Parks London Cedarwood + Orange Spice Collection

At this time of year, it is fair to say some of the most beautifully scented candles are on sale and this is true of Parks London with their Cedarwood + Orange Spice Collection, which I am lucky enough to have tried.

Carol Symons founded Parks in 1989, at a time when the home fragrance industry only made scented candles with paraffin. Carols’ commitment to 100% natural wax led Parks to build the manufacturing facilities and develop the techniques they needed for naturals to outperform paraffin.  Still a family business, Parks has become the respected expert in manufacturing the highest quality, 100% natural wax candles and alcohol-free diffusers. 

The new Parks HOME collection is described as being "designed to re-define high quality home fragrance at an accessible price point" and each product contains alcohol-free diffusers, 100% sustainable natural wax, and Coreless CleanBurn™ technology. The new HOME Collection is guaranteed to have something for everyone; choose between Jasmine & Musk, Lemon Verbena, Cedarwood & Orange Spice, Wild Rosemary & Bergamot, and many, many more.

The Cedarwood & Orange Spice is the perfect scent for this time of year with its woody, spicy and sweet aroma which creates a warm scent.  I have both the candle (£25) and the accompanying Reed Diffuser (£25) which together are quite the force.

The candle, which has a burn time of around 40 hours, is made from 100% natural wax and is presented in a luxurious glass jar with a minimalist label, beautifully presented and it would make the most lovely gift. 

Once it is lit, the scent of  spicy clove, cinnamon, and sweet orange alongside the subtle richness of cedar and a few minutes after being alight, those scents begin to fill the room, bringing with it a warmness.  As soon as the candle is extinguished, that scent does linger for quite some time.

The  Cedarwood & Orange Spice Diffuser, which is 100ml should last between 4-6 weeks and it took has that same scent the of the candle, with the subtlety of cedar alongside spicy clove, cinnamon and sweet orange. 

It is 100% alcohol free and as soon as the reeds are in use, the scent comes to life whether or not it is used within the same room as the candle, it is just a wonderful scent, both complimenting one another.

The HOME collection by Parks is on sale now and with prices from £25, you are spoilt for choice as to which collection to try first.
