Plus there’s a reed diffuser again this year and a 3 wick candle! Check out the Space NK Shimmering Spice line up for 2024. It smells wonderful and I absolutely love this year’s look! It’s Christmas perfection!

Space NK Shimmering Spice Candle Notes

It uses a gorgeous blend of spicy cinnamon and fresh citrus, and then it softens beautifully into a smooth, creamy base of cedar and vanilla.

My Review

The Shimmering Spice scent has become one of my all time favourite festive treats and I know I’m not alone. So many readers now buy this Christmas Candle religiously every year because it smells amazing, burns evenly and slowly, and keeps your room fragranced for hours. For such a great quality candle, the price point (£28) is absolutely brilliant.

I love the scent of this candle. It is so beautiful and fills the house with long lasting scent really quickly. I have more expensive candles that don’t achieve the distance this one does! This year’s candle has the same scent as previous years, which of course is excellent news. It is available now at Space NK HERE*.

If you are ever having trouble getting into the Christmas spirit, light this gorgeous thing and you’ll be half way there!

I love that there’s a 3 wick candle this year too. There’s nothing better than Shimmering Spice, apart from more of Shimmering Spice!! It smells amazing too.

Where to buy it

The Space NK Shimmering Spice Candle in 175g size is £28 and the 2-wick candle is £42. The Reed Diffuser is £36. Find the collection exclusively at Space NK* now.

Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum Review

This is the first of the Victoria Beckham fragrances I have tried, and I have to say, I am really impressed. Here’s what you need to know about Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum.

What is Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie?

This is Victoria Beckham’s third launch in her luxury fragrance collection and this one is in the amber-woody category which is right up my street!

Victoria says, “21:50 Rêverie represents a profound instant of change in my life in 2001. With this fragrance—a dark, raw vanilla—I am taken right back to an otherworldly night on the island of Java where thousands of tea candles surrounded us. A luscious, earthy scent was in the air and the flames twinkled like flickers of my new life ahead.”

  • Amber-woody eau de parfum
  • Uses a raw, animalic version of vanilla
  • Made in USA of US and Imported Ingredients
  • Designed in France by master perfumer Jerome Epinette
  • Available in 50ml and 100ml
  • Comes in a deep green glossy flanker with gold accents
  • Cruelty-free, Vegan, Gluten-free, Soy-free, Nut-free

Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Notes

Top notes – Tobacco Leaves

Heart notes – Plum

Base notes – Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Cedarwood

My Review

Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Review

As I said at the top, I have been so impressed by the fragrance, and although I didn’t expect it to, it has quickly worked its way into my favourites of the season. I absolutely love it.

It has a smoky, deep, dark and moody vibe, that feels super sexy and sensual, and I think it’s the perfect date fragrance for when you want to turn on the glam.

The tobacco gives it an almost sharp and raw opening which is strangely addictive, however, this quickly blends into the woody raw vanilla with a hint of plum. It all works so beautifully together.

I find this really quite long lasting on my skin, but never overpowering. You can smell it, but it isn’t ‘in your face’ at all, which means I am loving wearing it during the day as well.

I love the bottle. It feels super chic, and the spray mechanism feels expensive and puffs out the perfect cloud of scent. It all feels extremely elegant yet cosy. Love it.

If you love sexy vanillas with an edge, and nothing too sweet, I think you could confidently blind buy this.

Where to buy it

Victoria Beckham Beauty 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum is £170 for 50ml and £245 for 100ml and available now via the links below:

velvet smoke baked kiss scented candle review 2

My Review of Velvet Smoke Baked Kiss

Velvet Smoke Baked Kiss Review
Velvet Smoke Baked Kiss Review

This is another gorgeous candle from Velvet Smoke. It is luscious and tropical, and there is nothing that makes me feel content, warm and cosy like the creamy smell of suntan lotion.

As soon as it’s lit, Baked Kiss quickly fills the room with a heady summer mix of coconut, sea salt and the idea of warm skin and a summer breeze. It’s fabulous.

It has a gorgeous creamy quality and a brilliant clash of salty and sweet which makes it really unique and addictive. It’s not too sweet and maintains a freshness that keeps it beautifully balanced with light and dark.

There’s a gorgeous smoky woodiness thanks to tobacco and soft sandalwood which gives it a wonderful comforting feel, perfect for wintry, festive evenings.

Like the first candle that Velvet Smoke launched, Filthy Rose (review here), a big thing I love about Baked Kiss is the glass vessel it comes in. It’s absolutely stunning and the colours are so pretty. I’m obsessed. Once you have used the candle, you will definitely want to keep the glass jar and could use it for a cocktail, to hold your makeup brushes, or just as a gorgeous ornament. Whatever takes your fancy.

I am really looking forward to what they launch next!

Where to buy it

The Baked Kiss candles is £49 and available now via the link below:

Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum Review

It has been a long time since I have tried something new from Ormonde Jayne so I was delighted to received the latest Eau de Parfum inspired by the Himalayan valleys. Here’s the low down on Ormonde Jayne Kashmir.

What is Ormonde Jayne Kashmir?

Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum
Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum

Kashmir is a unisex fragrance and classified as a warm woody.

Its inspiration comes from the snowy glaciers and lakes in the Himalayan valleys that are rich in Deodar trees. During the summer, the valleys are also home to rare blue poppies and Kashmiri saffron which also feature in the fragrance.

The focus of the scent of is the woody hypnotic note of the Deodar cedar tree. Alongside the Blue Poppy in the heart, there’s a soft blend of iris, rose and jasmine.

Fragrance Notes – Ormonde Jayne Kashmir

Top Notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Coriander Seed, Saffron, Pink Pepper

Heart Notes: Jasmine, Iris, Rose, Blue Poppy, Himalayan Fir

Base Notes: Deodar, Sandalwood, Cashmeran, Benzoin, Vanilla, Patchouli, Incense, Myrrh, Musk

My Review

Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum Review
Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum Review

First of all, I absolutely love the packaging. It comes in an orange box with a sleeve and the bottle is just beautiful. It feels heavy and luxurious, and the colour, a graded orange shade, is just stunning. The silver cap feels really weighty and solid.

I think this is a great scent for Autumn. It is warm and woody and subtly spicy, softened from within by very gentle floral tones. It has a very soothing and calming vibe, perfect for this time of year.

Ormonde Jayne Kashmir is woody but in a different way to a lot of woody fragrances I have tried. I think that’s down to the Himalayan Cedar it uses, called Deodar which has a freshness that comes from mountain air.

It has quite a bright start with bergamot, saffron, pink pepper and coriander with a soft spiciness. As it develops, a very subtle rose comes through, just a hint, along with jasmine and iris which gives a kind of powdery quality.

It has warm and creamy dry down that’s very skin-like and comforting. This is the Deodar cedar and sandalwood with the very soft sweetness of vanilla.

The full effect for me is something that makes me think of someone coming in from the cold with the smell of fresh, clean hair, if you know what I mean? You know the way that cold air accentuates certain scents? It is crisp and clean yet still warm and woody, which I think makes it pretty unique.

I’d say this is a fairly subtle fragrance and there is nothing overpowering about it. More of a personal fragrance than one that says hello before you do, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t long lasting. I can smell it at arm’s length for a good couple of hours after first spraying, and I can still smell it softly on my skin at the end of the day.

I think it’s perfect for the colder seasons, but I can also see this as a year-round fragrance. I’m a fan.

Where to buy it

Ormonde Jayne Kashmir Eau de Parfum is £175 for 88ml, and available now via the links below:

If you are still looking for a new fragrance and don’t know where to start, I’d highly recommend a Fragrance Advent Calendar. They usually sell out pretty quickly, however, the Space NK Fragrance Advent Calendar is still available.
