The Smell of Happiness

I am totally in love with this box, and I have to admit it's not because of the amazing beauty products it contains! It's because of this first item… Drum roll please…

Neom Happiness Travel Candle £13

I am part way through my first Neom candle ever (now how bad is that). So I am simply overjoyed to know once it is finished I have another to take its place. I have to admit when I received the first one from a good friend, I was quite worried about the overwhelming smell they let off when you take the lid off and give it a sniff, so it was with tentativeness I lit it just a few weeks ago. But this powerful scent, when lit, became the most amazing scent in that where I normally quickly get used to it, I was still getting wafts of this fragrance hours later.  

Happiness is the new Spring/Summer scent from Neom. These candles are hand-poured in the UK and are made using vegetable wax and pure essential oils. They work as holistic treatments, so it is best to burn for between 2 - 4 hours at a time to let yourself relax and breathe in the fragrance. The travel line is good for burning in smaller rooms or trying out new scents; they burn for up to 20 hours. Happiness contains a mix of white neroli, mimosa, lemon and fresh grass notes to create a small reminiscent of Spring. This lively blend is said to help make you smile, relieve tension and add a sparkle to your day.
