Capri Mercury

This post goes out to all you candle fans, I know there are heaps of you!

One good thing about this snowy weather we're getting at the moment means it gives us an excuse to shop...I've already taken advantage, a beautiful (faux) fur headband from Sweaty Betty  and this gorgeous scented candle from Anthropologie.

If snow isn't a good excuse to get all cosy at home with a onsie, chocolate covered pretzels and a good scented candle, I don't know what the heck is!

Any of you who have ever ventured into Anthropoligie will know how absolutely devine it smells in there. On Sunday, we managed to sniff out the culprit... Capri Mercury in 'Volcano'.

This, my dears, is by far the best candle I have ever burnt. It's done a lovely job of filling our whole house (yup, the whole house from one candle) with it's gorgeous scent of 'tropical fruits, sugared oranges, lemons, and limes, redolent with lightly exotic mountain greens'. Yum!

I also love that it comes in this beautiful glass jar. When it's finally all burnt down and finished, that will be a very sad day, but I'm planning on re-using it for tea-lights, or perhaps as a make up brush holder in my bathroom. Oh, and we'll definitely be replacing it with another one!

It was £22, which may seem like a lot for some of you, but I cannot stress enough what a lovely smell it is and how much it relaxes me. So worth it.

Have you ever tried any candles from Anthropologie? What are your favourite scented candles this winter?
