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:

Recommendations mean so much 😊. Thank you @katwills21 🤍
I wish the transformation was as easy as that! 

I messed up and ran out of paint, and as colour-matched paint isn’t readily available in the middle of the countryside, I had to make a 1 1/2 hour round trip to get some more so I could finish the final wall 🥴, which meant I finished later than planned, and only just managed to return the hire van with 2 minutes to spare 😮‍💨.

Transformation finally complete!

If you’re planning on coming to Bramham Horse Trials, come find me in the Country Living Pavilion.
And that’s a wrap! 
I’m not going to lie, it’s been a full on 7 days at John Lewis, Leeds, but I’ve had such an incredible time. 

The MIXMY ‘combine to create’ home fragrance concept has gone down an absolute storm 🙌. 

We’re now all packed up and about to get ready for our next pop-up… but before I get to work on that one, I’d like to welcome all of my new John Lewis customers - I’ve loved chatting with every single one of you 😊.
Enjoy discovering MIXMY Scents x
I’m not a natural in front of the camera, so bear with me and my freestyle talk to camera; and excuse the hole in the ceiling - which I only realised was in the shot after I’d managed to do this in one take, and there was no way I was doing it again 🫣

In short, this is a big thank you to John Lewis for supporting the brand and the concept; to the John Lewis staff for looking after me; and most importantly, to all of my new John Lewis customers - thank you for visiting the MIXMY counter and buying into MIXMY’s different take on home fragrance 😊; and finally, a huge thank you to all of my beautiful friends and family who have either stumbled across me as they’ve been out shopping, or made the trip to Leeds especially to see me. You have no idea what a boost you’ve given me during the long days; and a particular thank you to Rachel, Mark and Alex for manning the counter so I could nip off and have a quick break 🥰.
