January
rolls on and still without a candle theme in our house. Too early for spring,
too late for festive – what to burn?!
Black Cherry
to me is a real winter warmer and we started the week off with its lovely rich
notes.
Blissful
Autumn is another safe bet even though it is not (autumn, that is). Its soft
blend of fruits touched off with a creamy finish make it a pleasure to burn
throughout winter.
Home Sweet
Home is just that! Warming, sweet cinnamon and a timeless Yankee Candle
classic.
Sage &
Citrus is always a luxurious treat. It doesn’t smell how you’d imagine being
more like a high end aftershave.
On Saturday
morning, I treated myself to a slow burn of Sicilian Lemon. A softer scent but
when you do get a hit from it, there aren’t many better. It is like drifting
off to wild lemon groves in Spain or Italy – it definitely has that exotic Mediterranean
feel to it.
First ever
burn of the brand new Frankincense scent on Saturday night. I reviewed this in
an earlier video blog post. If in any doubt, it has a lovely but not
overpowering incense type aroma.
Camomile Tea is always a lovely, gentle way to wake up on Sunday morning with its delicious honey tea notes.
Island Guava
is an unusual scent and I enjoyed a melt of it. It is very much like the guava
version of Wild Fig.
To finish
off the week, Cranberry Pear, one of the limited release fragrances from the
end of last year. Last time it was all sweet cranberry, but on this burn it was
all about the pear. Scrummy and juicy and very nice indeed.
