Christina and I have always wanted to do a joint candle review, where we review the same candles at the same time.  This review is our first attempt.  We weren't really sure how to put it together, so we're kind of winging it.  We hope you enjoy it and if you have any compliments, suggestions or comments on how we could improve a joint review, please contact us.

A couple months ago, Pacifica Candles sent Christina and I a beautiful candle gift set to try called "Beloved Spice" that is now available on their site for Christmas. The set features 3 of Pacifica's luxuriouly scented 3oz. glass votives. The scents are Roman Frankincense, Mexican Cocoa and Zanzibar Cinnamon. As soon as I saw how beautifully packaged the gift set was and then sniffed the candles for the first time, I knew it would be the perfect gift to recommend to all of you for your Christmas shopping.

I think this Beloved Spice gift set is the perfect thing to give a friend or relative who likes to pamper themselves and who enjoys the finer things in life.  And the best part for you?  You don't have to spend an arm and a leg to buy it.  Just use our special discount that is only available through out site... all CandleFind visitors get 15% off any Pacifica order just by entering the phrase "candlefind" at checkout.

One more thing before we move on with the review...

Pacifica also has an Autumn candle gift set that includes 3 earthy fall fragrances...Tuscan Blood Orange, Mediterranean Fig and Madagascar Spice.  I didn't try that one, but Christina and I have burned the Tuscan Blood Orange before and we both REALLY loved it...we're both citrus fans.  (Click here for Carolyn's review of Tuscan Blood Orange).

Ok...back to our "Beloved Spice" Gift Sets...

Along with the Beloved Spice gift set, Pacifica also sent us a matching gift set of soaps to compliment the candles.  The soap set matches the candle set perfectly.  If you feel like the candle set isn't enough to give to someone, I would give the matching soap set as well because they look so pretty together.  Christina tried the soaps.  You can find her comments on them in this review.

What Do the Candles in the Gift Set Smell Like?

I burned my votives in my powder room and the scent throw was perfect.  I wish I could afford to put several candles in my great-room because even when the scent seems strong, it's not overpowering in the least and just incredibly smooth & relaxing.

Carolyn: Take our word for it... they're wonderful and make both of our noses so happy.  :-)  Christina and I LOVE candles from Pacifica. There's just something about them that speak "luxury" to us whenever we're burning their candles.  There is NOTHING fake to their fragrances, like you can smell in candles from some companies...just pure mezmorizing natural scent.

I agree with Christina on the light scent strength of the votives.  I'm burned them in my bathrooms as well and they were just perfect there.  I noticed though that Pacifica also offers this same Beloved Spice gift set with 5.5 oz glass container candles instead of the votives.  I HIGHLY recommend you order one of those instead if you decide to give this gift set to someone or get one for yourself.  I'm sure the scent strength would be stronger since the candles are larger.

Here are our thoughts on each scent in the gift set...
