It is a glorious summer's day here in Wisconsin. We haven't had too many warm days so far, but today, aahhh today, is just heavenly! We have had tons of rain which has made all of the plants, trees, and grasses very, very happy and every thing is looking quite lush.
I am a huge candle/fragrance
The scent is a pineapple, mango, and grapefruit combo. Fresh, light, and it reminds of a fruity umbrella drink. Just the right scent for hot, summer nights - either outdoors or in.
My other home fragrance that I am grooving on this summer is Glade Scented Oil Plug In Cotton Candy. I bought it on a whim, and *omg alert* I am in love! IN LOVE. I like to use the scented oil burners in our guest room and lower level bar/family room since those are rooms we don't use regularly and it helps keep them smelling fresh. The Cotton Candy has a vanilla undertone that I just can't enough of, yet it is soft and cool at the same time. I am heading to the store and stocking up on these! Heavenly!
Now, nothing replaces fresh air, cooling breezes, and all that mumbo jumbo - that is the best. But, face it, the A/C runs most of the summer, so a fun, summery scent is a fantastic mood lifter. I also like having a candle outside at night while we are dining, or having a cocktail, etc. - the soft breeze moving the fragrance around the yard. Therapy for me!
How about you? Do you have a summer go-to scent (or scents!)?
Thanks for stopping by,
Jane
