WHY USE SCENTED CANDLES IN THE SUMMER?

Most of us associate the cold, dark winter months with candle burning, as we try to create that warm, cosy feel we hanker after when it’s lashing down and blowing a gale outside; but scented candles can bring just as much joy and atmosphere to your home in the warm, summer months.

Firstly, MIXMY’s refillable Primary Candles have been created using a very high percentage of the finest fragrance oils. This, combined with our sustainable, 100% natural vegetable wax, and the very specific blending technique we use to hand craft our luxury scented candles, means the hot and cold scent throw of MIXMY candles and refills are incredible – don’t just take our word for it, read our reviews!

The ‘scent throw’ is how well a candle distributes its fragrance when lit (hot throw) and when not lit and at room temperature (cold throw).

MIXMY’s cold scent throw, in particular, is heightened during the summer months as the heat intensifies the fragrance infusion in the air – emitting its beautiful fragrance and scenting your home even when not lit!

Secondly, the practice of summer scenting can lift spirits and bring joy as you burn scented candle fragrances that evoke the essence of summer – uplifting scents that capture the feeling of warm weather, blooming flowers, sun-ripened fruits and holidays.
So even if the sun disappears for a while (as it’s prone to doing in the UK!), bring the essence of summer into your home; and when the sun does put in an appearance, use scented candles to add another dimension to alfresco dining – transforming your outdoor space into a #SunbathedMediterraneanTerrace or perhaps the #VibrantBalearics!

Thirdly, kitchen odours can be intensified and linger due to the warm weather, so a scented candle works wonders at keeping your kitchen smelling fresh.

And finally, as MIXMY fragrances have been designed to combine with each other to create whole new fragrance combinations, you have the choice of burning Primary Candles alone for a powerful aromatic statement, or alongside each other to create personalised Scent Destination™ fragrance combinations to suit your mood, the weather or the occasion. For this reason, MIXMY refillable Primary Candles are a great and unique gift (or treat to yourself!) as they bring a sense of fun to home fragrance.

I’ll be pairing the following Primary Candles to create three very different Scent Destinations™ this Summer:

Recently, I was invited by the highly acclaimed Middleton Lodge Hotel to host an evening of scent discovery. Guests were welcomed in the Main House, set within the beautiful grounds of the Georgian estate, and after drinks in the drawing room, I soon had everyone immersed in the world of fragrance. It was a joyful few hours, where I got to meet the most wonderful people who were all keen to learn more about the art of perfumery and home fragrance - all of whom left a little more knowledgable.

Scent your space with style… or style your space with scent. What draws you in first - the artistry of the glass or the fragrance it holds?
This season, we’ve partnered with Nine Tines - a smooth, premium British potato vodka - to bring a perfectly balanced pairing of fragrance and flavour: a warming cocktail especially created by Nine Tines to pair with our 4. SMOOTH / AMBERY fragrance.

The Cardamom & Vanilla Vodka Sour mirrors the smooth, sensual depth of 4. SMOOTH / AMBERY - blending spice, warmth and soft sweetness in perfect harmony.

THE FRAGRANCE sees cardamom and smoky incense melt into creamy sandalwood, grounded by the smooth, vanillary warmth of tonka.

IN THE GLASS, those same comforting notes unfold through lemon, vanilla and crushed cardamom, creating a drink that feels as rich and enveloping as the scent itself.

Ingredients:
 ·50ml Nine Tines Vodka 
 · 25ml Lemon juice 
 · 15ml Sugar syrup 
 · ¼ tsp Vanilla extract 
 · Cardamom pod (crushed) 
 · Egg white (or foamer) 
 · Lemon twist to garnish 
Method:
	· Crush the cardamon pod and place in your shaker
	· Add 50 ml of Nine Tines vodka, 25 ml Lemon juice, 15ml Sugar and a ¼ tsp Vanilla extract to your cocktail shaker
	· Dry shake vigorously to combine all of the ingredients and create a luxurious foam 
	· Add a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until the shaker is well-chilled
	· Strain from the cocktail shaker into the glass 
	· Leave for a few minutes to allow the foam to settle then garnish with a twist of lemon

Enjoy!
