Christmas candles that are heaven scent

CHRISTMAS conjures upvivid images: piles ofgifts, the sparkle ofdecorations and tablesgroaning with food. But

its aromas are surely just aspotent.

The smell of pine, woodsmoke,cinnamon and cloves can instantlyget you in the mood for the season,even if there’s still plenty of stressfulpreparation to contend with.

The power of home fragrance,rightly now regarded as an essentialaccessory, is particularly apparent atthis time of year when we’respending more time indoors – oftenentertaining – and need to createatmosphere in rooms to suit ourmood.

“When it comes to choosing scentsfor the home at Christmas, perhapsthe most popular are the traditionalspice notes because they arewarming and comforting,” says LisaHipgrave, director of theInternational Fragrance Association– United Kingdom.

“I’m always looking forproducts with clove, cinnamonand orange notes. Othertraditional and much-lovedfragrances are based onfrankincense and myrrh, whichare also warm and welcoming.”

If those are too predictable for you,she suggests black peppercorns andvanilla, or try the newest fragrancesthat include the scent of snowflakesand ice.

“These crisp, cold, fashionablescents are achieved usingingredients with herbal, mentholnuances as well as white floralnotes,” says Hipgrave.

She points out that, as well aschoosing home fragrances to suityour mood, you can also themethem to complement your decor.

“If you’ve selected warm redberries and flowers with red tablenapkins, for instance, then thespicy warm scents may be theperfect choice to enhance themood.”

Follow your nose for scents tosuit your style and your budget.

SEASONAL SPICE“It’s one of the most popular times ofyear for scented candles andfragrance sprays,” says KateRowland, fragrance buyer forSainsbury’s.

“Lighting candles in a scent youlike instantly creates a welcoming,

cosyatmosphere. I like

to make a feature byfilling a glass bowl with differentheight candles, with one of themfragranced and surrounded bybaubles.

“To make the aroma last longer,spritz the room with acomplementing scented room spray.”

SPLURGE: Pine andeucalyptus luxury candle, £260,Jo Malone. Or True GraceSnowfall 12 candle votive set,£50, John Lewis. Each votivedepicts a tiny image, and thescent is a smoky blend of cedarand sandalwood.

SPEND: Tu Christmas spicewax filled glass scented candle,£3, Sainsbury’s. Or try Yankee

Candle’s fantasy fragrance, WhiteChristmas, which has naturalextracts conjuring evergreens andfreshly fallen snow, from £7.49 for asmall jar size.

KEEP CALMIf you’re stressed by all thefestivities, you probably need scentswhich soothe.

“There can be a lot of tension in

the lead-up to the holiday andsoothing scents can take thetemperature down. Calming scentsinclude lavender and geranium,”says Rosey Barnet, artistic directorof Shearer Candles.

SPLURGE: Neom Organics is oneof the Duchess of Cambridge’sfavourite candle companies. ItsSensuous Candle, £37.50, is for thoseneeding to hibernate and has YlangYlang, frankincense and patchouli.

The law says tenants’ deposits must be held in aseparate bank account.

But who upholds the law?

It can be the like the Wild West out there.

Tenants with no name trash your place yet stillcome hunting their bounty. Agents can be unableto play the lawman. Or bite the dust and leave youlegally liable for money you haven’t got. If you’renot careful you can be more Skint Eastwood thanClint Eastwood.

But not with Bluerow.

We register deposits, check tenants in and out,supply an inventory and prepare all contactdocumentation professionally.

Which means your dollars stay in your fists,not somebody else’s.
