VALENTINE’S NIGHT FUN WITH YANKEE CANDLE ON QVC

While the wind roars through the trees outside and I sit here with a lovely Yankee Candle Willow Breeze tart melting to give a fresh, yet fragrant atmosphere to the house, I thought I’d write a few words about last night’s rather special Yankee Candle TV show on QVC.

Sadly I missed the morning show with Craig Rowe (work, don’t you know!) but after battling back from the Midlands following hours of train delays, I was settled down for the 10 o’clock show with Brand Ambassador Rosa Speyer and The Silver Fox – QVC regular Dale Franklin.

There’s always something special about the weekend evening shows, maybe because the vino is flowing in Yankee Candle fans households – but also it was Valentine’s Day … plus it was the first time QVC had brought the brand new Yankee Candle spring fragrances to screen in a variety of formats and ways to buy.

First up 72 tea lights featuring the new release fragrances Champaca Blossom, Pink Hibiscus and Lovely Kiku



They were also available as a selection of 30 samplers (votives), but best of all in large jars and for a fab price!



Rosa described the fragrances with her usual expert insight and I’ve highlighted some of her more intriguing comments to be read in conjunction with the official descriptions.

Lovely Kiku – “A sweet floral with notes of Cherry Blossom”

Champaca Blossom – “with musky, vanilla notes”, “a soft yet slightly fruity floral”

Pink Hibiscus – “bracing and effervescent”, “the brightest and the sharpest of the new fragrances”


An exciting auto delivery option too with future drops including the rest of the year’s new releases! More details HERE and HERE

Some really other lovely products were on offer such as a large shade with a jar of Wedding Day, a one time only special offer of melts and samplers and an essential care kit featuring a wick trimmer, illuma lid and a snuffer – a Yankee Candle fan’s must haves!

Dale made the show extra special with tons of interaction with Yankee Candle fans tweeting in. Ben had multiple mentions (is it a café though?), Julie, Diane, LittleAppleDol, Phil and tons of others! Oh and thanks to Rosa for remembering my travel woes that afternoon – bless you!

A terrific show all round and a fabulous way to formally launch the new stunning fragrances from Yankee Candle.

Many of these combinations are still available from the QVC website Yankee Candle shop HERE
