Holiday park scented candles capture nation's favourite seaside smells

Holiday centre operator Parkdean Resorts has released the world's first collection of limited edition candles that smell exactly like the nation’s favourite seaside destinations. Bringing the nostalgic fragrance of the Great British Staycation into the nation's living rooms, each candle perfectly captures the scents of favourite destinations.

The collection of 10 seaside aromas feature iconic coastal foods and beach destinations that encapsulate everything from shorefront favourites like Cornish pasties and fish and chips to Blackpool Beach, bringing a little piece of holiday magic back home.

It also includes fragrances to remind holidaymakers of popular resorts like Great Yarmouth, Scarborough and Clacton-on-Sea. The collection also features aromas of an ice cream van, pick ’n’ mix, candy floss and an amusement arcade. Here are some of the most popular:
