I started
the week with a burn of a Macintosh votive. This pure, sweet apple scent has
been brought back to the UK
It was
lovely to experience Beach Wood once again in melt form. I have had problems
with little or no scent from my large jar but as usual the melt gives plenty of
Beach Wood’s unique woody, spicy tones.
The arrival
of October means only one thing – Halloween time! A first burn for the lovely
Witches Brew jar, although I have experienced the scent many times in votive
form. The perfect Halloween scent with its notes of Patchouli.
And we head
back into Indian Summer territory later in the week so it seems appropriate for
a burn of True Rose. It went down well when I featured it recently as a ‘Yankee Candle Of The Day’ so I was inspired myself to use the candle. Its beautiful
clean rosy smell is hard to beat and it is sure to add a touch of elegance to
your surroundings whatever the season.
First burn
on Friday night was Blue Satin Sashes which is part of the increasingly hard to
get hold of ‘My Favourite Things’ collection. Blue Satin Sashes has a bright
lemony feel about it and it may not be a million miles from the popular Lemon
Lavender fragrance. I can see using this more in the daytime to brighten up the
house in future.
After a very
busy day on Saturday, Black Coconut was the perfect wind down for the evening.
An unseasonably warm night, Black Coconut helped reinvigorate my tired bones
and it gives a wraparound feeling of absolute luxury.
Sunday was
also very warm and one of my all-time favourites Beach
And finally
as the night drew in on Sunday, we needed something to provide a warmer tone.
So it was a first burn for one of our Mandarin Cranberry jars. Not as
overpowering as it is in melt form (and that’s a good thing), its gentle
warming notes were perfect to complement the cooling evening while giving a
taste of the festive season just around the corner.
