Candles to Transport You to France (June Giveaway!)

Clare V candles for 3 lucky winners.

Congrats to Jeni S. for winning our May giveaway to Petra Hardware!

For June, we have a delightful present for three (3) separate Schmatta paid readers.

Quick reminder if you are new here: Paid Schmatta subscribers are automatically entered to win a hand-selected gift each month.

My husband bought me Clare V’s Saint Calais candle for Christmas and it didn’t last long because I lit it every. single. day. The scent is inspired by “Clare's home in the Loire Valley in France” and features notes of cedarwood, oak, moss, palo santo, and smoky cade. And three of you will get one!

Basically it smells expensive. And like France. Which is pretty much the perfect combo. But also, Clare V makes some other candles I’d gladly spend money on: Le Bureau (“an homage to Clare’s father’s library”); Jour de Fête (a bright candle with notes of fresh mint, basil, green tea); and Angie (Clare’s signature scent).

If you’re already a paid subscriber, no need to take any action — you’re already entered. If you want a chance to win, you know what to do. I’ll pick the winner on June 30.

Best of luck! And as always, feel free to comment if there are brands you love and would like to see for a giveaway.
