I use all sorts of kids factor 30 suncreams and have not burnt. I burn very easilyI agree SF, we use the Lacura range sun protection from Aldi, and their spf 50 for kids sensitive skin, both £1.99. Neither the grown ups or the grankdiddies have ever burned with it. I agree all this "I want you" is a load of rubbish because if she really wants you to protect yourself, the price wouldn't be so expensive. We've just got back from a day out and again, with Lacura, no burning so like everything else, she likes to convince you that expensive is better, it isn't.

So I picked up my TSV trio yesterday and am very happy indeed - the Wildflower one is probably my least favourite as heady florals are not my thing but it does still smell lovely.
However, Sea Air and Peaches n Cream are gorgeous - Sea Air is a fresher version of Cottage Breeze (my all-time fave) and Peaches n Cream reminds me of Goose Creek's Georgia Peach; a softer peach smell without that sticky, cloying note that so many peachy candles seem to have.
I won't be burning any of them for a while but I'm very pleased I bought this TSV.
Mine have just arrived and I'm a bit underwhelmed, sadly. I don't know what I was expecting because the descriptions are pretty accurate, as are yours, but I think I was remembering the old excitement I used to get when new candles arrived and maybe the novelty has well and truly worn off.
I particularly dislike Wildflower Blooms - far too heady/sickly for me. Some will love it though. Yes, Peaches & Cream is rather nice and not too foodie. The blue one (Life's a Breeze, you mean) is a bit generic "sea", like Riviera Escape, so I can't get that excited.
What a miserable old bag I am today!
Awww AndiK, I'm so disappointed for you - I still get that tinge of excitement when new candles arrive but it does rather sound like your YC love affair is well and truly on the wane.
Certainly none of the trio is anything to rave about, but let's hope you have a better experience as and when you burn them...or are you going to send them back/sell them?
Mixed reviews! That is a shame but maybe the burn will not be overwhelming. Funny you should mention Riviera Escape. I have been burning one of the melts and My Lord it was strong! I had to switch the warmer off early most nights. That is very unusual for me with a fresh or floral and it has been downgraded on my spreadsheet.

i ooommmed and aahhhed but the tsv was not talking /shouting to me
I need to borrow your earplugs to avoid succumbing in future myself!
Maybe my "disappointment" this time is temporary.
