For those who frequent this joint regularly, you’ll know I adore subscription boxes, from my favourite Beauty Box, Little Known Box to the Scent From Boxes. Which are filled full of the most deliciously scented candles, a ‘Scent From’ official scent and usually a candle by the fantastic Shearers Candles or Flamingo Candles. This month’s theme is The Alps. There’s also a beautiful little homeware item to keep which is carefully selected with precision. To not only match the different theme of the box that is presented each month but to also fit seamlessly into your home.
I am a huge lover of candles. Not only do they look great when dressing up your rooms but they can transport any home to far away destinations. Evoke distant, warm and happy memories. They also have the power to take away the stresses of the day with one swoop of a match to their wick. There’s nothing more relaxing than a darkened room with your favourite smelling candle flickering in the background.
Scent from….far away
From faraway lands to city escapes every month Scent From transports you to different coordinates around the globe. This month: The Alps, and I must admit that this has been by far my favourite box yet!
As I opened the brown cardboard box. With the same excitement and anticipation that I feel each and every month when I see the coordinates branded box with the Scent From sticker emblazoned upon it. I was instantly hit with the fresh, clean scent of this month’s signature scent.
This month’s large signature tin candle sees a wintry windswept fresh scent to transport you to the peaks of Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The fresh yet strong fir scent brings that warm winter smell indoors and makes you want to grab you Ski attire and head off-piste.
Warm scented candles from The Alps
This, accompanied by a warm spice Shearers Candle, the cinnamon-spiced candle. Which is complemented by clove and spiced apple has a burn time of 20 hours. Juxtaposes itself perfectly with the large tin candle. Whilst transporting us to a large open wood fire surrounded by timber and fur blankets. The rich cinnamon notes have you reaching for a large mug of cocoa by this roaring log fire, after a long day of skiing down the mountains.
The warm rich spices, gently dance around your nose. With an almost Christmas feel to this little number it’s perfect for those wet and windy Winter evenings that are still upon us. Accompanying the small tin candle is Shearer Candle’s warm spice hand lotion. This soft and sumptuous formula is devilishly creamy. Thick and packed full of the rich aromas just like the deep blue cinnamon spiced candle.

Finally, the string ball battery operated lights are interjected in the box. To symbolise the twinkling stars above in the crystal clear night sky. Perfect for hanging on your mirror, stringing from your bed. Or in my case carefully positioning them inside a glass bowl. To create an expensive and impressive looking feature. That sits perfectly upon my hall console table. The white woven balls offer a soft muted light which is perfect for the theme of relaxation which The Alps encapsulates in this enchanting month’s subscription box.
