We had the Voluspa Santiago Huckleberry candle in our shop for many years before I finally broke down and tried it. Year after year I continuously heard everyone rave about it. Even though Santiago Huckleberry is on of Voluspa's best-selling fragrances, I was reluctant to try it. To me, the cold throw on it came across as a jam smorgishborg that only Joey from Friends could enjoy. The thought of jam-overload scared me.
Finally, I had to try it. As the candle warmed, the fragrance opened up and revealed the most wonderful, warm scent. Notes of vanilla provided comfort and relaxation. The description doesn't list amber, but the scent was so warm and deep it comes across like warm, sweet amber. Truly lovely.
Voluspa Santiago Huckleberry is one of those unique fragrances that is loved year round. In the winter it's cozy. In the summer, it's full of fruity fun. On warm days, it pairs will with a Blackberry drink like this:
2 Parts Acai Berry Vodka
1 Part agave nectar
1 Part fresh squeezed lemon juice
Muddled blackberries
Shake and pour over ice
Santiago Huckleberry also layers well with the Crisp Champagne fragrance by Volupsa. How and when do you enjoy the Voluspa Santiago Huckleberry candle?

ReplyDeleteI have a web site where I give advise on penny stocks and stocks under five dollars. I have many years of experience with these type of stocks . If their is anyone that is interested in these type of stocks you can check out my web site by just clicking my name. I would like to comment about double digit inflation. I am very disturbed by the lack of progress on cutting the budget deficit. It will require large tax increases and budget cuts to bring the deficit under control. When nobody will buy the debt obligations of the united states than the buyer of last resort will emerge and who might be that buyer of last resort’ the government itself. in other words the massive money printing will have begun welcome weimar republic two thousand ?
ReplyDeleteThe soft fragrance can be so relaxing. And of course the Blackberry drink is just perfect for sipping!
ReplyDeleteRecently I just reading others blog at that time I just found this article. It is very much helpful to getting idea about blackberry drink 's ingredients. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for wonderful article post. One of the best blog post I read in recent past.
ReplyDeleteI read about this article 's some of the summery in one magazine but you shared a brief information with us. I can 't thank you enough for sharing it.
ReplyDeleteI love that Voluspa comes with a cover. Sometimes I want to use another fragranced candle, and it makes it possible to not have "sensory interference" with 2 opposing scents!!
ReplyDeleteThis pairing sounds lovely! Santiago Huckleberry is one of my all-time favorite scents! I can't get enough of it. It blends beautifully with so many different fragrances. I had it burning with Macaron once and it was incredibly comforting and decadent. Love this scent!

ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favorite scents from Voluspa, or any other brand for that matter. It's a happy and uplifting smell and I just love it!
ReplyDeleteI'm a photographer and work from home, and lighting it in my office always brightens my day!!
Good call on layering Santiago Huckleberry with Crisp Champagne. I'll bet that really brings out the warm and comforting vanilla notes. I agree—the cold throw was very jammy to me too. But it does have a warm side to the fragrance that is appealing for everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis might sound really strange but I was actually burning one of my many stocked up yet sadly retired Voluspa Red Amber Incense and I had a Santiago Huckleberry burning in the other room and despite how different the scents are they really worked well together. The sweetness of the berry mingling with the woodsy, red amber incense created this intense atmosphere in my house. I was surprised at how nicely they came together. Almost like old friends reuniting. Very cool.
