Bank Holiday
Monday in the UK kicked off with River Valley. This one I’ve liked more and
more over time. It brings to mind stepping outside into a fresh rain shower. A
beautiful and atmospheric scent.
I followed
this with Mountain Lodge and a bit of James Bond! My usual preferred
accompaniment to Bond is First Down, but I went with Mountain Lodge this time
as it is quite similar. Atmospheric and luxurious it smells like a million
dollar hotel should!
To wrap up
the last day of a holiday weekend, the lovely Stars & Stripes. This fresh,
invigorating sweet cinnamon scent is very comforting.
Back to the
working week and a melt of Apple Cider warmed things up a little bit. I like my
Yankee Candle apple fragrances to have a bit of something about them and Apple
Cider is one of those with a lovely, warming feel about it.
Lovely Wild
Passion Fruit was next. I always smell something different in this every time I
use it. A favourite in our house.
A Thursday
night treat was Midnight Oasis. This one can get lost in a busy environment as
it is quite light, so it needs to burn somewhere that it can create its exotic,
rich atmosphere.
A touch of
class for Friday night with the ever elegant True Rose. If you want ‘chic’ in a
candle fragrance – this is it!
Turquoise
Sky started the day on Saturday with its lovely refreshing notes.
Waikiki
Melon followed, another exotic fruit favourite.
A burst of a
Drift Away melt in the afternoon, was followed by Amber Moon in the evening. My
first burn of this new fragrance it doesn’t seem to have much about it on cold
smell. But light the candle – and wow, it is a lovely fantasy blend of exotic
perfumes and the amber content is noticeable. Very nice.
Sicilian
Lemon, another of the lighter scents kicked off Sunday and it took a couple of
hours to make itself felt. When it does permeate the room though, it is a
bitter lemony bliss!
Paradise
Spice followed in the late afternoon with its lovely, spicy banana aroma.
And on
Sunday evening it was time for escapist perfection with the ever dreamy Pink
Sands (and a rare glimpse at the discontinued image - better than its replacement in my opinion!)

Stephanie!
