Feelin’ too
hot-hot -hot! Ah well, at least I have Yankee Candles to help me get through
summer.
And this is
with apologies to people in other parts of the UK who I know have been craving
the pretty much endless summer we’ve been having in the south!
Anyway,
White Gardenia kicked off the burning week with its lovely sharp gardenia
notes. One of my very favourite Yankee florals.
There was
some light rain on Wednesday so Meadow Showers had an outing. Such a lovely
fresh mixed with green scent.
This was
followed also on Wednesday by Country Heather, which complements Meadow Showers
nicely. Country Heather is a fairly strong floral that indeed whisks you off to
heather clad windswept hills.
Wild Sea
Grass was next and I like this scent more and more. It is so authentic, a rich
grassy aroma bringing to you the atmosphere of sand dune grass.
Kilimanjaro
Stars I’m still getting to grips with, each time I pick up something different.
It definitely has that cool element found in Yankee’s Evening Air blended with
an assortment of other wonderful notes. When I get around to the large jar I am
sure it will be an even bigger treat.
Pink Sands
is always a comforting fragrance for summer evenings – it’s beautiful.
Midsummer’s
Night kicked off my weekend (along with some Judas Priest!)
Sun &
Sand brought a beachy feel to Saturday morning as the temperature began to
climb.
Fresh Cut
Roses followed with its elegant youthful rose feel and it was also wonderfully
cooling during the hot day.
Frankincense
is so wonderful and was an easy choice for Saturday night. In your imagination
you are transported to exotic foreign bazaars and it has such a rich and
incense-y type aroma.
Sparkling
Lemon gave a fizzy cooling citrus start to Sunday.
Beach
Holiday followed – this has a bit of everything Yankee Candle beach related
thrown in. You can pick out Turquoise Sky, Beach Walk, Ocean Blossom etc – it has
the lot!
And finally
Beach Wood brought the burning week to a close. The oily perfume richness of
Beach Wood this time was pretty strong. It has been variable in strength in the
past, but one thing that can’t be denied is the wonderful unique aroma of this
candle.
....And no sleep
after Beach Wood on what must have been the hottest most humid night of the
year, so not firing on all cylinders today. I will definitely need a
revitalising Yankee Candle scent when I get home today – my scent thinking cap
is on already!
