Speaking of Sensual Scents...

Hello, Gorgeous!
I know it’s Tuesday, but I’m kinda still feeling the aftermath of the Sunday Scaries (THEY CHANGED THE DAMNED CLOCK. ahem. sorry about the shoutycaps. I hate when they do that).
Moving right along I’ve been trying to find ways to make the transition from weekend to hellscape a bit more gentle - and I think I’ve come up with something. Well, actually, Voluspa has.
Vanilla Sundays
What if there was a softer way to ease out of the coziness of weekending to work weeking? Now that Ser Duncan isn’t there to escort me out of my Sundays, I’m looking to luxury candle maker Voluspa to help out instead.
Their new scent, Vanilla Sunday, embraces the foodie ethos that’s been popular for a while now. I love the way the scent wafts through the room but doesn’t take over. The scent combo includes creamy vanilla sundae swirl, plum butter, airy freesia and whipped vanilla. The glass container has swirls meant to remind you of an ice cream sundae. And the fragrance mellows out to also include orris, amber, and skin musk. And in case you’re wondering, the scent was actually created as an antidote to the aforementioned Sunday Scaries. As explained by the brand, the goal of this scent is closing out the weekend “not as a source of anxiety, but as a ritual of calm, comfort, and self-care experienced through scent.” I’m here for the updated weekend rituals since shrieking into the void just isn’t working for me anymore.
You can find the entire collection at voluspa.com, where a classic 12 oz. candle is $48.
So what do we think? Can an aromatherapy break courtesy of a candle help with the end of weekend blues? Let’s meet in the comments to discuss!
