Having received a little tip-off about
these from the lovely Fleur de Force, I couldn’t help myself buying a couple of
these candles to try. WoodWick Candles have a wooden wick (I state the obvious) so there is a sort of burning, occasionally crackling sound
which I personally love, particularly at this time of year – cue super cosy
feeling! They also have a fab range of scents and I love the chunky glass and
wooden packaging, it feels luxe yet I can't say I'm wowed by the label design (but that's another story!).
For those who haven’t heard of Rituals,
it’s a fabulous luxury brand at a not too
luxury price. It’s very spa like and I suppose much of it follows a very
spiritual vibe but I can’t really say I subscribe to all that jazz.
Nonetheless, all the products I have tried so far are beautiful and yet I find
that it’s not a very well known brand at all and it does surprise me. I’d say
it really focuses on body care and skincare, though it also does makeup, which
I can’t say I’ve tried. We were lucky enough to get a Rituals store
in York where the staff are lovely and so helpful without being invasive,
whereas I know in other places the stores are really lacking and their products
are often stuffed in the corner of House of Fraser (I know they are in Leeds)
without the merest hint of a Sales Advisor about. Such an incredible shame.
