AIR WICK - New Life Scents Review

Air Wick kindly sent me an exclusive hamper so I could be one of the first to try their new Fragrance Collection - Life Scents and what a beautifully packaged hamper it was!


A sturdy hat box, tied in gold net ribbon

Inside was lined with a black silky material with two layers of samples
The first package was an Automatic Spray Starter Kit in Lush Hideaway. A black plastic casing holds the Lush Hideaway spray can, which was very easy to fit and slid straight into the holder. After the supplied batteries were inserted it was ready to go and automatically sprayed approximately 30 seconds after being switched on. The round dial at the back has 3 settings - the first setting sprays about every 30 minutes and the third around every 10 minutes.

Lush Hideaway is a delightful fragrance with alternating berry, fresh mint and coconut water scents and certainly lived up to its name. It reminded me of walking through a warm tropical forest glade, picturing a waterfall surrounded by coconut trees.
I loved this scent in my lounge and the spray device fitted in well. We live in a bungalow and I could therefore smell this when I woke up in bed which was very pleasant.

The next spray I tried was Turquoise Oasis - a blend of drift wood, sea spray and warm breeze scents. This was by far my favourite, reminding me of holidays by the sea. 

Each can lasts approximately 60 days on the minimum setting and the fragrances are constantly changing.


 

The next package was the Double Plug-in and Summer Delights Fragrance Refill. The glass container was very easy to fit, just by unscrewing the top and pushing up into the plug-in. The amount of fragrance dispersed is controlled by a double dial on top, according to preference. As it is rather large I was concerned it would hide the socket switch when plugged in but it was still easily accessible.
Once in place and switched on, it immediately emitted a very sweet pungent smell. The Summer Delights fragrance is described as alternating white flowers, melon and vanilla orchid scents. To be honest I found this a little overpowering in the kitchen, although it would mask any strong cooking smells. It had a very strong sweet vanilla scent and my son remarked it smelled like a  strong version of a well known confectionery.

 

I placed the Reed Diffuser with the Summer Delights fragrance in my bathroom. Easily set up by punching out the centre in the top of the bottle and placing the reeds inside. Again a very pungent sweet smell filled the air, only reminding me of sweets and not the white flowers, melon and vanilla orchid as described.
This pack lasts up to 4 weeks.

        

There is also another scent belonging to the collection - Mystical Garden - with alternating wild strawberry, peony and sweet nectar scents but I did not have a sample of this.

I was delighted to try these new multi-layered fragrances and think the Turquoise Oasis and Lush Hideaway are fabulous . They create a constant refreshing fragrance and I would thoroughly recommend
However the sweet pungent smell of Summer Delights was not to my personal liking.
