Hey!! What Smells So Good?????

I don't usually write about products that I can't stick on a wall

 or cover over a piece of furniture.

But a big part of the experience of a home is its scent.

Some folks are big into scented candles, 

Some folks aren't.

I was in the undecided camp.

So when I was contacted by

Goose Creek Candle Co

to review one of their scented candles;

 I had to sit my tokes down, and think about how I felt......

WELL!!!!!

I was willing to give it a try.

They were sending me the candle for free, and I was going to get compensated for my opinion!!!!!

SOMEONE WAS GOING TO PAY ME FOR MY OPINION!!!!!!!

I could write the truth and I'd still get paid!!!

Don't they know I'm a wild card???????

You never can tell what's about to come out of my mouth

 (or out of my keyboard.....)

When I informed my father of this situation, he wanted me to request

two candles

for the purpose of comparison.

I felt that would be pushy......

(I know, I know,,,,, can you imagine I was worried about being pushy?????)

So.........

The candle arrived this week to much excitement in the Speert households!!!!!

(For those of you who are new to my blog;

 my parents live in the condo next door to me.....)

I ran next door with my booty and butane lighter,

 and my parents and I fired the darn thing up with much anticipation!!!!!

Then we just sat in the living room looking at the little fire burning.....,

Waiting for the smell.....

Pretty soon a sweet appley flowery sent started wafting into the room!!!

At this point, I grabbed it and took it next door for the experiment to begin in earnest.....

 This is the Victorian style jar that the candle comes in.

It has a nice metal cover that  has a plastic gasket around the inside 
to tightly seal the jar and hold in the scent, 
preserving the life of the candle.

So, you can burn it in short periods, 
add aroma to your home, 
cover the jar,
 and it will last a loooooooong time....

 When you've burned the whole candle,
 you'll be left with a pretty jar you can transform into something great for storage that has a nice tight seal.
I like the fact that there is no big label on the jar,
 so it looks nice on a countertop, no need to hide it.

I was allowed to choose any one of the popular scents.

Being a foodaholic, I chose the one that was supposed to 

smell like apple pie.....

It's in their American Heirloom collection.

It's called: Apple Bourbon Scented Candle.

It's fragrance description is:

Country favorite -  apple pie topped with luscious hot caramel sauce, warmed with a touch of Grandpa's bourbon and topped with a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream. 

So, I was really excited to have my house smell like I was actually baking something, 'cuz that doesn't really happen here in this house too often.....

So, 

This is my take on how it smells.

It has a sweet fruity flowery smell.

I definitely smell the surgary tones of the caramel sauce. 

Not sure about any bourbon scent.

Flowery apple scent.

maybe a little vanilla overtones.

Overall, a very pleasing aroma.

Not sure it smells like I was baking anything.

but then my friends and family would have just been confused when they came to visit.

It definitely took care of last nights oven poached salmon oder!!!!

There are times, (now that I think about it.....) when my house doesn't smell as fantabulous as I may want.

THIS WOULD REALLY HELP WITH THAT ISSUE!!!!!

So, it could be useful if I lit it after I cook some god awful dish that didn't turn out so great.

Or, on really  hot days, when the garbage can needed to be changed due to the wrapping from the chicken breast from the night before......

Or, I don't know, maybe I'll go crazy, and light it just to make my house smell pretty!!!!!

Sooooooo.....

If you like scented candles and potpourri, 

you will definitely like this stuff!

The container is attractive, 

It smells pretty

It lasts a looooong time.
