MY YANKEE CANDLE DIARY – PINK LADY SLIPPER, BEACH ESCAPE, LEMON LAVENDER, WILD PASSION FRUIT and more! (w/e 3rd August)


Another hot week, so full on summer burns continue in our Yankee Candle world. Promised rain was barely a shower in my part of the world, so it was a case of enjoy the fragrances, I guess the heat won’t last forever!

We started the week with a burn of perhaps the most refreshing Yankee Candle fragrance of all, the lovely Lemon Lavender. A little easier to burn, as I found out over the weekend that I had won a large jar of Lemon Lavender  in one of the fabulous competitions run by the lovely folk at Stanley Lodge Farm!
 
 
The sweet, yet peppery fruit notes of Wild Passion Fruit came next – every time we use this fragrance we like it more.

 

And then midweek, it was the welcome return of Beach Wood. It is a very light fragrance, so choose your burn location carefully, but I got enough of its deliciously oily uniqueness to enjoy it. (I have a positive article on the lighter Yankee Candle scents coming soon).
 

We promised to treat ourselves to some rare burns from the ‘beachside’ collection during the peak of summer, so the first was Beach Escape. To me Beach Escape is like a very strong Sun and Sand and it is really lovely. Totally reminds me of being on a sandy beach.
 

 
 
Seeing in the weekend I needed a pick me up after a long week’s commuting. The lovely delicate perfumed notes of Pink Lady Slipper suited perfectly and gently restored my equilibrium!
 


 
Citrus Tango was used on Saturday once again, this has become a firm favourite from the summer release.




Onto Sunday morning and I started the day with the lovely powdery pure melon aroma of Honeydew Melon. It’s another fragrance that gives a true ‘refreshed’ feel to your living space.

 
Sunday afternoon and evening another treat from the ‘beachside’ collection with Beach Blue. One of the strongest, most salty, spa crystal like fragrances Yankee Candle have ever done. It is a real treat.
