It is truly amazing how certain smells can trigger fabulous memories or transport you to a glorious spot. Its even better when you walk through your front door and those are things you first encounter. A couple weeks ago BzzAgent gave me the opportunity to participate in a new Glade campaign and try out their Glade Expressions(R) Collection. I of course was thrilled at this since I'm always burning candles and using plug ins in my house to transform it from just plain house smell to something wonderful. Please don't think that plain house smell is bad... its just not anything to rave about. So after letting BzzAgent know I'd love to participate in this campaign I had to wait a couple weeks to receive my BzzKit which included a coupon for a free Glade Expressions Mist Fragrance and a Glade Expressions Oil Diffuser.
As soon as I got my Bzzkit I drove into town, a mighty 120 miles away and went to my "local" Walmart to pick out my new Glade gear. I was so excited to try out some new fragrances but also wanted to pick something that I new I would really love. I'm a sucker for anything apple so I got the Oil Diffuser with Glade's new Fuji Apple & Cardamom fragrance. Then in the Mist I picked the Pineapple & Mangosteen fragrance. I also bought that one in the oil too so I could trade out my oil diffuser. Thought I would mix it up a bit.
So with my new Glade products in tow I made my way back home as quickly as possible to try it out. OH MY GOODNESS was I so happy. I first tried the Pineapple one and was quickly transported to a tropical paradise. It is fruity, sweet and has a nice underlying coconut fragrance to it that made me think of laying on a beach with a pina colada in my hand (not a bad thought). I loved how when I'd step out of my house for a while and come back in after a few hours how I was greeted with this fragrance but not overwhelmed by it at all. When it says diffuse it means it! The fragrances just subtly floats around the house without being overpowering or thick. I also loved that the oil diffuser was stylishly made... kind of funky and Asian without being any kind of eyesore. Right now I'm using the Fuji Apple & Cardamom oil and love it even more because the weather around here has definitely turned to something very fall and these are the kinds of smells I associate with the season. Again its sweet and a little spicy which makes me think of spiced apples at Thanksgiving or homemade mulled cider. When I come in from the cold the fragrance warms me up and takes me back to my childhood.
I have yet to try my Pineapple & Mangosteen mist yet because I've been so enthralled with my diffuser but I'll definitely let you know what I think about it. I know I already love the smell so I'm sure it will be a positive experience. So if you guys love having your house smell great (and really who doesn't want that) be sure to try out Glades Expression Collection. There are several other fragrances to choose from and I know you'd find one to fit your particular style just as I did. Be sure to check out my facebook page because I posted a $2 off coupon for the mist and $4 off coupon for the oil diffuser. Just love passing on the savings to you guys.
