Two weeks
have gone split by a holiday so lots to talk about and some new photos over a
two part blog for this week.
Winding the
clock back to before it got really hot here in the UK, the first glimpse of
sunshine was an excuse to give BEACH GARDEN from the Beachside Limited Edition
set another burn. Still not come across another scent like this in the Yankee
range with its wild berry notes giving the impression of a fruit garden on the
coastline. It’s lovely.
I managed to
get hold of some LAVENDER VANILLA melts recently and this fragrance is to die
for! Shame it is no longer around. The blend of the floral lavender with vanilla
is a triumph.
Onto another
warm evening and VANILLA LIME always brings a creamy zest and a cooling
feeling. Even on the hottest nights, VANILLA LIME will chill you out!
STAR FRUIT
AND ORANGE as a votive is fairly weak although the exotic orange citrus is
there. It is a lovely smell and watch for my forthcoming piece on how you can
get more from a weak votive.
The lovely
MELON AND LIME COOL POPS has been used a couple of times in the searing heat of
my conservatory. Its melting ice cream scent with fruity notes will definitely
always remind me of this summer.
MIDSUMMER’S
NIGHT I like more and more each time I burn it. It must be in my top 5 Yankee
fragrances now and I could never be without it. It is so unique and mysterious
and absolutely goes with any warm summer’s evening. MIDSUMMER’S NIGHT whisks
you away to a luxurious night time retreat with its heady perfumed scent. As
Steven Corfield says it’s the Milk Tray advert from the 1970s but perhaps also
Martini and Cinzano too!
And finally
TURQUOISE SKY I used for a first burn and its lovely fresh scent brings to mind
a summery day at the beach. The cool blue water under a clear sky can be yours
if you close your eyes and soak its lovely ambience in.
More to come
in Part Two!
