Review: L’Occitane’s Holiday Confiserie Délice des Fruites Sweet Candle

Introduced earlier, one look at any of the sets in L’Occitane’s cute Holiday Confiserie Collection and it tempting just from the pretty names. Intrigued by all, I was super excited to get the chance to see if the Délice des Fruites would live up to its name of being a lemon and clementine scent. And what better way to do so than with a Sweet Candle from the line.

As a refresher, the line is described to be infused with the fragrant and delicious aromas that arise when sun-drenched citrus fruits are blended with sugar in copper pans in a small village in the south of France. Though lemon and clementine essential oils are also added for a scent that already seems really nice just from the description.

Being a candle, it’s not the usual “beauty product,” though I think just bring in a room that has been scented by one can be really soothing and at least put you in a relaxed state that your skin and mood can enjoy.

Packaged in a cute tin, I like that it’s a nicely convenient size. Within maybe 20 minutes or so, my room is nicely covered in the Délice des Fruites scent and I just want to eat it up…or take a catnap. Either works.

The scent itself is actually super nice. Reading about how it was mainly citrus fruits, I had expected something more on the refreshing side, sort of more lemony. Though I was pleasantly surprised to find that L’Occitane managed to make the clementine and lemon aromas have a sweet scent that is not too harsh.

While you do get the whiff of lemon, it’s more so clementine that comes through, but in a candy sense where it just smells sweet and makes you want to eat the air or inhale deeply as an alternative. I really love it and it works really well to warm you up even as it’s cold outside.

Overall: Amazing scent and I would assume that the other items in the same aroma line will give off the same delicious smell. For those that like a really warm, citrus candy scent that is sweet but subtle in its approach to surrounding you, I’d definitely recommend this candle. Plus it’s a nice alternative if you need a break from too many florals in your life.

Score: 5/5
