SUMMER CANDLE LUST LIST: CANDLES DIRECT

Hello everyone! So if you have read my posts for a while now or you know me personally, then you will already know what a candle addict i am. A couple of months ago i shared with you all my favourite spring time candles, which you can catch here if you missed it first time round. Now that we are moving into the more summer months, i have my eye on so many of the summer scents/limited edition candles on Candles Direct, which if you read my favourite places to shop online post you will know that it is the site where i get all of my Yankee Candles from. With that in mind for today's post i thought i would share with you my summer candle lust list.

1. yankee candle riviera escape large jar
First up is actually a candle that i recently purchased, which i just had to mention because this smells incredible. It was one of those purchases where you take the plunge without even smelling it first, which i was so unsure about but i am so glad i did now because i am obsessed. The scent is a mixture of like beach home-like scent with a slight floral undertone to it and it is the perfect fresh summer fragrance.

2. yankee candle summer scoop large jar candle
Next up on my lust list is actually a summer candle that has been a favourite of mine for so many years, as it is a classic summer line candle. There is literally no other way to describe this candle other than that is smells like a fruity flavoured ice-cream, which is perfect to burn when you are in the mood for something sweet.

3. yankee candle lake sunset large jar candle
Another candle that i have actually just re-purchased before typing up this post ha, as i had one last summer and i really enjoyed burning it from start to finish. The scent of this candle is simply beautiful and fresh smelling with the perfect mix of musk, this candle to me is perfect for burning on summer evenings.

4. yankee candle delicious guava large candle jar
I believe this specific candle scent is new in for the summer, which has me super intrigued to smell as i really love any tropical scent, even though i am not a complete fan of pure fruit scented candles, i would sooner they have that sweet dessert notes incorporated through-out. But that being said as it is more of a tropical scent, i have a feeling i will love it.

5. village candle summer slices large candle jar
I have mentioned in a post before that i am actually yet to try the Village Candle candles, but this summer they have a couple of scents available that have left me lusting after them. Village Candles packaging/fragrances are super similar to Yankee Candle yet a couple of ££ cheaper. Like i mentioned before with the delicious guava candle i am not a complete fruity fragrance fan (except for tropical) and watermelon couldn't be more summer.  

6. yankee candle pink sands large jar candle

There is a funny background story to this specific candle, a couple of years ago we had one in the house and it accidentally got smashed, so we ended up taking it out of the jar and burning it on a candle tray. Obviously because the candle wasn't in a jar, the scent filled the whole house with this beautiful warm vanilla-y, fresh beach scent for so long which now whenever i smell this candle it makes me think of summer at home.

7. village candle frozen margarita large jar candle

Another candle from the brand Village Candle and another scent that screams summer to me, this time in the form of a citrus-y scent of lime and lemons and the best part tequila. This candle just reminds me of a summer vacation in a jar, sitting in the sun sipping a cocktail or two. I actually mentioned this specific candle scent in a tropical trend for summer post last month.

8. yankee candle honey lavender gelato

Finally another candle by Yankee Candle but this time one available on the actual site, as it is one of the USA limited edition exclusive fragrances. There is just something about this candle that really makes me want to pick one up, i think it is as it would be super calming smelling with the notes of lavender but also it has a sweetness to it with the honey and vanilla of the gelato.
