After a few weeks away, it was great to have Yankee
Candle back on TV at QVC with a late night broadcast featuring Jill Franks and
Yankee Candle Brand Ambassador Rosa Smith.
The show
brought a lot of the recent popular offerings back to screen with a few new
products as well - something for everyone and as usual with Jill and Rosa
paired together, a fun time was assured!
Kicking off
with a ‘one time only’ special offer of a multi votive holder with 20 Yankee
samplers was great and I was glad to hear Rosa’s a bit of a traditionalist like
me in that she’d burn all the same fragrance in the different holders (none of
this mixology lark!!). Rosa noted she’s less than two months away from her
wedding (how exciting!) and that if she hadn’t sorted her table displays
already – this product would have been a great option.
The USA
imported Lavender jars were brought to screen again and Rosa noted the
difference over the more widely available French Lavender fragrance with this being
more ‘herbal and green’ which gives it a bracing feel.
Two large
jars with a wick trimmer was the cue for much hilarity as Jill went into
overdrive about how she had used scissors to trim the wicks on her candles to
this point. She seemed genuinely impressed and I must admit a wick trimmer is
now on my shopping list to replace the nail clippers I use (I know, I know….).
The jars in the collection were Midnight Jasmine and White Gardenia, the latter
of which Rosa noted was ‘gentle, soft and feminine’ and reminiscent of Parisian
chic. I like it!
A new
selection of 6 small treasure jars featured the recently retired Coastal Waters
and Garden Hideaway, along with Loves Me Loves Me Not. Rosa alluded to the
spring like feel of these scents with Garden Hideaway being like dew collecting
on the grass with the scent of spring flowers around and she noted Coastal
Waters was like like a bright, fresh walk along the beach.
QVC's new small jar collection
The
descriptions of the scents are particularly useful, so I always try to include
a few in the write ups on here. Not just because it is not always easy for
everyone to get to a shop that sells Yankee Candle (so you need good
descriptions if buying blind via QVC or other internet shops), but also because
Rosa and Steven Corfield have sold me on many of the scents – thanks to their
evocative descriptions and stories! Hence the proverb … a lovely turn of phrase
can leave you lighter in the pocket! Only kidding – and I hope I come up with a
few tempting descriptions in my blogs as well!! We all love Yankee…
Anyway back
to the show and the popular collection of 4 fresh medium jars was on offer featuring
Soft Blanket, Clean Cotton , Fluffy Towels and Baby Powder. Rosa noted these
were for any room, any time and all year. I get more tempted by these
personally untried fragrances as time goes on.
A collection
of 2 floral large jars was also available featuring the lovely Lilac Blossoms
and also Midnight Jasmine. Rosa noted that Midnight Jasmine is *that* holiday
fragrance. It reminds you of European and North African holidays and is perfect
for this time of year with its hot, balmy nights.
On that
delicious note I had to head to slumberland, but the good news is that Rosa is
back this Wednesday 14th at 3pm for another 1 hour show. See you then!
Also soon on QVC - Yankee Candle TSV - 26th August
