Phew – what
a scorcher! Not something I thought I’d be saying in mid April. The weather has
been unseasonably warm – actually hot in a lot of parts of the UK. So with
Easter and early spring but a distant memory, things are heading towards a
decidedly early summer feel. So what about those Yankee Candles…
Well,
accompanying us through the week were the delicious notes of Fruit Salad in
melt form. This lovely fruity cocktail has a tang to it and it is always
enjoyable for warmer weather.
Lovely Kiku
was burned on Tuesday night. It has a very sweet powdery aroma and is nice on a
spring evening.
Red
Raspberry was next with its ever so slightly tart Raspberry aroma. A nice
fruity treat!
Midnight
Oasis followed and I just adore this scent. Its exotic, aftershavey aroma makes
it like a softer version of Midsummer’s Night and it is wonderful to burn
during the evening when it creates a great atmosphere.
The weekend
kicked off on Friday with a first burn of Country Heather. This is a nice
floral fragrance that I think suits all seasons (except perhaps winter). It has
that lovely bright meadow feel to it that you get with Yankee’s Loves Me Loves
Me Not. It kind of does capture the atmosphere of heather in the Scottish
Highlands on a windy, aromatic day. A nice strong throw, what’s not to love?!
Tropical
Fruit followed and it is another fruit medley, but it couldn’t be more
different to Fruit Salad. Tropical Fruit has a smoother sweetness to it,
delish!
Into
Saturday and the sun was still shining, so the sparkly verbena notes of Island
Spa were a lovely treat to start the day.
For the
evening the wonderful tubereuse filled aroma of Plumeria was a treat.
Into Sunday
with the lovely bittersweet Sicilian Lemon.
And a treat
to close the day with a first burn of Coconut & Vanilla Bean. My wife
absolutely raved about this one and adored it. For me it is very much like
Black Coconut but perhaps with a smoother finish courtesy of the vanilla. Very
enjoyable and good and strong!
And our TEAM YANKEE facebook group burn of the week, courtesy of Michael is this lovely killer wax pool in new release
Beach Holiday!
