One of my favourite scents is Jo Malone Earl Grey and Cucumber, I adore it but I often wish they made the matching candle so my house can smell lovely too. It's a little expensive to be spritzing cologne all around your home though.

Flamingo candles have a huge range of cute, scented candles housed in glass jars. I have several already (mostly green, I seem to have a subconscious thing for green candles).As part of their High Tea collection they have  have an Earl Grey and Cucumber scent so I decided to give it a go. I'm very pleased I did as it smells near identical.

The Flamingo Earl Grey and Cucumber High Tea Candle (£11.00 from Flamingo Gifts) has the same distinctive citrus scent as Jo Malone however it is a little lighter.  Other notes include tea leaves, cardamom, coriander, lemon, mandarin, amber and of course cucumber.

It is a beautiful scent that is perfect for burning at the start of a new year. It fills the room well and the scent lingers for a long time. The burn time is around 50 hours and the candles are made from soybean wax and natural cotton wicks.

You can buy Flamingo Candles from Flamingo Gifts, they have a wide range of candles as well as other gifts and homeware.
