As regular
readers know, my Yankee Candle burning habits are determined by the weather and
the seasons and this past week presented a real mixed bag. Rain petering out
leading into a warm and stuffy weekend, but of course the nights are starting
to draw in. So lots of choice and lots of pleasure with my Yankee Candles!
Starting the
week with a bit of luxury, it was time for a final melt of Sage and Citrus.
Absolutely love this creamy yet bright fragrance and so pleased I managed to
find a large jar. Bring it back please Yankee Candle!
My favoured
votive of the week also has a luxurious touch about it in Mountain Lodge.
Another creamy fragrance with a light perfume which evokes thoughts of a luxury
hotel in the middle of a forest or mountain range. It is another hard to find
but divine fragrance.
Spiced
Orange is a bit of a throwback fragrance so it worked really well with a home
cinema watch of the lavish Les Miserables film.
First large
jar of the week was a slow burn of Fireside Treats. This fragrance straddles
the seasons beautifully with its sweet marshmallowy scent underpinned by a hint
of smokiness. It’s a lovely one and the highlight of the Yankee Candle summer
release for me.
Fresh Cut
Roses brought its lovely touch to a warmer afternoon. The roses in my garden
are still blooming and this candle brings back memories of our glorious summer.
Turquoise
Sky took me into Friday evening. It is unique among the watery type Yankee
Candle fragrances having that splash of zest about it. It looks and smells
lovely and suited a warmer evening. It reminded me of strolling along a warm Mediterranean
seafront at night.
A melt of
Early Sunrise started the weekend mornings and then into French Lavender which again
is a scent that happily bridges the seasons with its rich Lavender flavour. It
is delicious and the strong fragrance lingered on my conservatory well into the
evening.
Finally,
wrapping up the weekend with a real touch of class was the warming sweet tones
of Red Velvet. One to always bring a smile and lift the spirits while enveloping
you with its deep vanilla and chocolaty scent.
