Week 3: Favourite Winter Scent

Hola Dalimoos,

Sorry I am late with this week's post, work has been super busy and I have a sick little boy at the moment and I just haven't found the time to sit down and write this post until now!!!!

Anyway without further ado lets get on with what my favourite winter scent is...

When thinking about favourite scents, perfumes didn't actually come to mind.  I cannot wear very heavy scents as I am sensitive to smells so tend to have the same perfumes all year round...A perfume collection?  another blog post possibly?!

Anyway I digress...

However, there are a few scents that make me happy in winter:

My first one is the Cinnamon smell and other winter spices.  You cannot think of winter without thinking of these scents.  I love anything cinnamon, food or scents.  

I especially love burning candles with cinnamon spice scent.  

Home sweet Home by yankee candle is
one of my favourites

Airwick Purple Blackberry Fig scent is
a really nice warm/sweet smell

Recently I went to TK Maxx and bought two new candles both from the Sebnin range: 

1.  Christmas Trees.  This is a really spicy yummy scent.  it definitely has cinnamon and other spices, its a milder version of Home sweet Home and I cannot wait to burn this one. 

2.  Christmas Stocking.  This says it is a holly and berry smell.  it definitely is a outdoorsy smell and is musky with a sweetness to it...Since typing this my daughter smelt it and informed me she thought it smelt like snow...haha

 

Mint Chocolate is also a big favourite.  I went to Winter Wonderland the weekend just gone and had an After Eight crepe...O.M.G...it was so amazing and felt so warming especially as it was freezing.  The mint taste/smell is so comforting...

 

But my all time favourite winter smell has to be the smell of burning wood fire or coal fire, especially when you are outside walking on a crisp cold evening and you can smell the chimney smoke.  I live in London so I don't get to smell that smell often but when I visit family in Ireland or out of London then that is the smell I love the most.

There is nothing more winter than that.

I hope you enjoyed my take on the Favourite Scent week...until next week

Ciao for now xxx
