I was very pleased that Yankee Candle invited me to the Spring Fair trade show so that I could report back via my blog on what's coming to Yankee Candle in 2019!
I had a very exciting day and got to have a sniff (again and again!) of many of the forthcoming fragrances for 2019 as well as a look at other new products and accessories that Yankee Candle are releasing.
Let's start with the display itself. It was a huge display area and was like walking into the biggest and most exciting Yankee Candle shop that you can imagine!
Here's an overview of what I saw roughly in the order the products are likely to be released :
First up are two brand new scents for Easter - Rainbow Shake and Easter Basket. These were both delicious! Easter Basket will surprise a few people as it has a dewy grass aroma mixed in with its sweet delights.
Coming very soon is part two of the Sunday Brunch collection with three refreshing scents - a reissue for Honey Lavender Gelato and two brand new scents, White Strawberry Bellini and Grilled Peaches. Here is the trio with a selection of new Yankee Candle gift sets!
A distant look at some of the accessories coming this year....
..and an absolutely scentsational display of Yankee Candle jars!
Two new flameless collections will launch this year, a pre-fragranced reed diffuser - using new technology with no oils.
..and for those who prefer the more traditional reed diffuser, a brand new stylish design with a wooden top and decorative glass vessel.
Heading into autumn and I got to try the brand new Farmer's Market collection for the first time. It's my favourite season and these scents are definitely a real celebration of all things autumn! Dried Lavender and Oak is my initial favourite as it has a real warming touch mixed with the freshness of lavender. The labels for this collection are just beautiful and I think we may see more in this style in future!
Four new elevation scents will released for autumn and christmas and pumpkin lovers rejoice -Tonka Bean and Pumpkin is heavenly!
Then what fun it was to jump back into Christmas! Yankee's theme for Christmas 2019 is Alpine Christmas and this is just one of the beautiful displays produced to highlight the range for the show.
Here's a peek inside a secret christmas display with opening doors that reveal beautiful advent calendars and gift sets due for Christmas 2019.
The Christmas scents are as lovely as you would expect, keep a special eye out for the stunning Candlelit Cabin! I wasn't sure about these special labels at first (exclusive to this collection) but I am warming to the alpine theme and the idea of a heading off to a snow-frosted mountain retreat.
After walking around and around this scent paradise it was time to leave for home, but not before I bumped into the lovely Cait from Yankee QVC! I'm sure a lot of these Yankee goodies will be appearing on our Yankee Candle TV shows on QVC throughout the year.
I will be updating everything on my one page Yankee Candle 2019 releases very soon with details of all the confirmed releases plus my first thoughts on the autumn, Christmas and new elevation scents.
