I started the week off with a melt of Dune Grass – a new one for me and although it’s similar to other grassy fragrances like Garden Hideaway and Loves Me Loves Me Not, there is a real zestiness and complexity in there that those others don’t have.
Followed this up with a burn of Loves Me Loves Me Not which
is perfect for any spring or summer day. It’s refreshing and adds that carefree
lazy feeling wherever you use it. First time ever using an illuma lid too.
While they do look nice it is the anti-tunneling aspect that really appeals.
And this one worked wonders on my Loves Me Loves Me Not!
Bahama Breeze is always a favourite. One of those pure
indulgence fragrances that gives a touch of luxury. With Bahama Breeze it is thoughts
of an exotic holiday location that comes to mind. Love it.
A friend picked up a bargain Fireside Treats and for the
first time ever, I burned a candle on the same day I received it! This one may
take a little getting used to for some and it’s one of those mood enhancer
candles (in other words not overwhelmingly strong). However Fireside Treats
definitely gives out the sweet smell of roasting marshmallows and it is quite
delightful.
Black Coconut was our candle of choice for Saturday night. Even
though the weather had turned balmy, it suited the mood. Another exotic luxury
fragrance like Bahama Breeze it again calls to mind being in faraway places. I’m
never going to forget how it brought the movie ‘Casablanca’ vividly to life. I felt
like I was in Rick’s I tell you!
My melt (of a sampler) of Star Fruit And Orange woke me up on
Sunday like a nice glass of refreshing orange juice and I followed this in the
afternoon with a long burn of Beach Flowers. It is always a winner for summer
days and its powdery notes never get tiring.
And finally Fresh Cut Roses closed the weekend. What
surprises me with Fresh Cut Roses is that it is not as bold as you might
expect. It smells really strong inside the jar and if it was that potent on
burning it would probably be too much. Instead Fresh Cut Roses brings the
delicate scent of Roses into your room to give you the feeling that you are
standing right in the middle of a big rose garden.
