Tis the
season to be jolly and what better way to enjoy the festive season than with
some fantastic Yankee Candles and their amazing true-to-life scents!
I’m very
excited this year as it is my first proper Yankee Candle Christmas, so to help build
some excitement and perhaps guide you to an informed purchase, here are my thoughts
on 10 fantastic Christmas candles – all available at the moment!
APPLE AND
PINE NEEDLE
Apple And
Pine Needle is one of the strongest fragranced Christmas candles you can get.
If you want a full on, deep pine needle scent laced with a touch of apple, then
this super fragrance is for you. With its rich green wax colour and seasonal
image, Apple and Pine Needle will fill your home with a very bold and
distinctive scent.
CHRISTMAS
EVE
Christmas
Eve is a delightful blend of sugary fruits and other magical ingredients. This
candle has a real anticipatory feel to it, as it should being named Christmas
Eve. The aroma actually whisks you off to that special day and evening with all
the joy it brings.
CHRISTMAS
TREE
Christmas
Tree has been retired recently but is still available from many retailers. It
has the beautiful rich scent of a real
Christmas Tree. A real cosy fragrance that will make any space feel festive!
CRANBERRY
ICE
Cranberry
Ice has that delightful aroma of Christmas fruit livened up with an icy touch.
Quite how the smell of ice can be captured is something that only the master
chandlers of Yankee Candle can reveal!
NORTH POLE
North Pole
is available in the UK in limited quantities direct from Yankee Candle. It is
an amazingly refreshing scent with a bright, sharp minty notes. North Pole will
whisk you off to the snow covered fantasy landscapes of your imagination.
RED APPLE
WREATH
Red Apple
Wreath is a deliciously warming winter fruit candle with a hint of green that
you’d expect from a Christmas wreath. It brings to mind a warm fireplace and
cosying up with all of the delights of the festive season around you.
RED BERRY
AND CEDAR
Red Berry
And Cedar as so many have said - is Christmas in a candle. One of the most
complex of the Christmas Yankee Candle scents, its varying notes should delight
you senses! One minute mysterious and fruity and the next full of green notes
like pine and cedar, this fragrance will bring everything Christmas into your home. Recently retired by Yankee Candle, it is still available from a good number of retailers.
SNOWFLAKE
COOKIE
Snowflake
Cookie is one of four new fragrances released by Yankee Candle for Christmas
2013. It is a delicate yet biscuity fragrance that actually manages to smell
pink! Enjoy its unusual aroma for a little extra twinkle in your household this
festive season.
SPARKLING
CINNAMON
Cinnamon
comes into its own at Christmas and probably the best spicy festive Yankee
Candle of all is Sparkling Cinnamon. The wax is a lovely rich red colour and
the candle is full on cinnamon, but almost as if it has been dusted with sugar
to give it that sparkling feel.
SUGARED
APPLE
And last but
not least is Sugared Apple. This fragrance is rich and bold. The apple dusted
with sugar is mixed with other less sweet notes to give you a strong, deep and unique
fragrance. Sugared Apple will whisk you off to a Christmas kitchen with all of
the headiest notes of baking fruit pies mixed with the warming christmas aromas
from your living room.
