🕯Gentle - Strong Scent Throw🕯#partylite #woodlandpath #exotic #candles :) this is now an empty :( deserves to be showcased in it's full glory :) used it sparingly & once the 3 wicks self extinguished, I placed the quality #vintage decorative glass container on my glade hot plate warmer to enjoy the remaining scented wax...sad to see it gone :( definitely a repurchase! my #autumn wish list is to sample a mixture of fragrances the brand has to offer; great selection available @partyliteandrew with deals to take advantage of :) especially thrilled by the strength, mom was even smiling & she's not easily pleased! it is described as 'sun warmed woods & #amber are highlighted by glistening touches of green leaves & citrus for an open air experience' :) complex...I detect sweet, creamy, luxurious dark amber, beautiful smooth spice, autumnal #perfume that isn't overwhelming but rather comforting :) I would compare this to #bbw candles in style, quantity, size & burn time, together with a pretty lid! deep wax pool & clean burning product :) only downside is...the lights went out & I didn't want it to end! _______________________________________________________ #instablog #love #yankeecandle #yankeecandles

🕯Medium/Strong Scent Throw🕯 #yankeecandle #babypowder #yankeecandles #lush from #manutd supporter to beautiful #sunderlandafc fan #bradleylowery RIP #sunderland baby boy, the #apple of our Nations eye :) #redandwhitestripes :) _______________________________________________________ this could very well be a new favourite :) imagine coming out of the shower & sprinkling talc across the fresh kissed skin then getting a whiff of the powder...with a flawless burn the candle releases the exact sensation to a T, simply clean, soft, comforting & authentic :) most of us are familiar with the perfume which leads me to believe it's safe to consider a blind investment, of course you'd already have to love the smell of #talcum powder to enjoy this product! with notes of Powdery Almond, Floral Powdery, Musk & Coumarin I would agree the fragrance is delicate, basic & relaxed! but certainly doesn't disappoint in scenting a large area, remains a background aroma...mild intensity so no need to worry about suffocation :) described as 'a soothing, fresh scent that gently cleanses the spirit & gives it a soft touch of innocence' :) I adore the smell of babies...obviously after nappy change, thank goodness for #pampers :) fragrance will definitely be a repurchase time after time :) #pink #scarf _______________________________________________________ #instablog #love #candles #photooftheday #cancer (at Sunderland, Cumbria, United Kingdom)

🕯Soft - Medium Scent Throw🕯 #yankeecandle #vivahavana #yankeecandles #wax I'm a traveler so naturally I adore the essence of this #candle it evokes memories of my visits to Arabia & various cultured parts of the world...beautifully layered! relaxing in the right environment! smooth, woody, musky blend of incense & sweet vanilla :) nicely captured notes of Incense, Cinnamon, Clove, Ginger, Nutmeg, Amber, Oud & Sandalwood, it is described as 'a complex blend of sandalwood & spices, vanilla & nostalgia for old Havana' :) in the fresh category, I immediately detect incense with #sandalwood, amber, oud & vanilla coming through as the main scents...it's warm, sweet & has #cigar like qualities, smoky vibe; typically what #cuba is famously known for :) sweet tobacco combined with an undertone of fresh indistinguishable spices creating an unique, elaborate, masculine aroma! reminiscent of North Africa...#Moroccan & #Egyptian souks, bazaars & evening strolls along a lively promenade :) mature though not cloying, fills a fair size area, best in open spaces or cross ventilation rooms as occasionally intense but not harsh, clean but slow burning...with patience, an even wax pool :) fan of the brands #oudoasis #sandalwoodvanilla #goldensands then perhaps sample this version...sweet, creamy sandalwood oasis?! personally EU & UKs' best 2017 release, yet! #summer collection perfect for a barbecue :) enjoy! _______________________________________________________ #waxaddict #instablog #aromatherapy #lush #waxcommunity #homedecor #candlereviewer

🕯Medium Scent Throw🕯#yankeecandle #cherryblossom #floral #yc the Cherry Blossom is my favourite #tree with it's pretty pastel pink & white tinted flowers :) my street is lined with them & one stands proudly in the garden planted back in 2000 :) at a distance I don't detect an intense distinctive #fragrance from the blooms & nor does it have a cherry aroma as they generally don't produce the edible fruit :) the many varieties of the blossoms normally give off a bitter, sweet #perfume...less fruity, more floral & unlike the typical, as we know it cherry scent :) the #candle itself is not authentic but a complex, delicate, fresh & more fruit than it's predecessor, the diluted cherry makes this new version sweeter with a pretty floral blend that fills an average size area, not overpowering but rather a well balanced background aroma :) with notes of #Bergamot, #Cherry, #Rose, Cherry #Blossom, #Jasmine, Powdery #Musk & #Sandalwood, it is described as 'an enchanting armful of Spring's freshest blooms that turns any room pink & happy' :) extremely appealing #lush, not a heavy #flower fragrance but a perfect borderline floral & different to the brands older, retired Cherry Blossom #yankeecandles scent :)

🕯Mild - Medium Scent Throw🕯 #yankeecandle #cubanmojito #yankeecandles #wax on cold the fragrance is no doubt reminiscent of my favourite #mocktail the sweet, sparkling, zesty, citrus topped off with a sprig of mint...delicious #mojito :) been waiting a long while for the release of this refreshing drink in scented wax form from the brand & guess what?! #yankee has produced a #winner on all accounts :) gorgeous label, perfect colour wax, pretty pool & most importantly an authentic aroma! well in my opinion at least :) discussing the much awaited verdict...how does it perform?! in the words of tony the tiger "GRRREAT" with notes of lime, cool mint accord, vanilla & sugarcane I can confidently express I detect all ingredients mentioned, dominated by lime & brown sugar with less creaminess than #vanillalime an improved strength, cleaner burn, cooling element & more zing :) it's described as 'a chilled mix of mint & lime, as refreshing as a tall icy concoction on a tropical day' certainly on point! the mix is well blended, not sickly nor chemically but rather fresh, summery thirst quencher & guest friendly :) mild intensity, the perfume managed to fill an average size area :) with all the windows open & cross ventilation, the scent does escape a little but still very much present in the background :) #candlelamp amps it up for a stronger strength without overwhelming :) new UK & Europe release...may well show up in USA outlets :) definitely a repurchase & absolutely a recommendation! enjoy :) _______________________________________________________ #waxaddict #yankeecandlemania #photooftheday #waxcommunity #soapbar #candlereview #lush #summercooler #jewellery #bathbomb #pandora
