Here we are again at a brand new catalogue launch. New fragrances, new product lines - there aren't many of the Spring/Summer fragrances I don't like. This of course means trouble as my wish list expands even further!

| Our NEW "Simply" Collection review will follow soon! |
This is my opinion on the NEW fragrances this season.....more to follow too!
Apricot & Agave
NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Soft orange coloured wax
Just from removing the lid a waft of juicy apricot rises up.
First sniff: Ooooh hellooooo apricot. Soft and juicy. Not too sweet. Second
sniff: Slightly less sweet than the first but all in all, a nice fruity one
here.
Honeymoon Hideaway
NEW in Romance Collection
Slightly off white wax colour
Sweet & silky upon first sniff. A hint of coconut, I’d
say coconut milk but the text description says coconut palm. A re-sniff and I
can now get the kiwi coming through. A nice mix, very calming. That kiwi will
come out more the longer it is warmed I think.
Iris Petals NEW in
Romance Collection
Lilac colour wax
First sniff: hit by a beautiful perfume, this has depth and
would fill a room with it’s sweet fragrance. Second sniff confirms the depth, a
hint of palma
violets from my childhood – but so, so tender. What a lovely fragrance to add
to your collection. Relaxing & calming.
Verbena Leaf NEW in
Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Pale green colour wax
Wowser! I wasn’t expecting that. This is like the smell of
the dock leaves you’d rub on nettle stings – this is taking me back to building
dens in the woods! Green and earthy. Second sniff and I can get the mint, and
the citrus cuts through the earthiness too. There’s also the basil coming out.
I’d like to warm this one and enjoy all these layers coming out. A fan of that
freshly cut grass smell, this is one for me this summer without the hayfever!
Walk on the Beach NEW
in Spa Collection
Creamy coloured wax
First sniff: Salty freshness, Second sniff: Mild florals, the salt is there but it's in good taste, like you are licking the air at the beach, that’s exactly it. Not sure how it manages to be soft and salty, but it does and it's going on my "must warm" list. This is going to be lovely to walk in to come the sticky summer days. (yes - we will have them - believe people!)
Grapefruit & Acai NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Pinky Red colour red
A mixture of fresh fruitiness. Slightly sherberty with hits of apple & pineapple. Not so much of the grapefruit I was expecting.
Lychee Sorbet NEW in Corner Café Collection
Nice pink coloured wax
Sharp as you’d expect. This has “fizz” to it that cuts into the sharpness, a headfull of juicy berries this is fresh & fruity.

Plum Trifle NEW in Corner Café Collection
Purple Colour wax
Woo hoo! I’m not a foody wax fan but on first sniff I am getting a whole lot of sweetness, biscuity layers in there I’m sure. Creamy vanilla & deep plum tones. This is a foody one that I would warm. Lots of lovely layers and not too sweet.
Tiare Maohi NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Cream coloured wax
First sniff: Lovely nose full of gardenia. Like walking into a flower shop! White florals with a hint of coconut make this an all over pleasant fragrance.
Clementine & Sage NEW in Tropical Collection
Orange coloured wax
Fizzy on first sniff, the bubbles do hit you. Second sniffing and there’s a really nice soft clementine coming through, it’s gently sweet in a fruity way and the sage cuts in nicely to bring the sweetness down. The fizziness lessens with every sniff and the Clementine comes out more. I think this is going on my list to warm.
Serene Green NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Pale lime green wax
First sniff: Subtle lime and nice fresh body to it. I can smell green leaves, a very clean, crisp scent. Subtle. This would be lovely after a good cleaning session at home!
Perk Me Up NEW in the Corner Café Collection
Light brown wax
A nose full of creamy coffee. Not overpowering, and with a tad of nuttiness. Brilliant for homeowners and estate agents wanting to sell property. Fill it with this welcoming and homely scent of freshly brewed coffee.
White Jasmine & Vetiver NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Pale lilac coloured wax
First sniff: A gorgeous light perfume of jasmine & sweet lilac. Lovely sweetness, not sickly sweet. Second sniff and there’s that body of lilac, and layers of jasmine. A lovely softness to this fragrance. I’d love to see this in the body spray.
Lemons & Berries NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Pink coloured wax
First sniff: Crikey! That is a big hit of juicyness! Starburst in a wax bar! Tart but creamy. Citrus and fruity. So much body this is going to be warmed in my house for sure.
Pixie NEW in Spring/Summer 2013 Collection
Reddy brown coloured wax
First sniff: Subtle and hard to know what I’m smelling. Second sniff: There’s the pink pepper and it’s earthy, not at all sweet or fruity despite the mandarin. I’d be interested to see how this was warmed as I’m not getting the benefit of all the layers in a cold wax.
Cherry Vanilla NEW in Corner Café Collection
Red coloured wax
First sniff: Very cherry! Second sniff: Almonds coming through, sweet & creamy vanilla envelopes the cherries now. A lovely array of tones would come out and produce a wonderful cocktail when warmed.
Silk & Ivory NEW Romance Collection
Creamy white wax
I have to share this fragrance with you! I think it is one of the most stunning from the new selection. The description in the catalogues says Fresh muguet and sweet sugar entwine dark chocolate and sandalwood. I can honestly tell you I can't distinguish from the fragrance any chocolate, but all of those ingredients together make me melt when I smell it! Like Satin Sheets with umph! I seriously want to sit and chill with my slippers on and a cup of tea. maybe a cuddle on the sofa! I have never come across such an awesome fragrance that makes me instantly switch off and chill.
A Wink & a Smile NEW in Spring/Summer Collection
Orange coloured wax
Subtle floral scent. Lovely smiley fragrance like being presented with a bouquet.
