Philosophy Cinnamon Sugared Apples Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath

 

From hereon in you’ll find me slowly easing myself into the Christmas spirit, and I’ve begun by indulging in one of my favourite festive traditions.

Each year I wait eagerly to discover what the new limited edition Philosophy Festive scents will be and this year they’ve created what could be my all-time favourite.

Please give a warm welcome to the new Cinnamon Sugared Apples Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath.

 

Now, say what you want about bubble baths and shower gels, but for me, Philosophy are the crème de la crème at creating the most deliciously sumptuous bathing products.

Exquisitely scented, luxurious in texture and capable of producing a tub full of plentiful, frothy bubbles, they are my go-to-bathing brand of choice.

As always there are a several limited edition festive fragrances available, Skating In The Snow, Under The Mistletoe, Snow Angel and Candy Cane being the others.

 

Skating In The Snow features soft notes of sweet jasmine, offering a fresh, floral experience.

Under the Mistletoe stays with the floral vibes with delicate violet blossoms and lily of the valley, Snow Angel boasts sparkling notes of crisp fuji apple and fresh air mingling with white flower while Candy Cane boats gourmand notes of crisp peppermint blended with sweet vanilla.

But. For me, it is all about Cinnamon Sugared Apples.

 

 

The rich, golden caramel-esq gel swirls inside the statuesque bottle with black cap inviting you to unleash its addictive aroma.

This wonderfully warming and comforting scent is underpinned with the spicy warmth that emanates from cinnamon.

Meanwhile, soft, sweet notes of caramelised sugar mingle with the crisp, sweetness of fresh, juicy apples creating a deliciously decadent festive aroma that cocoons you in a sense of comfort, relaxation and peace.

 

 

A multi-tasking superhero, you can use this rich, creamy yet gentle formula as a shampoo, shower gel or bubble bath, meaning you can totally layer your scent!

The only problem? You’ll find yourself never wanting to leave the bath again!

Philosophy’s Limited Edition Cinnamon Sugared Apples Shampoo, Shower Gel & Bubble Bath is available now along with the rest of their festive scents and cost £16 each.

WoodWick Trilogy Holiday Cheer Candle

 I bloomin’ love a scented candle, no more so than at Christmas.

There is something  so pleasurable and comforting about stepping into a room filled with a beautiful festive scent to really lift your mood and I’ve discovered the ultimate candle to do just this.

Say hello to the Woodwick Trilogy Holiday Cheer candle (£29.99).

 

 

This tall, elegant hourglass shaped candle features three unique elements which together create a deeply soothing atmosphere throughout your home.

This candle doesn’t just smell incredible though, it SOUNDS amazing too.

Yeah, you did read that right.

This candle creates a unique multi-sensory experience.

But how can a candle sound relaxing? Well, I’ll tell you!

 

 

This Woodwick piece features a patented wick design called Pluswick.

In essence, the wick has been made from organic wood to create not just a better burn and fast fragrance, but it also offers a soothing, authentic crackle as it burns.

Ever sat in front of an open fire and enjoyed the atmospheric crackling sound as the wood burns? Well this candle replicates that very same experience.

Its cross shaped design fills your room with fragrance up to five times faster than standard cotton wick, produces a slow, soot free burn and boasts a very impressive 180 hours of burn time.

 

 

The candle features a solid, wooden lid which doubles up as a protective base for the candle to stand on to protect your surfaces and you won’t be left with a messy residue on the sides of your jar.

Holiday Cheer is a gorgeous scent comprising of three individual elements.

The scent is made up from Caramel Toasted Sesame, Cinnamon Chai and Spiced Blackberry which together create a delicious, warm fruity fragrance that is perfect for calming the mind and body whilst awakening your senses.

Imagine a buttery, flaky vanilla drizzled pastry with a rich, blackberry and cinnamon centre and you’ve got Holiday Cheer.

 

 

The Caramel Toasted Sesame element offers the sweet relaxing scent of a warm toasted sesame, pecan and maple toffee with a splash of bourbon and vanilla as a treat on a winter’s day.

Cinnamon Chai encourages relaxation as it emits fragrances of warm spicy cinnamon and rich vanilla notes.

Finally, Spiced Blackberry creates a warm, fruity aroma full of rich blackberry and cinnamon with a soft hint of vanilla. 

 

 

Decadent, luxurious and divine, it is the candle of my dreams.

Woodwick’s Trilogy Holiday Cheer candle is available now and costs £29.99 for a large candle like the one pictured.
