The aura luscious candle is my go-to for tired evenings, and I want to explain what makes a sandalwood and vanilla blend so soothing, and why this one feels bolder than most.

Luscious: highly pleasing in taste or smell. A warm and exotic blend of tangerine, vanilla, sandalwood, musk and amber.
I am completely addicted to the Aura Luscious candle. I can’t be without it and I even take it with me when I travel. It’s such a grounding scent for me. I know I can count on this scent to help settle my nerves. It untangles my muscles until I’m a puddle on the couch.
I love sandalwood/vanilla blends. Aquiesse Sandalwood Vanille is comforting like being wrapped in a thick, warm blanket. It soothes me. Tocca Colette is a very sensual sandalwood/vanilla fragrance for a romantic evening. Aura Luscious, though, is the most bold sandalwood/vanilla blend. Aura Luscious grabs me like a big bear hug and let’s me know everything is ok.
Here’s what customers:
“Luscious is literally an addictive blend. The sandalwood, amber and tangerine elements come through like the perfect marriage. They are so relaxing and beautiful.” – D. Roberto-Kelley
“Luscious is one of my favorite Aura fragrances. It’s a sexy, sophisticated scent that’s warm and spicy.” – D. DeMarco
“Luscious has such a sweet & sexy depth.” – R. Kelley
“To me Luscious is my consistent go to candle.” – W. Wiltsey
One of the things I like about all Aura scented soy wax candles is that they burn so well – cleanly and easily. I trim the wick before I relight (as I do with all my candles) and that’s it. I never have to fuss, worry or mettle with them to keep them burning cleanly. They also burn evenly and completely with no wax residue on the glass. With a burn time of 70 hours and ultra hip/chic packaging, what more could you ask for?
Why the aura luscious candle comforts
Sandalwood is creamy and woody, vanilla is warm and round, and amber ties them together with a resin-like glow. Add a bit of tangerine and the blend gets a light lift so it never feels thick.
That is the recipe for comfort. Your shoulders drop without you noticing.
The word luscious sets the right expectation. The post opens with the dictionary definition, highly pleasing in taste or smell, and I think the candle lives up to it. It is warm, exotic and a bit spicy, with a pleasant sweetness that never gets sticky.
I recommend the aura luscious candle to anyone who wants a scent with some weight to it, since the blend is warm and rich.

Comparing sandalwood and vanilla blends
I love this family, and I have a few in rotation. Aquiesse Sandalwood Vanille is the blanket version, soft and soothing. Tocca Colette is more romantic and sensual.
Luscious sits at the bold end, the bear hug of the three. For something quieter, start with the Aquiesse, and for presence in a big room, start here.
Customers also have their say. Several describe it as addictive, sophisticated and a consistent go-to, which echoes my own habit. When a candle earns a place in someone’s regular rotation, you know it has more than novelty.
If you are shopping for a gift, a candle like this one is dependable. It suits both people who like sweet scents and those who prefer woods.
Compared with its sandalwood and vanilla cousins, the aura luscious candle is the one that fills a room quickly and holds the attention.
The softer ones are better in a bedroom, and this one is better in a living area.

Burning an Aura candle
The soy wax burns cleanly in my experience, and I follow the same routine with every candle: trim the wick before relighting and let it burn long enough to melt a full pool.
That small habit prevents tunneling and keeps the scent even. If you notice smoke or a tall flame, put the candle out, let it cool and trim again.
Because I carry mine when I travel, I store it with the lid on in a bag.
Sandalwood does a lot of quiet work. It smooths the sweetness of vanilla and the brightness of citrus, and it lingers as the candle burns down. Think of it as the cushion of the fragrance.
Because I take the aura luscious candle with me when I travel, I have learned how well it holds up in a strange room. It still smells like home after the first few minutes.

If you try it, tell me whether it feels like a hug to you too.
I will say again that the soy wax burns well, in my experience. Trim before each burn, keep the flame out of drafts and let it melt to the edge. Treated that way, an aura luscious candle gives hours of calm.
If you try the aura luscious candle, let it burn at least an hour on the first light so the wax melts evenly across the top. The scent will bloom as the room warms, and you can judge it properly then.
