The
beautiful spring weather has me opening windows and dreaming of the weekend on
this fine May morning. I love this time year when the landscape is dotted
with green fields and blooms around every corner. I’m ready for a long Sunday
drive where I can feel fresh air on my face and the heavenly springtime scent
surrounds me. Do you love spring drives too? Then this candle from Goose Creek
Candles just may be the perfect candle for you! I'm an ambassador with Goose Creek this year, so to learn more about the company, please read my introductory post here.
As a brand ambassador, I received
a complimentary Sunday Drive jar candle from Goose Creek Candles to facilitate
today’s post. All opinions and love of
scented candles are my own.
Meet Sunday Drive Candle:
I selected
this candle because Goose Creek Candles does a fantastic job with their product
description. For Sunday Drive they said this about this fragrance: “Windows down, hair is blowing as you cruise
down the backroads without a care in the world.”
Doesn’t that
sound lovely? It evokes memories of being a child in the backseat of the family
car heading to my Grandparents house on a spring Sunday afternoon. I couldn’t
wait to play in my grandma’s flowers! In fact, I'm sure your Mom and Grandma would love to receive this candle for Mother's Day.

Sunday Drive Candle prominent
scent notes:
- Top: Cactus Flower, Soft Raspberry
- Mid: Sparkling Lemon, Jasmine
- Base: Sun-Kissed Coconut, Vanilla
My Thoughts:
Pros:
I have been enjoying this candle's unlit scent for two weeks
now. I so enjoy walking past a candle sitting on a shelf and picking up certain
scent profiles. While the top note of Cactus Flower truly is very prominent; I
detect more notes of Jasmine and Vanilla when I smell the unlit candle.
Once the candle is lit and allowed to burn for a few
minutes, the heady scent of Jasmine mixes with raspberry and coconut
beautifully. I don’t pick up on the lemon or cactus flower much, but perhaps it
needs to burn longer. I do like how
clean the candle burns and how quickly you can smell it after lighting it. I love that Goose Creek Candles are made in
America, just a state away in Kentucky and that they are affordable. This large
jar candle is $12.99 right now.
Cons:
The only problem with Sunday Drive is it’s a very sweet
scented candle, burning just a little too sweet for my taste. I let it burn for
another five minutes and left the room the candle was burning in but wound up
blowing it out, it was that sweet. I may not have enjoyed that level of
sweetness, however, my daughter did. She came out of her room to exclaim she
LOVED this candles scent profile so it has found its place in our home. I will
have to get my need for all the Sunday drive scents fulfilled by hopping in the
car and rolling down the windows. Hopefully, we will do that this weekend.
The Take Away:
This is the second candle I’ve received as a Goose Creek Candles brand ambassador and while Sunday Drive wasn’t a perfect match for me, it was
for my daughter. If you love sweetly floral scented candles that can fill the
whole house with scent, this one is for you. You can learn more about Sunday
Drive, jar candles and wax melts here
at Goose Creek’s site. While there, you can also shop their complete line of
new spring scents and Mother's Day gifts. You just might find yourself drawn to a certain candle
description just like I was with Sunday Drive. Now I’m intrigued with the
description of their Orange Grove Tree candle. Perhaps I’ll try that one next.
