So this candle just had to be first as it was my favourite candle last Christmas/Winter time and it was a new candle to the Yankee Candle range also. This candle has a slight citrus-y scent with musky notes, which when burning it adds a really warm and cosy feel to your home.
I believe this is a new scent to this Christmas, if it isn't i haven't seen it until recently. When i was out shopping recently i gave this a smell and i fell in love, now it is definitely on my next to buy candle wishlist. The best way to describe how this smells is like a white chocolate hot chocolate from Starbucks with hints of spice nutmeg and sweet salted caramel, so the perfect balance of both sweet and spice.
Sticking with the sweet and spice mixed scents, this eBay find of a bath and body works candle is simply beautiful and smells deliciously sweet like Christmas. If you are from the UK then ordering from Bath and Body Works can be a long process, save shipping time and take a look on eBay. Cinnamon Caramel Swirl smells just as it suggests on the jar, the perfect sweet dessert scented candle with a hint of spice with the cinnamon.
This candle is quite similar to the All Is Bright scent and was a favourite of mine a couple of years back now, the way that they are similar is with the freshness that both scents have rather than your typical sweet Christmas scents. Even though it suggests it would be more of a "cooling" scent, it has the opposite effect and gives your room a warming ambience.
Just in case you haven't noticed before, Yankee Candle scents are some of my favourites as they do such a wide range and Snowflake Cookie has been one of those favourites for so many years now. I love sweet scents at Christmas and this one is literally one of the perfect ones, as it smells like fresh baking without too much of a vanilla scent as i know vanilla isn't a scent for everyone.
Sticking with the baking/cookie candle scent theme, another favourite for when i want something with those vanilla-ry notes and that is Christmas Cookie. You might think, aren't Snowflake Cookie and Christmas Cookie the same? The answer to that is no, because what makes them different is the fact that one has that strong vanilla undertone and the other doesn't. Talking of baking scented candles, another favourite this year is a Gingerbread one i picked up from Home Bargains, by the brand wickford & co i believe.
I actually mentioned this particular candle in a post a couple of months back now, which was a the best new-in beauty gift sets post and i mentioned in that post how perfect this particular candle would be for a gift for someone else or for yourself. I love the NEOM happiness candle but this Christmas Wish candle smells super cosy, as it has that Christmas warm spiced scent to it and the packaging is also beautiful.
Finally we have such a bargain candle that i am loving at the moment, as it not only smells like a forest full of real Christmas trees (which would be great to light if you have an artificial tree but want that Christmas tree scent) but it adds the perfect decorative touch to your room, with its gold glittery glass jar. This particular candle also comes in two other Christmas themed scents which are Black Fig and Rich Ginger, costing only £3.99 each.
