SPRING SCENTING

It’s as if Winter has clung on until the bitter end. Just over a week ago my garden was cloaked in a thick blanket of snow. Then came the frost and I was back to scraping ice from the car windscreen. Today, the first day of Spring, and just like that, it’s a whole different story – the Winter chill has been replaced by the gentle warmth of the sun, which the Spring buds are revelling in after being teased and then frozen over the previous few weeks!

To me, Spring is all about reinvigoration, a renewed energy, anticipation of the warmer and longer days ahead, the planning of garden soirees with friends (in the hope it doesn’t rain!); and with that comes the desire for a change in home fragrance to reflect the change in season.

The beauty of MIXMY Primary Candle fragrances is that they can be combined to create new fragrance combinations, or Scent Destinations™. No need to go out and buy new scented candles. Just combine different Primary Candles to create whole new fragrances. No more wasted, half burnt candles because they no longer suit the season or your mood!

Simply choose the Primary Candles you wish to burn together based on the fragrance notes you love, and enjoy the combined fragrance; OR, choose the Scent Destination™ you wish to create and burn the appropriate two Primary Candles to achieve that Scent Destination™.

Soft floral, fresh green, vibrant and joyously mellow fragrances all perfectly reflect the mood of the Spring season; so I’ll be pairing the following Primary Candles to create three very different Scent Destinations™ this season:

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?

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!

What are your Spring jobs?
