch from Neom Organics is their Harmonise candle, scented with Pine, Cedarwood and Eucalyptus with underlying green hibiscus and deep wood notes. All of their candles are hand poured in the UK, made from a special blend of 100% natural vegetable waxes and essential oils, nothing synthetic is added and they burn for up to 50 hours.
As a chef, I have quite a stressful job. The hours are long, you're constantly on the go and there's always something else to do, it's a male dominated industry and sometimes as a female, you have to work twice as hard to prove your worth and show you can do the job just as well, if not better! In the Hospitality Industry, most places have a high turnover in terms of chefs as stress is a big issue, not to mention that alcoholism, drug abuse and depression are also common. A working week for me can be anything from 50 hours to 80 without a break, so taking time out to relax is essential. When I was offered the chance to try out Neom's Harmoise candle which is aimed at those wanting to 'focus, treat tiredness, energize and help concentration' as well as working as a holistic treatment, I instantly said yes!

As you open the box and release the candle from its casing, you're instantly hit with a fresh woody, eucalyptus scent that fills the room - and that's even before you've started burning it! Considering I usually opt for sweet scents I surprised myself by instantly warming to the fragrance which reminds me of long, country walks and the first deep breathe of air you take when you've been cooped up indoors all day and finally venture outside. It's a very refreshing, yet calming scent.
Described as being for times when 'you need a moment of restoration, to treat tiredness and to encourage focus. A gently energizing blend, perfect for helping clarity and concentration.' I'd have to agree. When a quiet moment opens itself up, I like to light up my Neom candle, open the latest book I'm reading (Bared To You, risque!) and get lost in the moment. When I re-surface, I feel refreshed and tranquil.
The candle itself is stunning, there's no glitter, or flashy ribbons - nor would there need to be. The triple wick, classic NEOM stamp, and simplistic, weighted glass are classy, simplistic but ooze luxury. With a price tag of £39.50 these are undoubtedly more expensive than most, but these would make a beautiful gift or a well deserved treat to yourself if you're stressed, studying, in need of relaxation or just adore candles as much as myself! 

I have my eye on the 'Invigorate' candle for when this one is all used up!
 Have you tried anything from Neom?

    1. me too! I adore the Jelly Belly ones as well, I doubt they're organic as they're £5.50 each but they smell AH-MAZING and they're really strongly scented. The Pineapple and Toasted Marshmellow scents are gorgeous! I think these would make a nice gift, if you had money spare! x
