  • Everything Pumpkin Scented For Your Home In Primark & TK Maxx

    Autumn! Such a great season overall. The weather, the fashion, the general feel of places is totally different to the previous season we’ve encountered. And I love it! One thing I love about this time of the year is home fragrance. Yes, we still have candles, wax melts, reed diffusers and plug ins available. But the scents they come in are cosy, warming and homely. One scent that will be around for a few months is going to be pumpkin. Not just because of autumn but for Halloween too. So what does stores Primark and TK Maxx have right now home fragrance product wise in pumpkin scent?

    A very large and yet again, a lovely presented home fragrance product in the form of a reed diffuser. Boxed, autumnally decorated and I want it! I was distracted by too many beautifully things so didn’t get the price, but probably around the £12.99 mark.

    To buy or not to buy?

    Honestly? There was so many pumpkin scented home fragrance products in both Primark and TK Maxx my head was spinning! This was just a selection of some of what’s available. The ones I could sniff all smelt great, and definitely had the pumpkin element to it. How these products were presented blew my mind! I never look at home products in TK Maxx but I will have to in the future. And as usual, Primark has delivered with what they have in store.

    So if you’re looking for candles, reed diffusers (and more) in a pumpkin scent, you need to visit these two stores!

  • Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar From Home of Honey Candle Co

    We’re now in a season when home fragrance products are the best! The scent choices, the products available, all fitting for the colder months we are now heading into. Which for many of us mean we spend more time inside, or at least are trying to make our homes more comfortable ready for the seasonal change. Without fail, my beloved wax melts are ready to be used and I’ve just started to use wax from a selection I was kindly given by wax vendor Home of Honey Candle Co last month. My first wax melt of choice was Apple Spice, so what is it like?

    Home of Honey Candle & Co’s Apple Spice Wax Melt Snap Bar
    How does it look?

    Apple Spice came in a traditional wax melt snap bar made up of 5 segments. A sprinkle of green and iridescent glitter on the front of this bar makes it stand out. The wax itself colour wise seems to be a mix of pale green and off white. A very attractive bar of wax which reflects it’s fragrance name. Neatly packaged in a clear plastic sleeve with a white bow to finish off the presentation.

    Fragrance

    Sweet, juicy apple rolled into a mix of different spices including (I’m guessing) cinnamon, mixed spice and possibly nutmeg. This is a gorgeous blend of scents combined into one, making this fragrance fruity, warming and very bakery like in how it smells. It has an almost apple crumble smell to it, but not quite, although just as good.

    In melt

    I popped 2 segments of Apple Spice in 2 different wax warmers (one positioned in the living room, the other in the hallway). They both melted evenly and quite quickly and released fragrance straight away. The scent grew and was more noticeable as time went on, which made the fragrance feel and smell very natural.

    Strength & Longevity

    Apple Spice is medium in strength. Think of something baking in the oven and that scent floats around the kitchen. It’s not strong, it definitely isn’t weak. It’s there, it smells good and you enjoy that scent so much you can’t wait to take out whatever is in the oven. This is what Apple Spice makes me think of in regards to how it smells, how it lingers in the air and the general feel it gives. Longevity, this wax melt bar lasted 2 days in 2 locations before the strength lessened. But they were melting for a good number of hours at a time.

    Recommended?

    Apple Spice is a yummy scent. It screams Autumn and Winter. It’s warming and comforting, it’s not sickly sweet but is very much a bakery scent rather than full on fruit. Definitely recommended. Wax melt snap bars cost only £2.50, they come in various fragrances but this is worth adding to your collection!

  • New Autumn Home Fragrance products In Aldi

    FINALLY, stores are really pumping out Autumn inspired home fragrance products! Autumn is my favourite season and so are the scents that come out to celebrate it. There is nothing nicer than being all curled up, cosy and comfortable at home with beautiful fragrances floating through the air making your house feel like a home. So what has supermarket Aldi released to help give home fragrance lovers their Autumn scent fix?

    Purewick Reed Diffusers

    100ml in size, Purewick Reed Diffusers are packaged in such a fun, different Autumnal way than other products. All diffusers are boxed but with very simplistic shapes on them e.g scarves, hats, gloves etc. £3.99 each.

    Reed Diffusers
    Purewick Wax Melts

    I got confused from the first glance as these looked like tea lights. Each pack contains 8 wax melts, with the colour of the melts matching the colour of their packaging. Great packaging thanks to illustrations on them. £2.49.

    Purewick Tealights

    These tealights look a little more special compared to everyday tealights. Rather than being shrink wrapped in plastic, like the rest of the range at Aldi, these come boxed. Contains 24 tealights at a cost of £2.49.

    Scented Tealights
    Purewick Pinecone/Pumpkin Shaped Wax Candles

    Each box contains 3 wax candles, either shaped as pinecones or pumpkins. Each candle is shaped the same but slightly different colours. The pinecone candles are different shades of brown and the pumpkins different shades of orange. I gave each version the sniff test and nothing, so I’m assuming they aren’t scented, but they still look great! £3.49.

    Shaped candles
    Fragrances

    The wax melts, tealights and reed diffusers all come in three different fragrances: Pumpkin Spice, Autumn/Woods and Toasted Marshmallow Fireside. All of them smelt nice and suited their fragrance names and the Autumn season.

    First impressions?

    The packaging of each of these products is sooo good! You would never guess they were from a supermarket at the price they are being sold for thanks to how they are presented. Great choice in scents, perfect for Autumn. Would I buy any of these? Maybe a reed diffuser. As usual, if you want to grab your hands on any of these home fragrance goodies, you have to be quick and visit your local Aldi sooner rather than later!

  • 4 Autumn Inspired Home Fragrance Products Under £3.00

    A new season means new home fragrance products and scents. Yay! As much as fruity, tropical scents are enjoyable when the sun is shining and the temperature is hot, Autumn fragrances have a natural homely, comforting feel to them. That’s probably one of the main reasons why I love when Autumn products are in stores, making the home the new outside in. So what have I spotted ready to give an Autumn vibe to homes?

    4 Autumn inspired home fragrance products
    Asda

    Cinnamon Sticks Reed Diffuser. A mix of cinnamon and cedarwood is the perfect woody and warming combination mixed into Asda’s George Cinnamon Sticks Reed Diffuser. Nicely packaged, good size, made to release fragrance for up to 8 weeks and only £3.00.

    Asda’s George Cinnamon Sticks Reed Diffuser

    Pacific Wax Co Vanilla Shortbread Wax Melt. Although not a traditional Autumn fragrance, I think most scents bakery based work well during this cooler season. Buttery, vanillary, a great wax to pop on making a room feel very cosy. Down from £1.00 to 75p (could be store dependant).

    Wickford & Co’s Large Gingerbread Candle. Gingerbread has got to be one of the most loved and used fragrances during Autumn. It’s one of those scents I love to experience in wax melt form, but people love the candle versions too. Wickford & Co’s Large Gingerbread Candle is a whopper! Burns up to 95 hours, great strength of scent, comes in a lidded and heavy jar and costs only £2.99.

    Wickford & Co’s Gingerbread Candle

    Wickford & Co’s Pumpkin Chai Wax Melt. I don’t remember seeing this last year so possibly a new scent for Autumn 2024. This is an an interesting take on the typical, fleshy slightly sweet scent of pumpkin but with a mix of warming spice. 8 squares of wax should provide hours of fragrance, and costs 99p.

    Wickford & Co’s Pumpkin Chai Wax Melts

    More and more affordable Autumn inspired home fragrance products will definitely appear over the next few weeks. But these 4 I think are a good start to kick of September.
