I love to keep my home smelling fresh and clean and one of my favourite ways to do this is with scented candles. I love the way they can create a clean fresh feeling in the house or a warm cosy atmosphere. My house is open plan so they are also good for banishing any lingering cooking smells.

Just before Christmas Tesco were selling Glade candles for £2.00 instead of their usual £4.00 price tag, I always like to buy a few of these when they are on offer and I have just finished burning Bali Sandalwood & Jasmine. I was drawn to this one because it has jasmine in it which is one of my favourite fragrances when it comes to scented candles.

As I mentioned I bought my Glade candle from my local Tesco for just £2.00, The candle is sold in a small box with one corner cut away allowing you to give the wax a good smell before you buy. The box is mainly green and white and displays the Glade logo on the top and sides. The top of the box also informs the customer that this is Bali Sandalwood and Jasmine and will last for up to 30 hours. There is a small picture of some jasmine flowers on the box along with sandalwood.

The rest of the box is taken up with the usual information you would expect to find on a product like this such as a few safety do's and don'ts and warnings. All of these are really just common sense and are written in several languages.

The candle is sold in a little round glass jar which measures approximately 3 inches high, this has a plastic wrapper stuck tightly around it which although sounds a bit tacky does actually look very pretty once the candle is lit. The pattern looks like part of the glass. In this case the wrapper is a cream and gold colour with a gold swirly pattern on it, its very pretty and has a lovely sheen to it when the candle is alight.

The wax itself is white in colour and smells absolutely gorgeous, its warm, sweet and rich, an ideal fragrance for the winter evenings.

Once lit it doesn't take long for the delicious smell to filter around the room, the fragrance is warm, heady and floral with the jasmine dominating, its ideal for winter evenings creating a cosy warm atmosphere. The smell lingers well after the candle has been extinguished and I could even smell it faintly when I came down my stairs the next morning.

Glade state that this will last for up to 30 hours, personally I found that a little ambitious but it did last for a good 25 hours. I found the wax burned down evenly so it was all used. For the £2.00 price tag this was a great buy however I loved the fragrance so much I would be prepared to pay full price for this one.
