Chocolate for Your Room

Editor's name: Cristina Jaleru

Chocolate for Your Room

Ambiance is not something that you can easily create, especially if it is hard to find the essences, colors and decorations that fit with your lifestyle. A legend regarding the aphrodisiac powers of chocolate has always circulated in the media and the advice columns for lost souls who did not know how to spice up their sex life in a less X-rated manner. Eat chocolate from your lover’s body, sprinkle chocolate dust all over, smear it, share it. Not so fast! Maybe some people are on diet, maybe some do not like to stain their silk sheets. What do you do with those dainty types? What if you want to enhance your home-spa experience in its relaxing scope without lifting a finger? If you really want to create a special atmosphere in your house for its own sake, an environment reminiscing of comforting memories or if you want to make nights a bit more romantic, use aromatic candles.


Thymes Fragrant Living has created a special collection of chocolate fragrant candles named aptly Au Chocolat. Their various flavors add inflections to the mood you want to create. The line includes six artistically blended fragrances that unwrap to reveal unique experiences in your own home. The combinations of chocolate, from milk to dark, are blended with the essence of fruits, exotic spices and other gourmet ingredients. Au Chocolat candles are naturally based on their ingredients which allow their burning for longer periods of time for up to 50 hours.


The Chocolat Cassis candle is made with a darker shade of cocoa infused with luscious cassis and wild raspberry, tinted with a shade of violet flower and finished with a bit of vanilla and caramel. If you did not know better, you would think it is edible. The cassis and violet resurrect a feeling of walking in walking around in Provence and feasting on delectable French dishes with a glass of wine on your side and merry friends around, while a large bouquet of violets on the table adds an unforgettable flavor to the night.


The Chocolat Saffron gives you leeway among the spice sellers in the crowded Indian market. Everyone is talking and luring you to their stands of enticing offerings but you follow your path to the ancient temple. Dark chocolate gives it a satisfying base while the coconut milk and vanilla add the exotic touch to the panorama.


The Chocolat Ginger awakes your senses and gives you an energy boost for house work or creative endeavors.


The Chocolate Latte comes in handy when you have had enough of caffeine for one day, but you still crave for that delicious smell rising from your cup. Unfortunately you can’t just stand in a coffee shop smelling the aromas when you have better things to do at home. Actually come to think about it, it is just plain weird just sniffing around coffee shops, but to indulge your secret desires, this candle comes in handy. Maybe it reminds you of mornings and people long time gone. Either way, its sweet and powerful scent will transport you on your desired plane.


The Chocolat Mandarin candle will transform your living room into an orchard of citrus trees where you can walk and recollect your thoughts. Bittersweet chocolate mixed with orange blossom and honey give it a punch of freshness.


The Chocolat Truffle would be the cherry on the cake for chocoholics everywhere. A deep infusion of dark chocolate with cocoa touches will make you think of your favorite sweet and enjoy it without the calories.


You can make your house into anything you want. You just need the scents and your mind to create it.
