I've been in Australia for nearly 20 years and the only time I get homesick at all is at Christmas time. These candles are the most incredible cure for this. The only candles that truly smell like the Christmases from my childhood. UK Christmas yesteryear consisted of cold noses, a real pine tree and an open coal fire. This candle somehow encapsulates all of that and I'm transported back to a time of eager anticipation for Santa, hot cocoa and mum whipping up a feast in the kitchen. By far and away the most magical candle to burn in December. 6 out of 5 stars every single time.
