Hmmm ….. A Most Unusual Erm ….. Gift.

One of Darrell’s more unusual Christmas presents this year was a candle, but not just any sort of candle ……….

……. oh no, this was a “Turkey and Stuffing” scented candle, a reminiscent whiff and waft of a most splendid Christmas dinner no less ……

……. an unusual gift from Hugh, Darrell’s best friend, confidante and mentor of all things of a fragrant and flammable type nature.

Obviously, such a quirky and unusual present has aroused much curiosity and speculation Chez Towers……..

……… especially it’s surprising meld of fragrance, so after a week or so of simply looking and having the odd cheeky sniff ………

……. Darrell finally decided to put us all out of our misery and light it. Well fortunately, I have to say, the bouquet de roast turkey element of said blend wasn’t obviously noticeable, if at all, instead, in Darrell’s humble expert opinion, taking into consideration his acute olfactory senses,  it was the sage, thyme and rosemary with perhaps a hint of parsley that came to the fore.

With Nigel chipping in, that it was indeed a rather subtle and refined herby sort of infusion, juxtaposed to a full on, in your face onslaught of a turkey, pigs in blankets, sprouts, carrots, cabbage, cauliflower and peas sort of commingle, but also, as far away from “a Jo Malone” as you can possibly get!

What can I say? Except good grief, what on earth are they both like?
