Best Candles For Summer 2023 & 60 Years Of Diptyque Candles

Candles are not just for Christmas. In fact, they can be extremely soothing during the warmer months, helping to push off the lid of mugginess that can sometimes reduce the cheerful impact of any sunshine that may be around. I presented a few summer candle selections in a recent episode of Love At First Scent, from Boys Smells, the new British brand Fine Scents, as well as perennial favourite,…

Summer Melts Away, But Smells Remind Us Always!

The best way to remind people of what they miss is the smell of the item, place, or food. People have studied why smells unlock memories and emotions, and it is shocking to see the research. Who would have thought about it? With summer fading away and autumn creeping up, we need that reminder of the warm summer days and what better way than to have them in wax melt form? This way all your summer wishes can come right back during the cooler months.

The summer collection of wax melts has six great fragrances that reminds us all of summer. With these strongly fragranced melts, one cube will keep your place smelling like summer for around a week. Who would have thought, right? And another thing! Those people who worry about smoke because of birds or other animals, or maybe even if you don’t like candles, these wax melts don’t need any fire or matches and still make sure to keep your area smelling beautiful. Now how about we venture on into the fragrances, because that’s the thing that draws everyone in.

Rose petals and moonflowers are blooms that scream summer. The first in the summer collection of fragrances smells of radiant rose petals and marvelous moonflowers. The fragrance is floraly without making you feel you’ve shoved your nose into a bouquet every time you smell the wax. This combination shows off just how versatile these flowers can be. Georgia Peaches are synonymous with summer so it makes perfect sense for peaches to be a part of this summer lineup. With phthalate free fragrance oils, this wax melt will probably confuse some guests and make them think you’re poaching peaches for cobbler or your peach tree is right near your window. Sweet, succulent, and inviting, this peach fragrance has the ability to turn even the most stone hearted (peach pun) peach haters into peachy-keen peach lovers.

Most people don’t know that cacti have flowers, did you know? The beautiful blossoms of the cactus are so fresh and revitalizing that it pairs perfectly with the jade scent to ground everyone in the bright summer splendor. Agave and aloe pair together to brighten up the floral aroma and the patchouli brings it solidly into the perfect blend of scents to brighten up even the darkest of fall and winter days. As everyone knows, summer is all about relaxation. School is out, the weather is warm, everyone is free and easy-going.

The fourth fragrance in the collection is Nag Champa with Grapefruit mint. There are people who hear nag champa and immediately begin to say “that’s for hippies and incense burners”. Well, Birds of Valhalla would like to change that tune. With the amber to warm the fragrance, the bright rose and lily of the valley to perk up the senses, sandalwood and patchouli to darken and savor the scent with musk and violets, this aroma isn’t just for hippies. Nag champa is a fragrance that is universal and unisex, allowing those who love darker and more sultry scents to enjoy this fragrance oil. Pamper yourself with this luscious smell made summery by the addition of grapefruit mint. Ruby red grapefruits lend their signature tang to this wax with the fresh and clean mint hint. Lavender to relax and rhubarb to envelop the senses layer onto this already complex scent. But don’t fear, you won’t go noseblind from this. If you don’t believe it, then you may have to order just to see if this statement is wrong.

The fifth fragrance in this collection is Cypress, Bayberry, and Lilac. Cypress and Bayberry are parts of the signature line fragrance World Tree. These woodsy and dark scents are lightened up by the simple floral of lilac flowers from the fields that grow between the dark woods. Beautiful purple flowers meld together with the fresh evergreen scents of the woods to remind you of laying out in the grass of a meadow in the woods as a perfumed breeze wafts over you, bringing the scent of sunshine and lilacs. Who wouldn’t like to have that memory on a snowy day?

The final fragrance of this collection is a fragrance that many people who have ordered the astrology line know. Those familiar with the Cancer astrology soap know the fragrance of Sea Salt and Orchid. Bringing together land and sea, this fragrance allows you to sit back in the shade of a tropical tree while on the beach, smelling the sea salt spray as it comes from the crashing waves in front of you. 

Each of these compelling and carefully chosen fragrances are meant to remind you of summer as the days get shorter and the nights get longer. Grab your collection here and don’t wait! Just like summer, they’re not going to be around much longer. This collection, and those memories you want to hold onto from this year, is about to be headed out. Grab yours right here! And just remember, summer’s fading away, but scents remind us always.

<- A/B/O Anon

HI- *coughs* well, they aren’t exactly headcanons, just ideas I have that I wanna chat about.

I’m on a big Omega!Bruce kick so here they are. (these can or can’t be connected but I do love the idea of them being connected)

1. Brucie Wayne is a known Omega, one that flits from date to date. The thing is, Batman is known as an omega too. This time he’s the embodiment of an Omegan Mom protecting their nest Territory from all threats. Like Omegas used to do in the Olden Times™️, feral behavior and scenting is common >:3

2. A/B/O Dynamics don’t actually exist outside Gotham. Sure, some Gothamites have moved out so A/B/O is known, but isn’t seen outside Gothamites.

So when Dick Grayson came to Gotham he was very confused and didn’t really understand what was going on.

When Bruce eventually scoops him up and brings him home, Dick is even more confused. Atleast in Juvie the A/B/O behaviors were stifled except for posturing, but now outside of Juvie? In the home of an Omega? He’s gonna get the full brunt of Bruce both fussing over him and trying his best to not cross the line of Bruce being his Pack Guardian and not Pack Omega. (Either way, for Dick it’s very much smothering)

It doesn’t click for Bruce or Alfred until Bruce comes sulking to Alfred about his pup being broken and not even accepting being scented! Doesn’t Dick want to feel safe??? No one’s going to touch Dick if he’s smothered in Wayne Scent!!! (Maybe eventually Dick gets startled when he starts to instinctively responding as a pup would/is able to smell scents/feel pack bonds)

3. When Jason gets tossed into the Lazarus pit, it actually repairs his pack bonds. Sure, it’s not perfect, Jason can’t actually reach out through the bonds to respond- but he can feel his Pack’s love, not to mention their desperation to get him back as soon as they realize Jay’s bonds are back. (Talia, meanwhile, is still trying to convince Jay that Bruce doesn’t love him and how he replaced him, but that doesn’t quite work as Jason can feel his Pack’s love- not to mention the absolute adoration coming from the newest, weakest, and youngest link in the pack)

4. And finally four- One of the Robins vanish from the Teen Titans for quite a bit- and when they come back, they’re questioned on where they went. Robin sighs and just says Batman was being broody again, and the Teen Titans just think that Batman was brooding.

In actuality, the Robin had to deal with Bruce being broody in the chicken sense. AKA, “You Are My Child And I Will Keep You In My Nest And Focus Entirely On You And Your Well-being. ..What do you mean taking care of myself? I have to take care of my PUP!”

I absolutely adore all of this. Love the idea of it being a Gotham thing because Gotham is just Like That. Like there's so many curses and magic and who knows how many chemicals that they're like, still human but also just built different.

Gosh, if heats are a thing I like to think they're more platonic. Just, fussing over pack members and being the Broodiest Thing Ever with every family member and will get Upset if one tries to leave the Nest where they are Safe and can be Taken Care Of.

Pfft, the poor Justice League are not prepared for Batman to get broody on a mission and force them all to take care of themselves with no context. They're not his pack, but well, they have fought together and they're sort-of friends, depending on the timeline.

Poor Damian is going to get smothered, Bruce is going to get Very broody the moment Jason returns, and with Another Pup. Tim & Dick get yoinked back from the Titans Tower to be smothered and snuggled and absolutely covered in the family's scent.

Absolutely love the idea of them learning how to be a pup and pack together and am vibrating in utter glee at all of this.

What do your boys smell like?

I talked about this a bit on this earlier post and I don't think I have anything significant to add to it at this time. But I could tell you which perfumes they might wear in modern times? (Scents are hard to describe but I included some of their main notes to give you a vaguest idea of what they're like).

Vasco

État libre d'Orange - Tom of Finland (iris, leather, tonka bean) Dior - Homme Parfum (leather, iris, rose) Tom Ford - Tuscan leather (leather, woody, amber)

Machete

Heeley - Cardinal (linen, myrrh, frankincense) État libre d'Orange - Rien Intense Incense (frankincense, amber) Lalique - Encre Noire (cypress, vetiver)

Domestic bowuigi thoughts, whenever Luigi either visits or in an essence 'comes home' to Bowsers Castle he naturally takes his shoes off at the door not wanting to traipse mud into his husbands house happy to trade them for the personal slippers waiting at the door for him (first time they were there for him probably nearly cried like personal slippers?? For me?? "yea of course my love you're part of the family? Are you okay?" ;~; yea just gonna cry)

However whenever he's leant over undoing his shoe laces to slip off his boots he absolutely has to contend with whichever Koopaling has heard him return running up and proceeding to smoosh and rub their face against his cap his cheek his mustache ect. They're so happy to see him they absolutely gotta smoosh their face into him! So he's there like yes yes hello I love you too I'm home as he does his boots, he's probably also started to playfully smoosh his face back against theirs. And bowser absolutely scoops him up to smoosh against him too cause gotta scent mark the hubby make him smell like home.

Basically the Koopa family are cats and this is very much based off my cat who when I'm leant over undoing my boots proceeds to rub his face against mine probably scent marking but happy to see me.

It’s candle time! New home scents from Paul Smith, Acqua Di Parma, Ostens and others. And there are some perfume reviews too. Because it’s always perfume time.

I headed deeper into autumn over on YouTube the other day, with a video that focussed on some seasonal candles, as well as a few new perfume releases and a look at Argentum, a brand that certainly doesn’t hold back with the packaging. Here’s a link to the episode: Bjork & Berries Botanist, Argentum Magician, Argentum Lover, Peosym Lost Wonderer, candles from Ostens, Paul Smith, Penhaligon’s,…

Being ace but also being people-pleasing enough that I think I'm not ace cuz I like to make my partner happy...is a mind-fuck.
