Without the need for words, sounds or images; scent alone can evoke years of past memories that have come and gone like the breeze from the turbulent waves of the Indian Ocean. When you wander through Boots you remember your deceased grandmother through the sweet, sterile aroma of talcum powder and soap and the same happens when your mother interprets the infamous steak and kidney pie she used to make in times of heartbreak and you can’t help but inwardly smile to yourself as you fondly remember her immortal “A soggy-bottomed pie is not a pie at all” words as she passionately threw the all-important ‘love’ into the mix to heal the wounds of yet another broken relationship.
The same can be said about the aroma of fresh strawberries and Belgian chocolate. Indeed, they were the ingredients that swung your decision to say “yes” when your partner of countless years finally decided to drop on bended knee- ring in hand- to ask for your hand in marriage. So you can see; without scent, the world would be a much duller place and memories would be as weak as a cup of tea made with a thrice-dunked bag.
The most poignant memories created through smell, are those you least expect. Whether it is the smell of bubblegum that reminds you of the excitement you felt as a child upon hearing the jingle of Mr. Whippy driving up the street or the ‘eau-de- Eggnog’ that prevailed in your house throughout the festive season; it is the reintroduction of these evocative scents that brings the other emotions together to create the overall picture.
Rather than cracking open a bottle of creamy liquor, rolling out the suet-crust or taking a bath in Johnson’s finest; scented candles could be all you need to rebirth some of your most tender memories. Lily Flame scented candles not only smell amazing but they also look beautiful on your mantelpiece and, like the scent they create; can enhance the atmosphere in any situation. Bask in the Jamaican heat with the Coconut Grove scented candles- ideal for relaxation and tranquility; roam through the English countryside with the Cut Grass scented candles- the natural partner for an outdoor soiree; wander the picturesque climbs of the Alps with the Winter Garland scented candles- not to be neglected if you want to warm the cockles during a particularly arduous winter and how about the Rose Petals scented candles for when lustful love-making is on the cards?
And the list of Lily Flame scented candles just goes on and there are Lily Flame Scented candles for the young and the old alike. Some can’t bear sweet smells and would prefer their scented candles to be a bit more citrus-based and sparky whereas others like their scented candles to be as sickly as a white chocolate dipped marshmallow.
