A two weeks-
in -one bonanza this time around as I’ve had to sneak in some burns that I can’t
tell you about yet…. but I will be able to reveal all tomorrow at midnight.
Yes, for those of us in the UK it is a Yankee Candle TSV (Today’s Special
Value) event on QVC on May 7th starting at midnight – and I’ll be
right here with a special blog review of the extra special Yankee Candle
release, while Rosa is launching the product on TV!
Back to the
present though and it has been a mixed bag of warm sunny weather, colder
weather and rain too – so a chance to really explore all worlds of springtime
Yankee Candle fragrances! Let’s begin..
White
Gardenia started my fortnight with its lovely crisp scent of gardenia blooms.
Perennial
favourite Vanilla Lime followed, with it unusual blend of sharp citrus and
vanilla creaminess.
Beach Wood
is delightful with its soft, aromatic, almost oily notes.
French Lavender
is a rich lavender scent which always relaxes.
Morrocan
Argan Oil will whisk you away to any exotic location your imagination cares to
conjure up. I just love its oily, rich notes.
Meadow
Showers is a warm, showery weather favourite. It is like stepping outdoors
after the rain in springtime.
Pink Sands
is another that jets you off to that holiday destination of your dreams. You
don’t need to travel though as its delicious creamy, fruity fresh notes come to
your home.
Lemon
Lavender is the perfect wake up candle and will always put a spring in your
step for a new day.
A first burn
of Wild Pansies was a treat. It is very strong and has an elegant perfume. This
one has been a surprise hit in our household.
Into week
two and Midnight Jasmine is just so gorgeous for any evening with its authentic
jasmine notes.
Grapevine
& Oak has that deliciously rich feel of a vineyard with a woodsy undertone.
This one takes me back into history in
my imagination, it feels almost Elizabethan.
Waikiki
Melon has a lovely warmed melon feel, like a fruit cocktail on a summer’s day.
Delish!
Black
Coconut gives a classy, perfumed, warmed coconut fragrance and is always a
delight.
New scent
for 2015 Aloe Water has become another favourite of mine to start the day with.
The lovely fresh feel of aloe with a delicate undertone of melon, it is really
lovely.
Camouflage
was a surprise as it was a lot softer than I imagined from its cold smell. A
soft grassy greenness slowly seeps across the room you burn it in.
Pink Lady
Slipper is always a unique treat. Such a delicate, sweet, slightly floral
perfume – there is not much similar to it in the Yankee Candle range.
Coastal
Waters is great for a rainy day with its sea salt tartness in amongst watery
notes.
A Child’s
Wish in a votive was my contribution to the ‘First Sunday Of The Month Burn’
hosted by Ann on our TEAM YANKEE Facebook group, where the theme was a green or
orange candle. Why not join us for next month?
Pink
Dragonfruit is great to pep up an evening. It gives a youthful fruity feel to
your surroundings.
And finally
a public holiday in the UK for Monday so the ultimate springiness of Loves Me
Loves Me Not was a great way to start the day.
Into the
afternoon and evening Turquoise Sky gave a bright blue feel as the weather
changed from sunshine to rain.
Phew – that’s
my catch up. Don’t forget I’ll see you on here tomorrow at midnight and all
through the 7th May for a special review of the latest Yankee Candle
TSV on QVC!
