YANKEE CANDLE MY FAVORITE THINGS - THE COMPLETE FRAGRANCE RANGE


Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

 
Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

 
Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

 

The My Favorite Things range from Yankee Candle has become very collectable – especially as the series was completed in 2013 with the release of Cream Colored Ponies in the USA.

Some of the candles have made their way to the UK market in the past, but they are now long gone and candles in the range become increasingly hard to find.

Released in large jars, tumblers, votives and even swirls – the popular My Favorite Things series will live long in the memories of Yankee Candle fans.

And who knows one day it might even get a re-release, how about it Yankee Candle?

So in order of appearance in the song, the complete range of eleven scents  is as follows :

 
Raindrops On Roses
 
 
Sheer beauty the pure, natural perfume of rich velvety rose petals showered with dew

 

Whiskers On Kittens

 

A sweet scent with a gentle nuzzle of sandalwood and vanilla musk

 

Bright Copper Kettles

 

Whistling warming spices aglow, including cinnamon bark, clove buds, allspice and nutmeg.

 
I have this one. It is very much like Home Sweet Home or other strong Yankee  cinnamon scents but with a dash of ginger.

 

Warm Woolen Mittens
 

 

Just cleaned and warmed by the stove, a cozy scent with notes of lemon, apple, lily and musk.

 

Brown Paper Packages
 

 

A fresh powder scent with zest and a touch of spice

 
I have this one too and it’s just like Baby Powder but with a dusting in spice which makes it amazing!!

 

Cream Colored Ponies

 

Delicious sugar cookie dreams ride on the scent of creamy, buttery-rich vanilla icing

 

Crisp Apple Strudel

 

An Austrian favorite, golden and sugared on the outside, tart apples and brown sugar on the inside

 

Schnitzel With Noodles

 

So warm and comforting . . . the aroma of rich, creamy noodles seasoned with herbs and cracked black peppercorns

My latest addition in the series, Schnitzel With Noodles is a completely unique Yankee Candle scent. It smells like peppery pancakes with a hint of lemon.

 

Moon On Their Wings

 

The warm glow of night air, a tranquil blend of bergamot pepper, dray sage and a touch of cedar

 
Blue Satin Sashes

 
Elegantly pretty, lovely lavender and rosemary with notes of citrus, jasmine and soft woods.

I have this lovely fragrance which has a bright, clean, zesty feel and evokes thoughts of freshly washed sheets hung outside to dry.

 

Silver White Winters

 

Like an Alpine forest blanketed in snow . . . the crisp, fresh scent of spruce, pine, balsam and cedarwood.
