Hello Lovelies!
A bit of a different post today! I thought it was about time I talked about my obsession with candles! Specifically yankee candles, because I find that they have the best smell pay off - with a lot of cheaper candles not smelling like anything at all!
My latest purchase was the Strawberry Buttercream large 2 wick tumbler. Normally this would be £19.15 but I got it for £13.50 in a sale! Which if you know yankee candles that's a steal for a candle that size.
I love this one, and having gone through, two large Fluffy Towels, a large Pink Sands, a large Beach flowers and a medium pink dragonfruit (all housewarmer jars) it's safe to say that I get my good use out of these candles. And this isn't usually a type of fragrance I would personally go for. When it comes to candles I'm big on fresh smells and just making my bedroom smell beautiful and clean. But, I was completely drawn to this sweet creamy smell.
I've burned about halfway already, which is quite good for me as I've had it for about 3 weeks and I burn it a lot. I love the feeling this gives me. It's so rich and yummy smelling and it completely relaxes me. And like most candles, the smell is definitely slightly more subtle while it's burning, which with this particular smell I find is a good thing. I think it would get a little bit sickly if it was any stronger. Which is why I have never previously bought any vanilla scents as I find them too strong.
Are you a lover of candles? any favourite scents?

I LOVE Yankee Candles, I plan on doing a trip soon and buy the pot versions. I first found a store that sells a lot of yankee candles here in the Hague and I was soo happy I bought alot of the little ones and I now want to buy the bigger ones too. I haven't smelled the Strawberry Buttercream, because I too love fresh and clean more than sweet. But now I am curious as how it actually smells! :) Ixx
ReplyDeleteI love them so much! there's a few places near me that you can get them, but I found that one of them does a sort of loyalty card thing so eventually you get money to put towards a candle. Which is quite good! I've got another candle in my cupboard waiting to be used once this one is done, so I might do another post on that when I'm using it! :)

It looks so pretty! Not sure if I would like it though as I tend to go for fruity or clean scents! Vanilla-y ones are a bit sweet for me! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm like that too normally but I still liked this one, not sure if it's the strawberry? I like it anyways haha! xx
