Wow!
Despite my initial misgivings related to the candle’s name, I am very happy to report that “5am” smells great at all hours of the day. This is the second candle I’ve purchased from Soeur Body and Candle and they are a convincing 2 for 2. I light this baby up whenever I need to lock in at my desk, settle down before bed, or otherwise boost my mood throughout the day. I can’t say that I love espresso in a vacuum (the drink or the Sabs track), but the scent is so tastefully paired with hints of vanilla and hazelnut that the final product is an aromatic delight (this is the first phrase that came up when I Googled “nasal equivalent to music to my ears”).
While this is a candle review and not a political thinkpiece, I would be remiss if not to at least mention the ongoing tension between the governments of my United States and the candle’s native Canada. I am by no means a political expert - the only real exposure I had to political science (if you even want to call it that) was the 2 mandatory economics classes I was forced to take in college, both of which I hated.
Anyway, all I know is that people much smarter than me are split on the effectiveness of tariffs. Some say they are nothing but harmful, while others say they can be downright terrific (or, if you’re a punny person like myself, “tariffic”). It will be interesting to track how the United States’ newfangled economic policies impact candles and other domestic… Sorry, I’m rambling.
The bottom line is that the candle is awesome.
