Isn’t this
just the dullest time of year? All of the fun of the festive season is but a
distant memory and spring is still somewhere over the horizon. We can look forward to
holidays and dreams of summer, but we’re
stuck in the doldrums of January! But it isn’t particularly cold and… wait we’re falling into February.. spring maybe isn’t so far away after all! So
my Yankee Candle burns tend to be as all over the place as the weather and time
of year.
I started
the week with today’s featured Yankee Candle Blissful Autumn. As we move down
the jar of this the throw seems to be getting lighter. When you do get a hit of
its creamy vanilla covered fruit it is truly delicious.
A Sparkling
Cinnamon votive brought back a hint of the festive season past before moving on
to Kitchen Spice. This fragrance is unique in that it really does blend sweet
cooking spices into a unique aroma. It’s slightly tangy with just a touch of
sweetness and Kitchen Spice is quite a unique one in the Yankee Candle range.
On to the
luxury of Vanilla Satin. It just makes you feel a million dollars whenever you
are wrapped in its warm vanilla comfort. Recently reintroduced to the Yankee
Candle range, it is sure again to become a fan favourite.
Honeydew
Melon accompanied a rare burst of sunshine Saturday morning. It’s a pure, fresh
melon and perfect for early mornings.
Black Cherry
continues to delight. The unique almost sugared cherry flavour has an extra
tang to it, so it feels both warm and envigorating.
A treat on
Saturday night with a first burn for the new limited edition release, Under The
Palms. Definitely coconut flavoured but it is a more pure coconut than the
Black Coconut fragrance. The scent is of young, perhaps under ripe coconut
mixed with a sharp, bright fresh leaf tinge. Definitely looking forward to this
one in the summer!
Into Sunday
and the slightly sweet and sour deliciousness of Sicilian Lemon kicked off the
day.
For the
afternoon and early evening, the creamy yet zesty Vanilla Lime is always a
welcome choice. It both brightens and adds a feeling of sophistication to your
room.
And finally, to
finish off and to accompany me through the night and into the early hours with
the US Superbowl was Salted Caramel. A perfect scent of Americana!
