I am thrilled to announce the launch of our new aromatic candle line!

I have always been been captivated by fragrances that enhance a mood and conjure up images of far away places so when I dreamed of creating our own fragrance line I first took places of inspiration and paired them with notes that reflected their essence and embarked upon the process of fragrance blending utilizing my favorite essential oils and notes—-it was an amazing journey and we are so pleased with our finished creations. Hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Our three new sumptuous soy-blend candles take their monikers after their places of inspiration…. Marrakech is full bodied fruit with luscious pomegranate, red currant and a splash of blood orange, Capri is infused with soft white flowers, hyacinth and ylang ylang, and Ibiza is a clean, Zen scent with notes of jasmine and neroli.

Robindira Unsworth Bougie Aromatique is now available online at the Robindira Unsworth Web Boutique, at our Atelier in Sonoma County, and at a growing list of select retailers throughout the United States.

We’ve just returned from a leisurely week roaming the beaches in Mexico’s Yucatan Penninsula (near Tulum) where we went in search of a little respite and rustic beauty.

Robbie and I wandered through the nearby Mayan ruins in Tulum, climbed the pyramid of Coba, and searched for shells and bits of coral that had washed up on the soft sandy beaches to arrange as our dinner centerpiece every night. We cooked simple feasts and swam in the crystal clear waters (the temperature of your most soothing bath) and lounged in our palm tree shaded hammocks reading volume after volume….such a wonderful simple indulgence to not have to put down your book!

We waited for the arrival of the sea turtles, who are currently laying their eggs along the shores of where we were staying but we must have just missed them. We witnessed their magic a couple of years ago on another Tulum adventure and what an extraordinary sight it was…..it will keep us returning to this spot for many years to come.

I brought back a handful of beach treasures that I am currently playing with for inspiration……they may make an appearance in my Spring 2011 collection… so stay tuned!
