Boheme - Phoenix Geparfumeerde Lucifers

The pink pepper note hits first when you strike one, then it settles into something warmer and woody. Forty matches per box is a nice amount for the price, and now I actually look forward to lighting my candles.

I didn't expect the matches themselves to smell this good—the violet comes through the second you strike one, before the candle's even lit. Forty in the box means I'm not rationing them, and the rosewood lingers just long enough to notice.

The pink pepper and rosewood scent is subtle but definitely there when you strike one, and it makes lighting my candles feel like a whole ritual now. Forty matches in the box means I'm not rationing them, which is good because I've been reaching for these even when I'm not lighting anything.
