Yankee Candle 'Holiday Magic' Votive Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

The other week I bought three more of the Simply Home Yankee Candles from Asda, I'm still not really sure what the difference is between the original Yankee Candles and the Simply Home range is to be honest, they seem to be a bit cheaper in price which is always good and have a different range of gorgeous scent's to choose from and they seem to burn just as well so the mind boggles he he. Anyway since the festive season is now well and truly upon us I thought it would be the perfect time to review the  favourite scent out of the three I picked up named 'Holday Magic'.

Holiday Magic (£1.00) is described as 'a wonderful mix of bayberry, clove, cinnamon and balsam fir, you'll be lighting it up on those winter nights for a scent of  Christmas magic' and that is pretty much on point to be honest. Holiday Magic really is every christmasy scent rolled into one candle, it's mildly spicy, a touch sweet and fruity and theres also a Christmas tree scent to it to which comes from the balsam fir notes, it certainly is a Christmas scent mash up but oddly as it burns the scents don't mix together, at some points you get the warm spiciness then the freshness of the Christmas tree come through, its divine. The scent throw is medium, it's definitely not overpowering but fills the house with it's gorgeous festive scent very quickly and really lingers when blown out. I think this is the perfect candle to burn on Christmas Day because its just so festive and smells of a traditional Christmas if that makes sense.

All the Yankee Candle votive/samplers claim to provide up to 15 hours of fragrance and Holiday Magic certainly lasts really well, I think because the scent really lingers and fills the entire house you don't have to keep it alight for so long so you can certainly get a good few uses out of it that's for sure.

Yankee Candle 'Christmas Treats' Votive Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

Quite a while back I bought a selection of Simply Home Yankee Candles from Asda, I'm not really sure what the difference is between the original Yankee Candles and the Simply Home range is to be honest, they seem to be a bit cheaper in price which is always good and have a different range of gorgeous scent's to choose from and they seem to burn just as well so the mind boggles he he. Anyway since the festive season is now upon us I thought it would be the perfect time to review my favourite candle at the moment 'Christmas Treats', I've actually been burning the large jar of this and have recently finished it but I stocked up on few votive's too because I love it that much he he.

Christmas Treats (£1.00) is described as 'everybodys favourite, irresistible buttery rich vanilla cookies topped with sweet sugar sprinkles' and that is pretty much on point to be honest. To me Christmas Treats smells just like a combination of sweet white chocolate, vanilla frosting and shortbread, and it takes all my strength not to eat it! If your a fan of Yankee Candles original Christmas Cookie scent then you'll love Christmas Treats because they basically smell identical, the sweetness and vanilla really comes through but you also get a bakery scent come through too as if you where actually baking sugar cookies, it's absolutely delicious! The scent throw is medium, it's definitely not overpowering but fills the house with it's gorgeous scent very quickly and really lingers when blown out, I personally don't find Christmas Treats sickly what so ever but I am a huge fan of the sweet, sugary scents.

All the Yankee Candle votive/samplers claim to provide up to 15 hours of fragrance and Christmas Treats certainly always lasts me really well, I think because the scent really lingers and fills the entire house you don't have to keep it alight for so long so you can certainly get a good few uses out of it that's for sure.

Yankee Candle Simply Home 'Merry Berry' Review ♥

Hey beaut's!

A little while back I bought a selection of Simply Home Yankee Candles from Asda, I'm not really sure what the difference is between the original Yankee Candles and the Simply Home range is, they seem to be a bit cheaper which is always good and have a different range of gorgeous scent's which now include some festive/Christmas scents so of course I just had to buy a few.

The first festive 'simply home' votive I set my eyes on was Merry Berry , I'm a huge lover of berry scents and the fact this has a festive twang got me super excited so I just had to have it. As the name would suggest Merry Berry smells quite strongly of winter berries mixed with some spice which really adds a subtle touch of warmth which I love in candles at this time of year. The scent throw of Merry Berry is quite strong and fills my house quite rapidly, even though it is quite a strong scent I don't find it overpowering at all it's just very noticeable and very festive.

All of the Yankee Candle votive/samplers claim to provides up to 15 hours of fragrance, I find that Merry Berry is the type of candle you could burn for an hour or so then you could easily blow it out and be left with the scent lingering for hours which is so nice and means you get lots of uses out of it which is always a bonus. Overall Merry Berry is an absolute hit with me and I would highly recommend it if you love the smell of winter berries and spice.
