Can you smell it?

Autumn that is....

Picture

The little Japanese quince fruits are edible I believe, but very small and very bitter. The lovely   fragrance of them got me thinking about other favourite smells of the moment.

Woodsmoke and mushrooms out of doors, and indoors I am loving the smell of these candles. They are my favourite candles for Christmas so they are still in the cupboard, but I get an enticing whiff every time I open the cupboard door. (Thank you Lynne).

When I find a scent I love I have learned to stock up in the sales, which is just as well as they tend to discontinue my favourites! St Eval do this scent in a tin....

Picture

..and I have one and a half tucked away. The candle on the right is Fireside by The White Company. Absolutely gorgeous - like a wonderful old library with leather armchairs and a log fire and perhaps a sniff of brandy. I adore it, so why have they discontinued that as well?

I recently bought this bottle of distilled rosewater from M&S delicatessen - £2.95 I think. On impulse  I put a splash of it into the water for the iron. Such a pleasure it made of the ironing today!

All very hygge don't you think?  (See this post.)

What are your favourite smells of the moment?

Woodsmoke, wet leaves and the new paint on the latest set of double glazed replacement sash windows that are going in very slowly.We are living in chaos but it will all be worth it in the end.

Lucille - is this work a follow-on from Kondoing? I think that is about to happen here!

It might be something of the mindset that wants to prioritise wisely. Moving everything out of the rooms has achieved a speeded up Kondoing stage one. I shall be reluctant to put a lot of it back now I see the rooms empty. In any case, there is a lot of re-decorating to do first.

Lemon verbena. I have just harvested the last leaves from my plant before it starts to die back for winter. They smell divine and make a lovely bedtime drink. I am also enjoying the scent of quinces in my living room. They are waiting to be made into jelly.

I have lemon verbena soap - gorgeous! But these are all the quince I have, so no jelly here..

I love the smell, and taste , of quince. It's one of those things that has a unique flavour and scent.
And yes, a very hygge post!xx

I am really into hygge now Penny as it has become colder and we are about to change the clocks back. Thank you for commenting.
