Another two
week catch up and spring gets into its stride in southern England with a
typical mix of warm days and of course showery days too! So a chance to get a good mix of Yankee Candle
scents in.
Well
finally, we’ve finished our first large jar. Blissful Autumn has gone to Yankee
heaven, but the good news is we’ve got some more so watch out for that lovely
scent making a reappearance in the blog later in the year.
Vanilla
Cupcake always puts some warmth into colder evenings with its deliciously
warming cakey notes.
Was a bit
disappointed in Wedding Day this time around. I only picked up hints of its
elegant floral bouquet. Hopefully I’ll get a nice strong throw of scent next
time – always seems to be the way after a disappointing burn.
Fresh Cut
Roses with its youthful rose aroma was a good choice as the first rosebuds
begin to appear in the garden.
Tiki Bar
arrived broken from my recent USA order. With a lot of mess and anguish we
managed to chunk it up and fill the empty Blissful Autumn jar! As I had a
replacement for the broken one, we were allowed a treat of burning this messy
second one. Tiki Bar is full on pineapple creaminess! It is really lovely and
totally reminds me of Pineapple mivvi ice lollies. (See my video review of this
whole collection HERE).
Frankincense
is such a delicious incensey aroma and a treat for any evening. Always gives an
exotic, mystical feel when burned.
Spring has
only just arrived and the lilac blooms are already disappearing, though when
this picture was taken a week ago they were still in the background. The
getting harder to find Lilac Blossoms is always the perfect accompaniment. Possibly
Yankee Candle’s most authentic fragrance ever?
River Valley
is perfect for any fresh, rainy day – that is just what the aroma brings to
mind.
Sandalwood
Vanilla is another scent that makes you think ‘luxury’. Its oily, vanilla notes
give off a rich woodsy perfume.
Sunny days,
warmer evenings and Pineapple Cilantro. This slightly sharper pineapple aroma
is just delicious.
Country
Heather has a good strong, fresh floral feel to it and goes really well at this
time of year.
Wild Passion
Fruit is always a favourite. It is a less sweet, fruity fragrance that almost
has a powdery pepperiness to it.
Garden
Hideaway is always such a delight with a garden in full growing mode around
you. Even if you don’t have a garden, you can close your eyes and the aroma
will transport you.
Mango Peach
Salsa I haven’t used for a while. It is a lovely, fairly soft blend of mango
and peach.
Champaca
Blossom for me is one of the most authentic florals Yankee Candle do. It gives
that real true to life slight bitterness that you can get with certain flowers.
I love it.
Back soon
with more!
