Neom Organics Happiness Candles

What does happiness smell like to you? To Neom, happiness smells of a fresh spring day; green grass, bitter orange blossom and bright yellow mimosa flowers heralding the end of winter.  Neom has captured all of these scents and blended them together in the new Happiness candles. These fragrances combine with a touch of lemon to make a fresh, green floral that isn't too feminine or heady; it's perfectly suited for fragrancing any room of the house, particularly at this time of year when a fresher scent seems more appropriate. It's more floral and less herby than Refresh, but if you enjoy Refresh (it's my favourite kitchen candle) you may also like Happiness.

I was initially confused by the reference to 'natural fresh grass notes' because as far as I was aware, it isn't possible to extract essential oil or an absolute from grass. The Neom blog explains that this note is actually extracted from peppermint stalk, for any natural fragrance buffs out there who were also wondering about it.

Like the Neom candles I've reviewed previously, Happiness burns cleanly and evenly. It is available as a 3-wick Home candle for £37.50 and a smaller Travel candle for £13, from www.neomorganics.com.

I know the packaging isn't the most important thing, but I do like the redesign of the box the candle comes in, both to show the picture of one of the main fragrance ingredients (in this case the bitter orange blossom) and to have the drop down side.
