There’s no place like home

ATLANTA, GA, April 3, 2007 – There’s truly no place like home.  And if home is lit with subtle, fragrant note pairings like Cardamom and Tonka Bean (Lounge), Jasmine and Green Bamboo (Conservatory), Mahogany and Oakwood (Library) the experience is even more welcoming.  Inspired by the notion of living well, Paddywax, an artisan candle company from Atlanta, GA, introduces Home Collection, which promises to lead candle lovers on a fragrant journey through a well-appointed home. 

Tending toward a sophisticated, décor-driven aesthetic (without forgoing fragrance, of course) the collection features four perfectly-sized pillars done in a range of classic neutral tones that complement any home interior from the urban suite to countryside getaway.  Cool black and charcoal tones will speak to the more modern dweller, while an inviting palette of taupes and browns will tempt the traditionalist.  Candle enthusiasts will note that Paddywax’s pillars have a clean, even burn, maintain their shape and offer an optimum fragrance throw.  When properly cared for, that is.      

Because candles are as much gifts as décor, Paddywax has once again made a statement with the over-sized poured glass candles in this collection.  An elegant, muted bronze glass delivers 100 hours of fragrant burn time.  Packaged in a demure hat box accented with an equally-demure grosgrain ribbon, the hand-poured candles make the absolute perfect treat.  Pillar pricing ranges from $18 to $40; glasses are $44.    

Home Collection’s six “rooms” gives candle lovers the opportunity to create their dream house, complete with a boudoir, lounge, cabana and conservatory.  Whether placed as a stunning home accessory or thoughtfully gifted, the modern style of the pillars and glass mixed with Paddywax’s signature unique fragrance blends showcases the character of a home, room by room.      

 Paddywax celebrated its tenth anniversary in 2006.  The line, which began with colorful layered candles in imaginative scents, has expanded to include seven unique collections. Gretchen Hollingsworth and David Duncan, the creative husband and wife team behind the artisan candle company, sight life’s joys – family, travel, food and now the restoration of their historic home – as

their biggest inspirations, which help to keep Paddywax fresh, fun and a leader in the industry. For additional information please contact Allison Beale at george public relations, 919.755.3625 or allison@georgepublicrelations.com.
