I’m back with a candles post and this time it’s for Spring! I’ve written two posts about candles, one being my favourite Autumnal candles and the other features my favourite Christmas candles and another about my favourite Autumnal candles. These are two of my most popular posts so I thought it was only right that I shared the candles I’m loving this spring! I have to say, I’ve been much less of a candle hoard lately, I’ve been getting through my stash and actually using them (wow). What candles do you like to light during Spring? What are your favourite scents for this time of year? I definitely enjoy fresh and fruity scents when the sun starts to come out.
As you can see, I have quite the colourful bunch of scented goodies to share with you. I think the packaging for candles is definitely one of the main things that makes me actually make the purchase.
I purchased this candle from my favourite homeware place on earth – Homesense (I’ve written a post entirely dedicated to this, click here for that). Pecksniffs is one of my favourite fragrance companies. My mum and I used to regularly stay at a hotel in Plymouth and all of the bathroom products were by Pecksniffs and we absolutely loved them. We used to take all of the products home and continue the pampering for weeks after! As soon as I discovered that Homesense stocked their products I was straight in there buying them all. This candle has the most fruity and tropical fragrance and I LOVE it. As soon as I sniffed it, I put it straight in my basket, it smells like a fruit salad and I think it’s perfect for the warmer weather (when it actually decides to arrive)
My boyfriend purchased this from Wilko (I didn’t know they stocked branded candles?!) and he particularly loves citrus and orange scented products so I thought this would mainly be for him however I have really started to enjoy these scents for Spring. I’d never heard of this company before but I did some research and I’m loving their scents and the packaging of their products!
If you read my Valentine’s Day post you’ll know that I received this as part of a gift set. I love how fresh this scent is and I think it’s perfect for Spring. Apparently it’s the fragrance of the month according to Yankee Candle (it’s also on sale right now by the way). I never used to buy floral scented candles but for some reason I’m all about them right now!
DW Home are my favourite company by far when it comes to fragranced goods. I pretty much buy all of their candles every season! I love the variety of scents that they offer and the packaging is always colourful and pretty. I really recommend checking these guys out! This candle smells FAB and I reckon I’ll be repurchasing this for Summer too. It smells kind of exotic too, it reminds me of being on holiday! I can’t wait to light this in the evenings when the sun starts to show itself.
I love the smell of this candle! It’s very fresh and fruity (noticing a theme here?) and it’s so reasonably priced that it was rude to walk away from. I love the colour too, it adds a pop of green to my room which is much needed now that Winter is starting to budge slightly. Again, I bought this from Homesense so I can’t provide a link to the products itself but it’s fairly easy to get hold of in store!
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! I enjoy writing these, probably because I will use any excuse to go and buy candles, let alone when a new season rolls in. Let me know if there’s any scents you’re particularly loving to fill your home with at the moment!
