Lene Nicole Candle Company
Every candle is crafted, poured, and packaged by hand in the smallest quantities to ensure the best craftsmanship possible.
My absolute favorite is Sex, Slow Jams and Wine but they are all incredibly good.
I am a candleholic. I l ove candles and I have bought many over the years. "Sex, slow jams, and wine", by Lene Nicole, is on the top of my list. Love how it lingers in the room. It is so sexy and otherworldly. Totally recommend it for candle-lovers like me.
