My bee favourite is Hamptons from Glasshouse.
When we stayed at an air bnb in Kaikoura they had a diffuser of the same scent. It is not too strong but as I walk into the room the scent is amazing

My candle arrived yesterday and it's beautiful but definitely more rose than oud. I couldn't get any throw off it when I lit it but I was also wearing Lush's Rose Jam so I think that over powered it. 

Today I found exactly the oud scent I was looking for in a Glade candle in the supermarket. I'm not keen on paraffin wax candles but got it anyway.

It's the Elegant Amber and Oud three wick candle. It's a super strong smokey scent so I didn't burn it for long. Gone back to the Black Rose and Oud which I can smell today but it's very subtle.

I think it may have given me a bit of a headache too - not sure as not feeling 100% at the mo. I've worked out it smells like By the Fireplace perfume and the matching candle for that is over $100. So quite happy with the $85 saving lol.

This may be why I haven't bought a glade candle in a while.

Oh no Lisalou! What have I done!  Maybe it's a good one to leave unlit somewhere like the bathroom or toilet if it's that strong!

Pure Blend (an NZ company) Frankincense & Myrrh. Strong smokey/incense kind of smell. Not one I would have chosen but it was a gift. Nice to have a candle lit on this overcast day.

Xmas gift from my cousin Ecoya Vanilla Bean candle. A couple of the other scents available were prosecco, blood orange, marine and caramel. Something about the gentle glow of candles that is relaxing after a busy day.

Had my mum over for lunch this week. Aside from frantically cleaning my house, cooking and baking; I wanted it to smell welcoming too. Picked up Glade Sheer Vanilla Embrace ( I think its called). Wonderful, welcoming homey smell candle. A new fav!

Bought a Boston Living Creamy Vanilla Candle from Briscoes. It's really average, not good throw, barely vanilla scent and burns terribly. Has literally burned in the centre of the candle, so much wastage around the outside. Wouldn't recommend.
