A very important Catholic season is fast-approaching, and The Candle Club’s top-selling scent, Smells & Bells, from Michael Knowles, is back just in time for it.
Christians around the globe will recognize Lent beginning on February 18 to focus on spiritual reflection, prayer, and fasting. For hundreds of years, Christians around the world have observed a 40-day period where they slow down, reject some of life’s pleasures, and focus intensely on the things of God.
One of the most important aspects of Lent is getting into an environment that helps you contemplate your mortality.
While Knowles wants your soul to be prepared this Lent, he also wants your home to be ready. And that’s why The Candle Club is bringing back Knowles’ exclusive Lenten candle, Smells & Bells.
Smells & Bells — which is defined by the contemplative scents of frankincense and myrrh — is the most popular candle ever sold by The Candle Club, selling out each year. With Smells & Bells, Christians can surround themselves with the essence of a 12th century monastery as they meditate.
Wouldn’t it be more authentic to fill your home with contemplative scents that have accompanied prayer and fasting for hundreds of years, not something called “Ocean Breeze” produced by a name-brand candle giant?
Every Smells & Bells Candle is hand poured in the U.S. with all-natural, U.S.-grown, plant-based wax that contains no paraffin for a clean burn. All fragrances are free from phthalates, toxins, carcinogens, and mutagens, and adhere to IFRA standards for safety and purity. Plus, the natural cotton thread wicks are carefully crafted for a cleaner burn than synthetic wicks.
Along with its authentic frankincense and myrrh scent from traditional Catholic liturgy, Smells & Bells also offers a long-lasting burn throughout the Lenten season and quality honoring sacred tradition.
Don’t wait. Ash Wednesday is coming up fast, and Smells & Bells sells out faster than anything else from The Candle Club.
Be intentional about your spiritual reflection this Lent, and get the legendary Smells & Bells to fill your home and allow the sacred to engage all of your senses.
