MY YANKEE CANDLE DIARY : CHERRY BLOSSOM, VANILLA CHAI, WILD PASSION FRUIT, SPICED ORANGE and more (w.e. 22 Mar)


It has been a bit of a cold and dreary week, with spring only really showing itself on Sunday.

So back to the late winter warmers for me and I’m still trying to finish that jar of Blissful Autumn. As least it is throwing the scent well at the moment as it reaches the end of its life.

Buttercream was melted on Tuesday and again it gave a much needed warm feel to a chilly night.

Spiced Orange followed and it’s a real pick you up fragrance. This festive treat goes well beyond Christmas and has a lovely almost orange peel / marmalade tone to it.
 
 



 

French Lavender was already on when I got home on Thursday and its rich, calming notes are perfect to help you relax after a busy day.

 


Angel’s Wings took us through the evening with it’s pleasant sugary light vanilla notes.

 

Wedding Day was Friday’s treat with its beautiful, complex blend of white florals and perfume.



Even though it was cold and dreary on Saturday, we had a taste of spring with the absolutely divine Cherry Blossom. Sweet, powdery and full of springtime hope – I just love this scent. You can just glimpse a Cherry Blossom tree coming into bloom outside of the window.

 

 

Vanilla Chai warmed us through the evening. This recently retired fragrance is a love/hate one amongst Yankee Candle fans. We adore its complicated blend of spices and vanilla – very unique and special. And of course,  it went right along with Rosa’s Yankee Candle show on QVC!

 

 

Hooray, a glimpse of sunshine on Sunday, so time to crack open Wild Passion Fruit to celebrate. This lovely slightly spiced fruit fragrance is always a winner when the sun is out.

 

White Gardenia took us through Sunday night with its lovely sharp gardenia flowery notes. Still possibly my favourite Yankee floral.

 

And finally, this week’s guest photo from TEAM YANKEE is by Amie – a nice shot of Vanilla Lime and a Yankee bear!
