In
anticipation perhaps, I started the week with a lovely burn of Turquoise Sky.
Its sharp perfume notes and watery blue wax colour help transport you off to
the clear blue waters of a calm sea. Very relaxing and a great one for your
bathroom or a warm rainy day.
We gave Let
Freedom Ring another go after its poor first performance. It is very, very
light – one of the lightest Yankee fragrances I’ve come across – but – it does work
in the right environment. Left in a cool, shaded room before we watched a movie, its
lovely light woodsy, creamy notes did come through.
Fireside
Treats is delightful on a warm summer night. Its marshmallow sweetness is
offset by a light smoky tone.
A Meadow
Showers melt kicked off a cloudy Saturday morning and this scent takes me back
to our Yankee Candle Garden Party from a few weeks ago. I had it on all day and
this scent will forever remind me of that special day
Garden
Hideaway followed and it is the scent of summer. Always a favourite. It was
great to burn while I spent the afternoon on the PC launching the new Team Yankee Global Facebook group.
Saturday
evening saw the first burn of Honey Glow from the new Yankee Candle Indian
Summer range. It is perfect for a warm night. At first its honey note was
prevalent but as the burn went on a lovely perfumed undertone came through.
This new fragrance is a real winner – very pleasant indeed.
Into Sunday
and the delightful almost fizzy orange of Fruit Fusion. It is one of the very
best citrusy Yankee Candle fragrances. (Here
it is with our Christmas Yankee cupboard in the background).
This was
followed by a melt of Juicy Watermelon
(from an underperforming votive!). It has a nice, clean pure melon scent.
And finally
to wrap up the week, the decidedly tropical and very unusual Under The Palms.
There isn’t really another Yankee scent like this although it does have an
unripe coconut feel. This is blended with a creamy bitter sweetness, so it
gives an unusual but believable scent as to what it could be like lying Under
The Palms.
