Smells Wonderful!

bmorechick — Mon, 22 Dec 2025 01:19:29 GMT

So my last day at work was this past Thursday and I don't go back until 1/7...I have to get rid of a bunch of days or lose them. Anyway, I have a close coworker/friend who has worked with me for the past 40 years. We are the "fossils" at work, part of what we call the original crew. We exchange Xmas gifts every year - nothing big just something small. This year, she got me a Harry Slatkin reed diffuser and candle set. I don't ever remember having any candles from him but can I tell you the scent is AMAZING. It's called Lavendar Vanilla and I could smell it through the box. I rarely burn candles, typically using the wax melts but I will burn this one. The reed diffuser I put up on my third floor as it's the workout room and I think it would be nice to have a scent up there (although husband may disagree)😏

I'm curious as to how strong the diffuser will be - I already set it up tonight

@bmorechick enjoy your time off! I have been a Slatkin person for quite a while. I like diffusers for lots of reasons; bathrooms, laundry room, closets,etc. Just remember to flip them every week or so. The first time I use them, I flip them the first day and then weekly.

Great scent you have and my other favorite or favorites are his Limoncello Cupcake and the collaboration with Elton John.

Enjoy! And Merry Christmas.

@Seminole2 Oh OK thanks for the heads up! I will do that. You have a great Holiday season too 🎄

The scent on those I had was relatively mild.

@bmorechick

Nice gift!!!

I don't have any Slatkins but I do have a diffuser that I love in my bathroom, the Thymes brand in Frasier Fir smells amazing.

Enjoy your looong time off!

I am also know as the original crew at work and not many of us left. I am off until the 5th and I plan on enjoying every moment too. Enjoy your time off.

@Roscoe the Rascal YES! Enjoy the vacay! Not many left is so true - most have retired . But not the last few of us. We are in our 60's and 70's and actually, none of us are planning retirement soon. Our senior Psychologist just retired last year at 82!!

@GingerHead Thymes Frasier Fir is the best of the best. I keep a diffuser full all year long. Such a pure and non sickening scent. Merry Christmas!

@monicakm Girl I'm way ahead of you - I grab them everytime I go to Sams! 😉

@GingerHead Oh wow I will definitely try that! It smells good up in the workout room today! The scent hits you as soon as you get halfway up the stairs 😉

@monicakm Our Sams only carries the Unstoppables in one scent and it's in a turquoise lettered container. I buy the Downy Lavender because it's a bigger size and I'm running a laundromat over here so...and it smells amazing

@Seminole2

I agree, the perfect scent for all year round.

I have a diffuser of that in my bathroom right now and all year. It's actually pictured in my Christmas Photos that I posted if you saw those. haha

Merry Christmas!
