MY YANKEE CANDLE DIARY – STORM WATCH, AUTUMN WREATH, VANILLA SATIN, CANDY CORN and more! (w.e. 19th October)

Another week of enjoying luxurious Yankee Candle autumn treats. It really is the time of year when Yankee Candles come into their own for me.

Melting Farmer’s Market started the week, a lovely blend of cinnamon and fruit.

Vanilla Satin is always a pleasure to burn. This vanilla fragrance has a real sense of indulgence – it just feels like a million dollars!
 



Autumn Wreath is obviously perfect for the time of year. Again it is cinnamon and fruits but also green leafy notes are detectable. Very comforting.
 
 

Candy Corn and Halloween have become synonymous to me. Its butterscotchy sweet flavour is the perfect treat (with no tricks!).
 
 


First ever burn of Storm Watch on Saturday morning. Tops of my wants list for ages I was so pleased to get hold of a couple of jars a few months ago. Not quite what you’d expect as Storm Watch is quite a strong, sharp floral with dashes of ‘spritz’ as well. It gives a real sense of anticipation when burning it. Foliage tends to smell quite strongly before a storm and I really enjoyed my first burn of it. A nice, bold fragrance.
 


Some Willow Breeze tea lights followed to make bath time a treat! It’s very spa like.
 
Another first burn on Saturday evening with brand new scent Wild Fig. This is such a true to life fragrance – well done Yankee Candle! It is literally like walking into a kitchen full of chopped up figs – really a lovely scent.
 
 


Camomile Tea gently eased Sunday in. It is such a morning fragrance. Just like a cup of calming tea with a large spoonful of honey stirred in.
 
 

To close the week, the lovely warming marshmallowness of Fireside Treats. This fragrance is lovely and strong now, hard to believe we struggled with it at first. Just goes to show, don’t give up on your jars if you hit a light or dry patch.
 
 
 
 
And from Team Yankee Global Facebook last week, it has to be another ‘anicandle’ photo. This one is from Anth of his (self described!) grumpy cat with Lavender Vanilla.
