I am a mega candle geek! I love buying votives and burning them whenever I'm relaxing or working. I've tried most of the Yankee Candle votives and today I'll be showing you my Top 5!
1) Vanilla Cupcake
To be fair I love anything with vanilla in it. I left the votive out next to my study desk and I could always smell a hint of vanilla in the air regardless of if it was lit or not. The constant sweetness in the air made me concentrate a lot harder - maybe because it helped me relax.
2) Summer Scoop
In the store I thought the votive smelled of raspberries but when I lit it for the first time, it smelled more of strawberries. Nevertheless it's a summery feel-good scent which lingers long after it's been blown out. It makes me think of summer picnics with my friends or beach and ice-cream days.
3) Clean Cotton
This votive was just so fresh!! I actually lit it for the first time after coming back from my Duke of Edinburgh expedition. You have no idea how amazing it was to smell soapy freshness!! I have to admit it does smell like clothes fresh from the washing machine but I don't think that's a bad thing!
4) Fireside Treats
I actually got this in a small jar for my birthday and I love it. I use it a tiny bit at a time because it reminds me of Christmas!! Sweet marshmallows and campfires is what spring to mind when it's burning. It's also a lingering candle and I'm pretty sure I can smell it in the air two or three days after I blew it out!!
5) Cinnamon Stick
Another of my Christmas favourites!! You can't have any other scent around the festive season (apart from Mulled Wine mmmmm). It is a little overpowering if its left burning so if you were to use it I'd recommend a little a day. I do love cinnamon scent though!
And that's another T5T over!! There was a lot more candles I wanted to put into this post so I might do a Candle Empties post soon!! Stay tuned and I'll see you next time!
