I needed something for the pooches. The fact that their humans would become slightly obsessed with it was a happy accident.

Even if you have never ordered a puppuccino in your life, this is one of the most delicious vanillas I have ever smelled. I blended two different fragrances until buttercream, creamed butter, caramel, honey, brown sugar and warm vanilla came together like a café treat piled high with whipped cream.

It is rich, creamy and mouthwatering. It is definitely sweet, but never cloying. A touch of chocolate and soft musk gives it enough warmth and depth to keep it smooth rather than sugary or synthetic.

The scent throw lands between Room Filling and Strong. It makes itself known, and there is a very good chance someone will wander in asking what smells so delicious.

A NOTE FOR PET PARENTS

Pet friendly does not mean pet operated. Always keep a burning candle away from curious paws, wagging tails and little noses. Burn it in a well ventilated room, never leave it unattended and make sure pets can move away from the fragrance if they choose.

Your dog may be the inspiration, but they are not qualified to handle the lighter.
