THE SMELL OF CHRISTMAS

Whenever I smell spiced apple, cinnamon or gingerbread it automatically makes me feel Christmasy. I love how candles, room sprays and diffusers have the power to create a festive atmosphere. I figured I'd let you know some of my favourite Christmas scents and some I wish to try.

Of course, my all time christmas scent is the smell of a nice big roast dinner, but if we are talking candles I love anything with the name "spiced apple" it reminds me of the Glade candles my Mum use to have around the house when I was a child. If you haven't smelt a Glade candle then you need to! They are seriously so cheap £2 or so but they smell delicious and Christmasy.

If your looking for something that feels a little more luxurious and smells amazing then The White Company Winter Signature Scent is gorgeous. I've brought the room spray, 4 candles and the oil in this scent just so my home smells like Christmas. They smell of Cinnamon, Clove and Orange and just like Christmas deliciousness in a jar.

I've been desperate to get my hands on one of the Diptyque Christmas candles, they look stunning and everyone raves about the smell of them. I also really want to try one from Jo Malone I think they are both at the higher end of candles but by how much people rave about the brands, they sound worth it.

Yankee Candles are more in the middle when it comes to price, they aren't quite as pricey as Jo Malone or Diptyque but they are pricier than Glade. However for £20 you can get a pretty large candle. I always find they smell amazing and Christmasy with scents like 'Christmas Eve' and 'Cherry on Snow' how could you resist? Also if your looking for a gift for someone they now let you personalize your candle with a photo, which is amazing! Who doesn't enjoy a personalized gift?

I really could just write a list of hundreds of candles that remind me of Christmas or that I want to try but I just wanted to share with you a handful of my favourite and most wanted scents.

What scent reminds you of Christmas and what is your favourite candle/fragrance brand? I'm always looking for new Christmas scents to try.

  2. I think I wanna try that, too. I would love to use those, but I doubt I could find them here. Fragrance oils would be a great idea for Christmas, for an extra Christmasy feel!

  5. I'm burning a Yankee Candle at the moment. It's called Christmas Cookie. I must say it amost smells to vanillery and not that Christmassy. But I still like it. I'm dying to have a Jo Malone candle. It's not easy getting hold of them here though.
    Have a great Sunday
