I love a good candle, especially one that smells strong and lasts a long time. So far in my search the closest I have came to happiness is with Yankee candles. So seeing there Christmas range out in asda I just has to pick up a few. At £1 each you really cant go wrong.
Inone of my posts i had shown what I like to use to burn my candles,
and I also use it for burning these wax votive candles. I take a
butter knife to scratch out the metal disk at the bottom of the
candle and then pull out the wick. I think this helps them last much
longer and also means you can pop the melted disks under radiators to
fragrance the house on chilli days - just remember to put them on a
plate.
So the fragrances I got this time were three
of the Christmas scents and also a three pack of basic home scents.
I'm useless for actually describing scents but when I goggled the
festive ones for an 'official' scent description I found it hard to
find them. Even to find them for sale was a little difficult as the
prices were much more expensive than what I paid.
The festive ones 'Christmas Baking' I can smell a
hint of cinnamon as for the rest merry berry is fruity with a cherry note and savour the
season I would say is also a baking smell but not as spicy. I told
you I wasn't very good, so next time your in any shop that sells them
please do give them a sniff, they really are divine.
As for the other three candles they are really
easy to describe as they are part of the core collection and really
smell like how you expect with there names: Raspberry Sunday, Sweet
Vanilla and Apple Crumble.
There is just so much selection from this brand it really is amazing. Amazon does so many diffrent scents all year round its hard to make sure my pennys stay in my pocket.
How do you like to scent your home? Or do you have
a favourite candle brand?
Much Love,
