So now that its almost fall... here is my spring/summer candle haul! My order came a few weeks before Tucker was born and I'm only just now had time to get a post up.
I haven't purchased many spring/summer candles in a long time so there were some new scents out that I hadn't seen yet.
These three here however are some old favorites.
Picnic in the Park smells fresh and a little bit sweet to me. I'm not sure it really makes me think of a park but its a nice, lite scent that I think is good for a bathroom or smaller bedroom as its not the strongest scent. Beach Flowers to me smells a bit like flower scented sunscreen. I really like this one in the bathroom. Its a nice summer scent that makes me want to go swimming. Moonlit Garden is my favorite of the three. It smells exactly how you would expect by the name. Its a musky kind of floral scent and I just love it.
These three were new scents for us this year. Beach Holiday again reminds me of sunscreen but it's not over powering at all. Very light scent that also smells a little bit fruity. Flowers in the Sun smells like honeydew melon. I do imagine it would warm up a bit when lit but I smell more fruit than flowers but it is a very nice scent. Honey Blossom is the strongest scent of the three but still light. It is a nice, warm, floral scent.
Early Sunrise smells like Pledge to me... It's very lemony and almost chemically smelling. We use Pledge but I'm not sure how I feel about a candle that smells like it. Not my favorite of this haul for sure. Juicy Watermelon smells like a watermelon flavored Jolly Rancher candy. I like the smell but its almost too sweet smelling. I would put this one in a larger room as the smell is very strong although I havent tried it lit yet. Morning Mist smells like a men's cologne but I really like it. It's not too strong and I'm a bit of a sucker for cologne.
Line Dried Cotton has virtually no smell unlit to me. Beau said he smelled a hint of rose but that was it. When its lit, I do smell some rose. Maybe rose water. It is faint but it did make the room smell nice and fresh. Meadow Showers smells to me like a typical summer candle. Almost a sweet grass smell. A bit generic but I do like it for a bathroom. Golden Sands's scent is very faint but reminds me of candy. It is a very sweet smell but a light sweet so not overpowering at all.
Pink Peony smells of... Pink Peonys! It reminds me of Fresh Cut Rose. Smells like you stuck your face in a bouquet of flowers. Very fresh and lovely. Peach Cobbler was one of my favorites because I LOVE any scent that is baked. Unlit it smells like seasoned peaches and lit it smells just like peach cobbler. It fills the whole room up and just smells wonderful!
These were just a few winter scents that were on 70% off or more clearance so I went ahead and got these 5. All three scents are ones I've used many times and talk about in my Holiday Haul post.
Everytime I place an order, I always check the clearance section. I'm always on the hunt for Illuma-Lids since I never seem to have enough for all the candles I have out and I like to change them out for the different seasons. They only had one easter one left when I placed my order but I thought it was too cute to pass up.
These Celtic Knot lids I thought were good for every day or maybe St. Patricks Day. I got, I think, 5 of them.
Pardon my disorganized office closet but these are my candle cabinets! As I've mentioned before, I'm a Yankee nut and I'm also cheap! I don't like paying full price for anything so I stock up on candles (and everything else) when I can get them super cheap rather than buying them at full price one at a time. Our current house has huge closets so we just put them up in the guest room/office closet.
I prefer these cabinets to open shelves because I can close the doors to keep dust and this little stinker out of them! She is a big fan of candles as well and loves to pop the lids off and smell them and since she has now learned to open doors, I've have had to put some child proof locks on the cabinets!
I keep Fall/Winter candles in one cabinet and the Spring/Summer ones in the second. This is the Fall/Winter cabinet! By the way, this wick trimmer is so worth the investment. I was constantly trying to trim mine with scissors and would often trim them too short and this little guy keeps that from being an issue!
I have fewer Fall/Winter candles than I do Spring/Summer so I use the extra space here to store random things like my center piece holder and extra lids.
And here is the Spring/Summer cabinet!
I have been asked several times before what my favorite Yankee scent is and it is White Linen & Lace by the Simply Home Yankee line. LOVE LOVE LOVE this candle. I have two left and rarely burn them because I've only been able to find them at Marshall's or Ross and I always bought all that they had. The closest thing I can think of that this smells like is the Moonlight Path scent that Bath & Bodyworks use to carry and I just love it. Not sure why, but there you go!
