Halloween
week plus a week off work meant lots of fun Yankee Candle burning!
Started the
week with the delicious fragrance of Apple Cider, its sweet yet slightly tart
notes blending well with the evenings drawing in.
Early
Sunrise was lovely as ever first thing in the morning. Having tried many
different early morning candles in the Yankee Candle range, Early Sunrise is by
far my favourite. Its clean lemoniness is bright, yet gentle enough to welcome
you into any day.
My James
Bond film candle of choice is always First Down. Its beautiful, subtle,
polished leather smell brings a touch of class to your room.
Then it was
a Halloween frenzy with Yankee Candles accompanying us through the 31st
October along with a bevy of Horror films. Candy Corn was as delicious as ever
to open proceedings but it was Salted Caramel that was a big hit on our
Halloween. Its rich, strong flavour is perfect for any autumn celebration. You
can picture yourself at a carnival or outdoors gathering on an autumn night
breathing in the scents of freshly warmed sweet treats.
Witches Brew
is always a must, particularly when Michael Myers is around…
..And Happy
Halloween is lovely. It has that sweet yet tangy aroma of aniseed but it is
never overpowering. Sure to be a favourite in our household for years to come.
You can
definitely feel the pull of the darker evenings penetrating now that the clocks
have wound back and a treat of Macintosh Spice was the first dip into our
Christmas cupboard. A spicy, apple tinged taster of what’s to come..
Our
Sandalwood Vanilla large jar seems to be losing its punch slightly. After a
bright first few uses, I can’t seem to get much scent from the jar at the
moment. It was at its strongest just as I blew it out and I then caught that
lovely woody mixed with vanilla fragrance. Anyone else experienced scentless
patches in their candles?
Lemon
Lavender freshened up the whole house on Sunday morning after a late night out
on Saturday (that’s us – not the candle!)
…and
bringing the week to a close was the absolutely scrumptious Farmer’s Market. A
heavenly blend of rich fruits all gathered in from the harvest – delectable!
