Each season has scents that’s associated to them. Spring scents seem to be light florals and fresh and clean smells. Summer is fruity and tropical. But autumn and winter scents are the types of fragrances that give a room or home an invisible hug. One of the newer home fragrance products I’ve picked up recently has been Glade’s Limited Edition Festive Honey & Chocolate Aerosol from Home Bargains. Was this a good buy or disappointing?
Packaging
This aerosol/room spray comes in the typical cylinder, tall, room spray canister most products like this come in. What actually caught my attention of this product was the label on this. Very autumnal colours in browns and gold, with a great illustration of the actual fragrance. You look at it and you can imagine what the scent smells like and you really want to try it out.
Fragrance
This is the best bit! There’s definitely a hit of honey in this, mixed in with spices that gives it warmth and depth. There’s also some form of woody notes in this making sure that that the sweetness of this scent isn’t sickly. Is there chocolate in this? A little. I get that sort of chocolate-esq note to it, but it’s not the dominant part. Overall, this is beautiful. Cosy, warming and a very perfume like fragrance rather than a room spray.
Strength & longevity
When I first used this the hit of fragrance was there. What I didn’t like was this doesn’t linger. I want it to linger and be long lasting. The kind of fragrance this is it starts off well but doesn’t stick around. So strength could be better but longevity even more so.
Cost
Only £1.49 for 300ml which is a decent price for a well known home fragrance brand.
Recommended?
Despite the fact I would love this to be punchier I still would buy this again! The scent is impressive. And if I want to smell it more I will just spray more! Could it be better? Yes. But do I love it? Yes! So if you love this type of fragrance for your home, I would recommend it. It’s affordable, it also comes in other forms such as a candle, and it’s perfect for this time of year.
