December 2019 – Page 2

There’s lots of things that cement the arrival of the festive period, one of which has to be the scent of the Space.NK Shimmering Spice Candle. Each year I purchase one of the beautiful packaged candles and burn it almost religiously up until the main event, slowly but surely it has become both a rather wonderful household tradition for myself and so many others I know too.

As much as I do enjoy the gentle aroma of the Space.NK Shimmering Spice Candle, I can’t say I am a huge fan of the packaging this year; it is a little too gaudy and bold for my personal (albeit boring) taste. I can however overlook such aspect and appreciate that Space.NK do give the candle a face lift each year something other companies fail to do, so there’s bound to be the odd design that doesn’t quite set my soul on fire, every now and then.

In a bid to stop waffling on about candles, I will keep this feature short and sweet: a rich and almost savoury blend of cinnamon, cedar and general spice notes. It manages the near impossible in that it isn’t your typical winter seasonal scent; there’s no sickly sweet note but rather it’s akin to a a fruity alcoholic punch, paired with the welcoming fragrance of a pine wreath on a wooden door. I know that’s a lot to take in but it essentially smells just like all the best parts of the festive season and perhaps this is why so many deem the Space.NK Shimmering Spice Candle to be the ultimate Christmas candle.

If you are struggling with a gift for someone or simply want to make the run up to the big day that little more festive, you could do a lot worse than picking up a Space.NK Shimmering Spice Candle or two.
