IKEA SPRING/SUMMER CANDLE COLLECTION

Scented candles is definitely one of the most useless thing in the world, but yet one of the most desirable: having your room to smell nice, with a pretty candle burning in the background is one of the little pleasures of life.



Unluckily, candles can be very expensive, and even though Jo Malone and Yankee Candles are very tempting, with their cute names and pretty jars, I can't see myself spending 40€ on something I'll have to burn.
This is why Ikea candles are just the best: simple, cheap, effective, they make your room smell amazing without the scent of burnt bills floating in the air.

This season Ikea brought out two new types of candles: Sinnlig, which has replaced Tindra and which I haven't purchased, and Mattfull, that's a much smaller candle that comes in only one scent and retails for 0,99€. The scent is fresh and pure, I'd say, almost soapy, and makes me think of open windows and lazy summer afternoons.

Talking instead of old flames (see what I did there?) Florera gets all summery with three new scents: a yellow one, that's super fruity, and smells exactly like a pineapple cocktail, a blue one, aka my favorite one, fresh and cologny that smells like you'd imagined the picture of a floating pair of jeans against the sea would smell, and a white one, which I don't have, but should be spa salt scented.

Now, before you shut this all down and run to your nearest Ikea to build up on candles, can we just talk about how their scents don't have names but just pictures that aren't even that clear but in a weird way summarize perfectly the smell?
Just another example of swedish genius, I guess.
