Review: Delirium & Co. China Tea Candle

Inspired by idealistic periods in history, Delirium & Co. is a romantic and stylish home fragrance line that will bring a touch of luxury and sophistication to any space. Encased in a unique, hand-made translucent reflective glass and housed in a modern chic box, these rich fragrances will leave a lasting scent that will invoke moods and create memories. Delirium and Co. candles come in two collections: “The Silver Period” and “The Blue Period”, each period creating its own unique ambiance:

Delirium & Co. candle Silver Period is an enveloping set of fragrances that invoke beauty, glamour, elegance and style. Imagine Silver Screen Legends Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly indulging in the “Silver Period”, a sultry time when raw beauty co-existed with strength, vulnerability and femininity.

Delirium & Co. candle Blue Period marks a journey of commanding fragrances that tantalize the senses. Dark, mysterious and regal, the “Blue Period” invokes a time of long ago European splendor, capturing the essence of royalty and sophistication, a time when men were brave, suave and chivalrous.



Review: I received the Delirium & Co. China Tea ($38) candle, which is a sophisticated and exotic blend of bergamot, Ceylon tea, citrus accord, tea blossoms, raspberry and seaside moss. I wasn't expecting to like this candle so well since I was judging by the name of the fragrance. It has a strong, perfumey scent. I could smell it even before I got it out of the box! I almost hated to burn it since it smells so good. Since it is soy candle (my personal favorite), it burns clean and is long lasting (55+ hours of burn time). I wish I had a perfume that smells good as this candle! I wouldn't mind trying out the two other candles in "The Silver Period" collection, the Delicate Bouquet (reminiscent of Slatkin's famous White Flowers candle) and Pear & Violet (reminiscent of Slatkin's famous Green Tea & White Pear candle).
