Autumn / Winter Scenting

MIXMY was created so scented candles no longer fall out of favour. Whether this is because the seasons change and your summery scented candle is no longer appropriate for those long wintery nights; your mood changes and you crave a different scent; or you simply become bored of it.

We don’t believe scented candles should just be used at specific times of the year – like citrus and floral scents in the summer and woody ones in the winter. MIXMY fragrances have been meticulously designed to combine with each other, allowing you to mix and match your MIXMY Primary Candles to create whole new fragrance combinations, or Scent Destinations™, to suit every time of the year, every mood and every occasion.

A palette of MIXMY Primary Candles allows you to create many different Scent Destinations™.

The leaves have turned and the nights are drawing in. Autumn/Winter is well and truly upon us.

Here is Vicky’s favourite Autumn/Winter fragrance combination:

“At this time of year, it has to be #SecludedBrambleWood which you get by burning 2. BERRY / GREEN and 5. WOOD / SMOULDER together.

The earthy green leaf notes of 2. BERRY / GREEN come to the fore, whilst the tangy berry notes are subtly interwoven with the sweet smokiness of 5. WOOD / SMOULDER.

I close my eyes and I’m transported to an ancient wood where wild brambles lay beneath towering woodland trees. The peaceful sound of rain is pattering on rich, green leaves. Damp, earthy moss surrounds the dying embers of a camp fire cloaked in a haze of sweet smoke.

If I were to use one word to describe the combined scent of #SecludedBrambleWood, it would be ‘peaceful’.

I invite you to enjoy #SecludedBrambleWood this Autumn.”

Scented candles should be burned, not saved for best. This is because the fragrance in scented candles isn’t static - it evolves and degrades over time due to natural processes, even when the candle is not lit, so over time, this leads to a gradual loss of scent intensity.

The beauty of a MIXMY candle is in the experience, not its shelf life… so get burning!

Do you burn or save for best?
When creating MIXMY, combinable fragrances were at the top of my list as I wanted MIXMY fragrances to work all year round. 
So rather than the lighter, fresh fruity and floral notes being mainly limited to the warmer Spring/Summer months; and the heavier spicy and woody notes dominating the Autumn/Winter months; MIXMY fragrances have been created to be used alone and smell incredible, but they can also be paired with each other to create entirely new fragrances, meaning both the lighter and the heavier fragrances can be used year round, and allows you to really personalise and tailor-make your home fragrance experience.

Do you have out-of-season home fragrances sat waiting for their season to come round again?

What’s the most memorable gift you’ve ever received?
Early Spring is the time to open up the garden. Our walled terraced garden is very much an extension of our home, allowing us to throw open the doors and move the entertaining outside.

Power-washing the paving is my love-hate Spring job. I hate doing it, but I love the way it transforms the outdoor space… although it’s not been too bad this year as I did a second power-wash at the end of the Summer.

A few years ago, I had some covers made for the garden furniture and the outdoor kitchen - I was sick of the normal outdoor covers blowing off and not being 100% waterproof, so I had covers made using robust, waterproof yachting fabric, and they’ve been brilliant… but it’s time they’re packed away and the furniture comes out of hibernation. Let the outdoor living commence!
