We’re teaming up with Kelly Hoppen this month to offer our readers the chance to win some of her beautiful scented room candles candles.
I’ve said in the past that come Valentine’s Day, I don’t go in for dozens of tables of two crowded into restaurants knocking elbows with the couples either side.
Give me a home-cooked meal, a glass of wine, some of our favourite music on the stereo and one of these lovely scented candles. Who’s with me?
The candles are in lovely muted tones and are available in four evocative fragrances:
Scent One: Woody & Spicy
Scent One, Kelly’s signature fragrance, features a patchouli and violet base that weaves in harmony
with the aromatic notes of clove and myrrh.
Scent Two: Warm & Fruity
Top notes of pomegranate and grapefruit meet with elegant undertones of vanilla and cashmere to
make Scent Two a wonderfully warm and inviting fragrance perfect for the home.
Scent Three: Sweet & Floral
Heart notes of rose, grapefruit, cinnamon and lavender blend with base notes of sandalwood, vanilla
and cumin to create a beautifully delicate and uplifting fragrance.
Scent Four: Fresh & Clean
Scent Four features top notes of fresh mint leaves that combine with a heart of ginger, cassis and
sage to create a delightfully fresh and energizing scent for your home.
We’re giving away one of each fragrance – to be in with a chance of winning one of them, comment below telling us what your ideal Valentine’s evening would be like { keeping it clean please! 🙂 }
We’ll choose 4 winners at random on 12 February.
