Autumn is
beginning to win the battle of the seasons even though it is still quite warm
and dry. You can’t stop the nights drawing in!
I felt like
a bit of a head cold was coming at the start of the week but the soothing notes of French Lavender soon eased any
symptoms. This was burning when I got home, my wife didn’t realise it has been
retired now for about a year. I thought her burns of it were a bit cavalier!
Salted
Caramel was next and I’m still finishing the remnants of a broken jar. Such a
delightful, sweet yet strong autumnal scent.
Red
Raspberry is uncomplicated, sweet raspberries – and sometimes that just hits
the spot.
I really
enjoyed one of my very favourites Evening Air this time around. Its delicious
fresh aftershave-like blend is invigorating.
Farmer’s
Market kicked off the weekend and this delicious medley of ripened fruit and
light spices is perfect for October.
Aloe Water
burned throughout the day on Saturday and it is a truly delightful fragrance.
Apple Cider
got a debut burn on Saturday evening and its warm, sweet apple notes are
lovely. This is more like a warm, sugary rich apple drink than cider but it is great
for the time of year.
The lovely
mixed fruit burst of Citrus Tango started Sunday. Not quite as sharp as you’d
imagine and lovely and fruity sweet.
Finally to
cosy up to on a cooler night, Spiced Orange got its first burn for a long time.
It reminds me of a rich thick cut marmalade – a lovely homely fragrance.
…And just a few
days now until the YANKEE-WEEN party at my house. Some great Yankee friends old
and new are coming from TEAM YANKEE plus of course QVC Yankee stars Rosa Speyer
and Steven Corfield. I hope it is a day to remember for everyone (for all the
right reasons!). We’ve got nibbles, drinks, games and lots of spooky stuff
planned. Really excited and it’ll be nice to share my obsession of Yankee
Candles (and Halloween) with others for a few hours.
