Blissful
Autumn started the week and after a poor showing on the previous burn, this
time its full, lovely, creamy fruit aroma was all over the room. Do you think
sometimes burns just don’t go well or that there are dry patches in your candle
with little scent?!
Spiced
Orange followed and we still need these winter warmers for the chilly nights.
This deep scented rich orange is delightful.
New scent
Red Raspberry was next and as pleasant as it is, I don’t think it is ever going
to be a favourite. It’s a straight ahead, slightly tart Raspberry aroma. I
wonder if we’d appreciate it more in warmer weather?
Finished a
medium jar! I think that is the last of Mandarin Cranberry for this winter.
Fortunately (or scarily, whichever way you look at it) we have more Mandarin
Cranberry stashed away so it will be back in my diary for the autumn!
Black Cherry
started the weekend, another (for me) warming, wintery fruit scent.
Lots of
Island Guava melting going on over the weekend. It is a very pleasant scent
that gives a tease at the warmer days around the corner.
My first
ever burn of Moroccan Argan Oil on Saturday night. Wow – this is right up my
street. It is rich, mysterious and transports you off to fantasy land in your
head. Not the strongest scent, but it is a room changer. By that I mean you
won’t be overpowered by the scent while you are in the same room but as you
leave and return to the room, you’ll pick up the exotic atmosphere that
Moroccan Argan Oil creates. I really love this one! Definitely went along with
one of my favourite movies…
Then it was
into the early hours with a Witches Brew votive. A must to go along with any
horror film!
Early
Sunrise kicked things off on Sunday while we had a little sunshine with its
fresh, lemony morning feel.
The sunshine
didn’t last long. The clouds rolled in and the heavens opened, so time for a
‘watery’ big gun candle! By that I mean one of the rarer atmospheric Yankee
Candles that goes along with a rainy day. This time around it was Mountain
Lake. A lovely, strong, watery aftershave type fragrance with a brooding dark
grey wax colour.
And finally
to wrap up the week. Nothing makes you appreciate the comfort of home like the
cosetting vanilla fragrances from Yankee Candle. The deliciously strong Vanilla
Cupcake is always welcome.
