First World Problem Averted! Asian Spice and Lavendar Are Back!

No, I'm not in any way associated with Pier One. But... I've primarily bought my candles there (when on sale, because I just can't, on principle, pay more than $10 for a 3 x 6 candle) for the past 10 years or so. During that time, my true loves for my home were, first and foremost, Asian Spice, and, more recently (past 5 years), Lavendar.

The (please, I know--First-World) "trouble" started during the past year when these two scents were suddenly not available, either online or in the store closest to me. I tried substitutions for the white Lavendar candle: citrus, unscented, linen, pineapple... NO. The white looks pretty, but I wanted that specific clean lavendar smell. Substitutions for the reddish: Cherry. Yuck. NO. I wanted the heavy spicy, musky smell, not something sweet.

For the past year, I've been hoarding my ONE Asian Spice candle (for what "special occasion"?). And I had no white candles left to burn, didn't want to order any more random citrus or linen or whatever. Instead, was just going through odds-n-ends, purple or black or from other sources, that didn't look or smell that good.

Was this my life now? Living in an apartment that didn't smell how I wanted it to smell?? (The young woman in the Pier One store closest to me hadn't even heard of "Asian Spice" when I asked for it unsuccessfully a couple of months ago! "But, but... it's famous!" I thought desperately.)

Today, though... THEY'RE BACK!! Yesssssss. I went online to Pier One and... Not only did they suddenly have my two favorite scents back, they were on sale. I ordered 6 Lavendar and 4 Asian Spice. And am now happily burning my one saved Asian Spice because I can --- it's not my last one any more! More are coming!! Ahhhhhhhh...

Asian Spice: "A fusion of clove and grassy vetiver, spiced with hints of patchouli, coriander and sweet musk..."

Lavendar: "The scent of this handpicked bouquet of lavender, geranium and chamomile blossoms is breathtaking..."
