Not my cats, they'd never allow me to take a pic of them doing this! NEVER!!!! |
One big thing that did happen, at least in New England, during my little blogging break was this: Indian Summer flipped away into Full Blown Fall! The colder weather is the weather for me! I actually tend to prefer winter, but that's not the point. As I was walking home from the train last night, I couldn't help but think, "This is all out cuddle weather!!"
Nothing says cuddle weather more to me than CANDLES! Actually it's equal with a cuddle partner and hot cocoa! (All three TOTALLY necessary!) For Fall/Winter scents - in general - if it smells like it comes piping hot in a glass, mug, or pipe (but NOT the swirly colored kind you find in a Head Shop)...I'm sold! Oh yeah...also if it smells like Old Stone Church! More of all of those for another time!
Currently in the burning rotation in my apartment are Apple Crumble from Bath and Body Works and Back to Black from By Kilian.
Did I mention mine was signed? Another blog entry about that to come. PROMISE!!!! |
What are your favorite candle scents to snuggle to? Also, I'm looking for some good incense/churchy scents for Fête des Lumières in early December. Ideas anyone? Share both in the comments!

How is the burn of the By Kilian candles? Not that I can afford them?
ReplyDeleteI really like "Winter" candles from BBW. I detect some incense there - maybe not to the level of churchy, though. But for the price...
My candle taste is way more mundane than my perfume taste, apparently.
The burn is nice and slow. But w/ all single wick candles in my apartment I have to keep rotating it so my A/C doesn't always blow it in the same direction.
DeleteI thought I had the "Winter" one, but I have "Leaves" in our stash from the last sale. I was looking at the website last night...a French Baguette Candle? YUM!!!!
Mine's a lot less refined than my perfume taste, that's for sure. Something like a Kilian or Diptyque is a big treat FOR SURE!!!!!
I'm looking on a good combination of things to burn for the Festivle of Lights. Got to play tribute to my pre-Acadian roots!!!
I've got "Leaves" stocked up from a clearance sale too! Will definitely start burning that one soon. :)
DeleteWe just ordered 6 candles. I forgot what all they were....you know...the awesome 2/$20 sale! I know two were the apple crumble. Will report back on the other 4 when they arrive!
DeleteRight now I am digging Yankee Candle Farmers Market tarts followed by Autumn Wreath also by Yankee Candle.
ReplyDeleteCool! I'll have to check those out. I've got a Yankee Candle Holiday Wreath that I've been saving since last December, I'll light that puppy on Dec. 1 for sure!
DeleteOh and, while more of a winter scent than fall- Circle E's Silver Bells is my all-time favorite candle ever.
ReplyDeleteI've never smelled that one! I'm going home in mid-November, and you can bet Candle Cottage is on my list of stops!
