SCENTED CANDLE HEAVEN REVIEW

Wednesday, January 13, 2016

A new year and a bunch of amazing fresh new scents from Scented Candle Heaven. Lynne from Scented Candle Heaven sent me a fantastic selection of their Wax melts from their website and I couldn't be happier with the scents I received. From Fresh Fruity fragrances which you all know by now are my fav to clean linen relaxing fragrances which I cannot wait to melt in my burner. Ive already started melting a few of the grubbie squares and I'm so pleased with the quality of the scents so far!

All of the Scented Candle Grubby Squares are made with US grade oils and para / soy blend wax for maximum throw and quality, and you really can tell as these smell so nice and dont give me a headache like some wax melts have before. They aren't over powering yet the fragrances float around the house making every room smell gorgeous!

My favourite so far has to be the Fizzy Grape grubby. Its so fresh and yummy smelling, It fills the house with this strong but not over powering grape fragrance which I LOVE as grape is one of my all time favourite scents.It's just perfect with a slight fizzy kick to the fragrance.

My next favourite from the selection of Grubby squares is this super unique Lattice pie grubby called Banana Cream Pie. Its unlike anything I've ever seen before and it smells divine! The banana isn't too overpowering at all and its not sickly which I did think it perhaps would be being a creamy scent, But its perfect! I think this grubby would be a delight to burn in the kitchen on a fresh spring day or even a dull cold day as its such a homely warming fragrance.

Scented Candle heaven are a fab company with a huge following on Facebook, They have over 12,000 likes on their facebook page so be sure to go over and LIKE their page here to be the first to know about new fragrances and competitions!

Thank you again to Lynne for sending me such a nice selection of Grubbies and for her great customer service!

VILLAGE CANDLE SUMMER LIMITED EDITION CANDLES

Monday, May 25, 2015

Village Candle have always been my favourite jar candle manufacturers as they produce the most stunning fragrances and thanks to their 2 wick design they burn evenly without leaving an annoying tunnel of wax around the outside of the jar. I'd spotted the new Limited Edition Fragrances on their website a few weeks ago and was overjoyed when they arrived on my door step last week for review. I received 3 of the 11oz jar candles and these fragrances are only available in the 11oz and the 16oz sizes. I've burnt all three for a few hours each and they are amazing! I would even go as far as to say these new fragrances are my favourite to date as they are so refreshing and perfect for the summer months! Let me tell you more about them....

Sweet Nectar Limited Edition Premium Fragranced Candle Jar

''Nectar of sweet clove honey highlighted by the perfect floral bouquet of traditional rose, fragrant jasmine and golden honeysuckle with a touch of creamy vanilla.''

This Candle is so nice! I wasn't sure I would like it as much as the others as I prefer Fruity, Woody Scents but this one is a dream! Its not as floral as id imagined which I like as I'm not a huge fan of Floral Scents but its very sweet and a little 'cake' like, If that makes sense. The Honeysuckle really shows through the floral fragrance and Its a really nice candle to burn in the evenings as I've found it to be very relaxing due to it not being very overpowering.

Size: 11oz (701g)
Burn Time: Up to 55 hours

Beach House Limited Edition Premium Fragranced Candle Jar

''Awaken the senses with this sea inspired scent with notes of fresh waters, white flowers and warm woods''

I knew this one would be right up my street as its such a summer scent. It smells very fresh and inviting and is true to its name 'Beach house' as its the perfect summer beach fragrance. I'm sure this candle would bring back many happy memories of summer holidays for anyone who burns this fragrance. I've been speaking with the lovely Sophie from Village Candle and she stated that this candle was her favourite from the new limited edition collection.

Size: 11oz (701g)
Burn Time: Up to 55 hours

Pink Grapefruit Limited Edition Premium Fragranced Candle Jar

''Sparkling grapefruit and mandarin zest are blended with juicy peach and succulent mango in this sweet yet tangy blend.''

I love my fruity fragrances the most so when I took the lid of this one it smelt divine! I recently reviewed the Village Candle Grapefruit candle and I can honestly say this one smells much nicer and more like an actual freshly cut and squeezed Pink Grapefruit. Its a really juicy, mouth watering scent and it fills the room instantly once its burning. You can really smell the peach and mango notes bursting through the scent as it burns. This is the best candle for summer mornings burning in the kitchen whilst you enjoy a fruit tea :)

Size: 11oz (701g)
Burn Time: Up to 55 hours

The two wicks for me always ensure my Village Candles burn evenly and they haven't ever tunnelled down the jar as my previous Yankee Candles have done. They look so pretty on my mantles and fireplace and the photographs on the front of the jars always match the fragrance so well.

I have linked to the Village Candle website for you all to check out their full range of amazing fragrances but you cannot purchase from the website unless your a supplier. Sophie has advised me that if you want to find out where your nearest retailer is then please send an email with your postcode and quote 'Sophie Jenner Blog' to sales@villagecandle.co.uk and She will be sure to point you in the right direction :) I know that Cane & Able Cwmbran have now started to stock Village Candles. I do not receive commission on sales and I am not affiliated with Village Candle in anyway.
