2016 has been another truly wonderful year for the two of us and we’ve been blessed to work with so many amazing brands and been ever so lucky to review so many great products; so we thought it would be fun if we each shared our Top Scents of 2016 lists with you. It was ever so tough for us both to just pick ten scents each because there are so many great candle artists and creative geniuses out there.
So here it goes… Read More
When our buddies at Clouds asked me if I would like to do another review of their Candleberry Simmering Wax Cake Tarts, of course I said yes, I was really impressed with the Raspberry Lemonade ones I tried before (you can read that review HERE) and I was looking forward to trying some new scents and feeding my addiction.
Clouds sent me a Single Barrel Vanilla Simmering Wax Cake Tart to review, they know me too well!
Single Barrel Vanilla is described as “the sweet scent of Kentucky Bourbon-soaked Vanilla beans”… YUM!
We’re big vanilla fans here at V&L but we’re even bigger bourbon fans! We’ve mentioned before how we’re kind of bored of plain vanilla fragrances but we do like scents that are vanilla mixed with something else, so to have vanilla and bourbon mixed together is definitely a winner.
The scent is that of a warm, rich, creamy vanilla with a sort of musky, caramel, spicy bourbon. It’s just so luxurious and is a warming fragrance that would be the perfect for Autumn/Winter time.
The wax tart cake pieces are super easy to break off and I got about 8 hours (two tealights) out of one piece. There’s eight pieces in a pack so you’re looking at 60+ hours per pack and at £7.99, I think that’s really good value.
As well as Single Barrel Vanilla, Clouds also have lots of new fabulous and yummy scents in stock, like Blueberry Cobbler, Coconut Island and Distiller’s Charred Oak, don’t they sound incredible?!
Stay tuned for more reviews and be sure to follow Clouds on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram to keep up to date with their latest news and ever expanding product range.
I was so impressed with my Raspberry Lemonade Simmering Wax Cake Tarts that our friends at Clouds sent me to review (you can read that review HERE) that I was just dying to try out a Candleberry Candle. I spent so freakin long trying to choose a scent from their huge selection, in the end I decided to go for Hot Maple Toddy. I wasn’t feeling too well at the time and it sounded like just what I needed.
“Maple honey. Grandma used to cure all ailments with her special cup of warm spirits dashed with lemon juice. The best part was the spoonful of maple honey. And does this candle ever cure your senses! Get ready for the best candle ever.” Read More
When our friends at Clouds asked me if I would like to do a review of a Candleberry Simmering Cake Tart, I immediately said yes as Candleberry was a brand that I had been wanting to try for a while, but just hadn’t gotten around to it.
When it came to scents, I was beyond confused, Clouds just have too many great scents to choose from so I left it up to them to pick a scent from me, I just told them I liked foody or fruity fragrances. Boy oh boy did they pick the perfect scent for me!
When a little package arrived for me, I immediately knew what it was and what the fragrance was as I could smell it through the bubble wrap and through the envelope…
