Awhile back David and I were wandering aromatherapy had town and decided to go have a look in Princes Square, one of the shops we decided to go into was Shearer Candles. The candles they sold smelled amazing, and although at the time I couldn’t afford to buy any I knew I’d be back to pick up a few.
Flash forward to when I got paid, whilst killing time in town before a meeting one day I decided to pop in and see what I wanted. There was s few things in the sale so I didn’t spend as much as I might have otherwise - I’d also set myself a max spend of £40 (I’d already spent £25 on candles that week, whoops, you can see that haul here though if ya like). Shearer Candles are a Scottish Company, founded in Glasgow, and are the UKs longest established lifestyle candle company.
I decided to get this massive 3 wick candle, its their 20th anniversary candle, its got a lovely soft scent to it - on the jar it says its Amber and Rose. My mum thinks it smells like patchouli oil, but I think it just smells soft and sweet, almost a bit like honey. This candle was £15 in the sale, and has around 60 hours of burn time in it. The design on the label is really nice too - very Scottish but still elegant. I also got the Rhubarb and Raspberry scented candle, and oh boi this smells hella good. This scent is new for 2017 and if you were to section off your scents into seasons then this would definitely be more of a summer scent, but thats not gonna stop me from burning it through autumn. It was £9 for this candle, and I think it smells just like those rhubarb and custard sweets you can buy. Its a lovely juicy mouth watering scent. The jar is a weighty pink/ purple colour with a silver lid, the lid doesn't have a rubber rim or anything on it so it will fall off if your not careful, but thats not an issue for me.
I got a few tealights from them too - they were £2.50, and are peach and tamarind scented. They smell divine, you get 8 in a pack and even whilst burning they smell beautiful. I got them with this lovely candle holder in mind. This is so cute whilst a candle is inside it, the tree design is lovely. There was three size options for this holder and I got the middle size, it was £15 and is perfect for the autumn winter time.
Have you tried anything from Shearer Candles before?
