  • Everything Pumpkin Scented For Your Home in Home Bargains & B&M

    I’ve been keeping an eye on the high street for more autumn scented home fragrance products to hit the shelves. FINALLY, over the last week or so I’ve noticed a clear autumn feel, perfect for those who like to change their home fragrances seasonally. I’ve visited TK Maxx and Primark to see what they had pumpkin scented, and decided to see what Home Bargains and B&M had available in the same fragrance family. So what do they have?

    Pumpkin Scented Home Fragrance Products in Home Bargains & B&M
    Home Bargains
    Pumpkin Chai Wax Melt

    This particular one, Pumpkin Chai, was available last year, so clearly a popular scent. I can’t recall whether I’ve tried this one in the past, but it’s a little different from the usual pumpkin inspired scents on the high street. 99p for 100g.

    Pumpkin Chai Wax Melt
    Pumpkin Chai Reed Diffuser

    If you’re a fan of the Pumpkin Chai scent, why not double up with the wax melt AND reed diffuser? Reed diffusers are handy to provide fragrance in areas where you can’t access electricity or use a tea light. 100ml in size, nicely packaged and only £3.99.

    Pumpkin Pecan Waffle Reed Diffuser

    Although I couldn’t get a whiff of this, I’m hoping Pumpkin Pecan Waffle as a scent will be quite sweet, almost bakery like, which sounds good to me! Probably a little more country style in packaging compared to the Pumpkin Chai Reed Diffuser, but still looks good. Designed to provide fragrance for up to 14 weeks. £3.99.

    Pumpkin Spice is quite a typical scent for this time of year and comes in many forms. This comes in a spray dispenser which is activated at certain intervals. Ideal for those who just want to have a home fragrance product that releases fragrance all by itself, no fuss. Provides up to 70 days of fragrance. Costs £6.99.

    Glade’s Pumpkin Spice Latte Plug In

    Containing one refill and one plug in, this set home fragrance product will provide a hit of autumnal fragrance while not costing too much. Refills can be expensive. These sets can be costly, but this retails for £3.99 which isn’t bad at all!

    Air Wick’s Pumpkin Spice Reed Diffuser

    If plug ins or automatic sprays aren’t your thing, a reed diffuser might be. Pumpkin Spice, again, is by Air Wick. With this being a well known brand that delivers different home fragrance products, there’s a sense of reliability. Provides up to 4 weeks of fragrance. Costs £3.49.

    I found these pumpkin scented home fragrance products recently. But with stores ramping up their autumn ranges, I’m confident there’s even more on the shelves as I type! But if you love pumpkin as a scent, or purely wanting to change up summer home fragrance to autumn, there’s plenty to find in both Home Bargains and B&M!

  • Are These New? Crystal Infused Home Fragrance Range In B&M

    I’ve not visited my local B&M store for awhile, but spending a few minutes recently looking at their home fragrance ranges I spotted some interesting home fragrance products. I found products containing semi-precious stones, which I never saw on previous visits. So what was included in this range?

    B&M’s crystal infused candles, wax melts and reed diffusers
    Wax Melts

    The wax melts caught my eye first, since I’m a wax melt junkie! These come in the form of a wax melt snap bar, segmented with 8 sections to them. Each one housed in a clear, plastic container and costing only £1.50 each.

    Candles

    The candles were quite large and weighty in feel thanks to being housed in a frosted glass jar. Each having two wicks rather than 1 to light. These were £4.00.

    Reed Diffusers

    Typical looking reed diffusers with the glass bottle filled with fragrance and reeds separately housed in a sachet attached to it. £4.00 each.

    Fragrances

    Each product (wax melts, candles and reed diffusers) comes in 4 fragrances named after the semi – precious stones/crystals they are inspired by (and I think contain):

    Aquamarine = Ylang and Musk

    Clear Quartz = Gardenia and Vanilla

    Amethyst = Magnolia and Violet

    Rose Quartz = Peony and Rose

    I smelt all four of these and found them all to be quite nice. Amethyst had a slight Parma Violet scent to it, while the others were quite fresh in scent with floral backgrounds.

    How do these look?

    Both the wax melts and the candles looked quite basic. But the crystals being visible on top of the set, white wax, gave them a slightly edgy and earthy look. The candles being set in coloured jars finished them off well. The reed diffusers looked like any standard reed diffusers but with a few stones sitting at the bottom of the liquid. These didn’t grab my attention as much and could have been a little more imaginative look wise but still pleasant enough on the eye.

    Overall impression?

    I have no idea how new this range is but I like it! The scents smell nice, the overall appearance of each product is good with colouring of the labels tying in with the scents and stones used. Prices are budget friendly so offer great value for home fragrance and home decor products.
