It's a Pumpkin Addiction!

One of my worst addictions is Pumpkin fragrances! I have so many I even don't know which ones to choose in the Fall.

Pumpkin Spice - A warm spicy pumpkin-clove type with a cinnamon top note, a fruity vegetal pumpkin middle note and a sweet sugary vanilla base note.


Pumpkin Pie - Fresh baked pumpkin pie baked with cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and ginger. This is one of my staples in my living room year-round. It has a touch of caramel that just makes it delectable. It does have a touch of “sweet” so if you don’t like a sweet pumpkin, try Pumpkin Thyme or Pumpkin Souffle which are both fantastic!

Gingerbread Pumpkin - A scrumptious blend of sweet and spicy gingerbread infused with creamy pumpkin!

And....

Butternut Pumpkin - A blend of butternut squash, pumpkin puree, cinnamon, clove and vanilla.

Caramel Pumpkin Bliss - Creamy pumpkin pie infused with creamy caramel to create a sweet fragrance that makes home a place you never want to leave.

Pumpkin Cake - My obsession with Pumpkin continues! Warm pumpkin cake frosted with thick, creamy white buttercream frosting. Definitely one of a kind!

Pumpkin Maple Pecan (NEW!) - Love this addition! This new blend of sweet pumpkin and nutty vanilla is a scrumptious sweet blend that fills the room with mmmmm! It's like being in a candy shop with warm pumpkin pie.

Pumpkin Spice Latte (NEW!) - A rich blend of coffee and pumpkin spices make this a rich delcious aroma great for fall.

Pumpkin Thyme - A Pumpkin custard with notes of Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Clove and Ginger.

Vanilla Hazelnut Pumpkin - This wonderful fragrance takes soothing vanilla and hazelnut and spikes it with scrumptious pumpkin and spices to make a blend that says "you're home."

Vanilla Pumpkin Spice - Vanilla bouquet with buttery nut nuances with spicy pumpkin.

New Additions to My Shop!

Today, I added two of my favorite Premium 26 oz Triple Layer Soy Jars AND my new gift boxed holiday items to my Etsy shop - http://blisscandles.etsy.com/!

The first Premium 26 oz Jar, my Apple Fragrance jar, contains Hot Apple Strudel, Cozy Home, and Spiced Apple Pecan.

The second Premium 26 oz jar, my yummy Spice/Fall jar, contains Carrot Cake, Harvest, and Cinnamon Spice.

You just can't beat these wonderful jars. You get three of my most popular and scrumptious fragrances in one jar and you get the delicious fragrance when the layers blend - now that is true Bliss! And the price of the jar, even with shipping, is inexpensive compared to what you would pay for separate jars.

The other item I am so excited about is my new gift boxed holiday items. I found these beautiful boxes through one of my suppliers and just had to have them for the busy holiday season! One box fits a single Premium 10 oz Jar while the other fits two. You can either have the boxed items shipped to you or right to your gift recipient - what could be easier?

Be sure to stop by and get an early start on that Christmas shopping before the rush!
