Airy, tender notes of crabapple blossom, meadow buttercup and delicate lily of the valley stir in a balmy breeze. Fiddlehead fronds, moist and verdant, unfurl to engender a cooling, dewy undernote.

A candle men will enjoy ...
Date:March 12, 2013
I tried out the new Fiddlehead Fern & Crabapple candle on my boyfriend for a few evenings in a row, and he volunteered that this is the best candle he ever noticed--just loves the aroma. I realized that it worked to stimulate his appetite for dinner, as well! I'm primarily a floral person, while he prefers fruity scents, and somehow this new fragrance combines the best of both worlds.

Subtle, velvety undertones of woodland violet, purple clover, fresh mint and wild geranium intensify under the sun’s warmth. Wood rosebud hovers gently, releasing a sweet, romantic top note.

Unique contrast with depth and longevity
Date:March 1, 2013
Here's a scent combination for people who generally don't notice or care about home fragrance or scented candles. There's an unusual depth and brightness that somehow stay alive in the room long after use. Totally intriguing.

Ravishing floral notes of honeyed linden flower intoxicate the air. Lemon verbena shimmers, while damp soil and yellow violet lend an earthy sweetness. Juicy notes of lilac nectar and dewberry burst with ripening fruit.

Dreams of bees and daisies
Date:March 1, 2013
This is the ultimate "night, night, sleep well" candle. I burned it for two evenings and the aroma of honey and flowers made me dream I was a child again, in a field filled with friendly honeybees and daisies. The fragrance is wonderfully subtle--I think my new favorite in the Wildwood line.

Enjoy a moment of delicate reverie fragranced with the ethereal beauty of Temple Tree Jasmine. Features a moisture-rich formula of soothing Madonna lily extract and velvety monoi butter. Also enriched with humectant glycerin to nurture and moisturize skin. Makes an inspired gift for someone dear to you—including yourself.

My new favorite floral
Date:February 6, 2013
I was exhausted: too much overtime...moving...and then had a flat tire! So that night I treated myself to a bath with my Temple Tree Bubble Bath, which I had been saving for a special occasion. Talk about an out-of-this-world experience--I have never felt so soothed, so surrounded by my favorite fragrances in exquisite balance, so pampered ... A friend who rarely remarks on scent commented that he really loved the way his entire home smelled beautiful after my bath. Thank you!!!

Because few places are as dark and captivating as the forest.
The subtle warmth of brandied pumpkin is infused with a cozy, welcoming blend of Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon bark, sweet nutmeg and spicy clove. Timeless amber, sandalwood and patchouli kindle an earthy depth.

Good "Feng Shui" for the Office
Date:February 5, 2013
My boss is a firm believer in office feng shui. We were discussing aromatherapy, and I decided to try the Thymes Brandied Pumpkin and Chestnut Diffuser at work and get everyone's reaction. It's amazing! The warm aroma is subtle enough to not disturb people with allergies and scent sensitivities, but vibrant enough to create an inviting atmosphere the minute anyone steps in the door--and no one can figure out why! I think this is my favorite Wildwood fragrance yet.

Because few places are as dark and captivating as the forest.
A snap of fresh spruce, frosted elderberries and smoky birch tingles and invigorates. The crisp chill is warmed with sparkling bergamot, bright eucalyptus, velvety lavender and grated cinnamon, grounded by balsamic frankincense and lush moss.

Transforming my car into a hideaway
Date:February 5, 2013
I've discovered a new way to enjoy my favorite Thymes potpourris: I keep some in my car. The Blue Spruce & Elderberry combination completely eliminates that stale air smell and the unwanted residual aromas that collect when you're on the run all day. Now I even look forward to driving in slow traffic, which used to drive me crazy!

Transform your shower or bath into a calming retreat to center the mind. This shower gel creates a rich, cleansing lather fragranced with the lulling hush of Lotus Santal.

Exhilarating
Date:February 5, 2013
I have never been a morning person, but I'm finding the dawn hours much easier to manage when I use my new Lotus Santal Body Wash. It wakes up my senses in a slow release of luscious fragrance.

The true jasmine scent I've been seeking
Date:February 5, 2013
Temple Tree Jasmine hand cream is a beautiful addition to my favorite Thymes florals. I apply it several times a day just to lift my mood! It's also the perfect cream to smooth on before important events, so you can shake hands with confidence. I wore it recently while meeting our state's governor and new Senators, and I knew my hands would be smooth, delicately scented, and just right for a memorable occasion. I can't wait to try the rest of the line...this is the true jasmine scent I have been craving.

Lotus Santal is a lulling hush that smoothes the rhythms of the day, embracing you in a silence that grounds, calms, focuses. Lotus blossom, a symbol of peace and enlightenment, calms your skin while amaranth seed restores smoothness and turmeric helps purify. Hand-touched embellishments and a tempting tranquil fragrance make Lotus Santal a perfect collection to give—or savor.
Sultry floral notes of cocoa orchid and red lotus swirl through layers of exotic plum wood, patchouli, and spicy touches of clove bud. Creamy amber and sandalwood create a warm intoxicating finish.

A glow in the dark while camping
Date:February 5, 2013
I've been collecting Thymes candles for years now, and decided to try something different: I brought my new Lotus Santal Candle along while camping at the beach, and it made the weekend extraordinary. The touch of exotic in the aroma, the welcoming glow in my tent, the soothing mood triggered by this fragrance were the perfect accompaniment to the breaking waves and whispering palms. The scent is unforgettable.

Magnolia Fig & Vetiver Candle
Few places are as dark and mysterious as the forest. This remarkable scented candle invites the forest's otherworldly intrigue into your home, for approximately 60 hours of alluring fragrance.
Overall
Warm, welcoming, and wholly natural
Date:September 20, 2011
I have been burning the new Magnolia Fig & Vetiver Candle to celebrate my birthday (the last week of the old, the first week of the new), and it is a true treasure. I've always loved the sweet grass smell of vetiver, and in this rich and charming blend, it makes an ideal meditation fragance. The candle spreads a golden glow throughout my bedroom, and the tantalizing warm scent invites me to welcome the new while releasing the old. Another magical gift from the world of Wildwood...
