Yankee Meyer Lemon

In this video the host talks about some Yankee candles she purchased.  I find it helpful to watch some of these videos about scent reviews because I do not want to waste my money!  So here are the scents that she covers:

• Meyer Lemon
• Vanilla Lime
• Lemon Zest
• Kiwi Berries
• Orchard Pear
• Macintosh Spice

I like that she includes a rant in this video – I think $27.99 for one Yankee candle is ridiculous too!  That is just too much.  Watch the video and let us know your thoughts on it:

Wild Passion Fruit Candle

One thing I am dying to try is their new Summer and Spring scents. I have not smelled the Meyer Lemon, Fruit Fusion or Wild Passion Fruit yet, but I cannot wait to do so soon! I plan to make a trip to the Yankee store this week and do a little spending.

I found this video on youtube today that is a quick commercial for their Q2 scents, which is the scents available in the UK. Enjoy and let me know what your favorite Yankee scent is:

Light up your home with Pure Radiance™, a new line of contemporary candles from Yankee Candle®. The warm glow of the wide wick LumiWick™ flame complements the clean design and alluring fragrance collection to deliver the exceptional experience you expect from Yankee Candle®.

Since I have not tried them, I cannot say if I believe they smell as wonderful as the other Yankee candles.  However, I do have to say they have a lot of a variety in scents and smells to choose from.  I’m really interested in smelling the Cinnamon Scone and Grapevine Pure Radiance candles.

Yankee Pure Radiance

Yankee Candle has revealed a new line of candles that are supposed to look sleeker and more modern that are known as Pure Radiance Candles.

This is what Yankee has to say about the Pure Radiance line of candles:

Light up your home, experience the glow and create the perfect ambiance with Pure Radiance™ , a new line of contemporary designed candles from Yankee Candle® . Experience the warm glow from the wide, radiant LumiWick™ flame that complements your décor, creating an inviting atmosphere where family and friends feel at home. Available in 12 alluring fragrances.

The Pure Radiance line offers many scents to choose from:

• After Dark
• Beachfront
• Cinnamon Scone
• Creme Brulee
• Denim
• Emberlight
• Grapevine
• Ice Crystal
• Key Lime
• Lavender Chiffon
• Nectar
• Petals

Personally, I have not tried the Pure Radiance line yet.  I happen to like the look of the large Yankee jars.  I’m more of a homey, cutesy type of decor person, as opposed to sleek and modern.  Most importantly I’m curious how well they smell when they are burned.  If you have tried them, please let us know what you think!

Yankee Cherry Lemonade

As Spring is knocking on the door as we speak, I have shifted my candles to juicy Spring and Summer scents.  I have been burning the lighter candles this week in preparation for the soon to be arrival of Spring — I hope.

Here is what I’m currently burning:

• Bahama Breeze - There’s cool summer refreshment in this tropical blend of pineapple, grapefruit and mango. This one is so juicy, so fresh and so wonderful smelling.  I currently have it burning in the guest bedroom/office and I just love it!
• Black Cherry - The absolutely delicious sweetness of rich, ripe black cherries. This one smells so good, I want to eat it!  Or drink it at least.  It reminds me of Cherry Juicy Juice and smells heavenly!
• Cherry Lemonade - The cool sparkle of luscious cherries and just-squeezed lemons is the ultimate summer refresher. This is another one I want to drink!  I had it burning in the living room yesterday and the scent is so strong and perfect for this time of year!

Those are just a few of my current faves that I’m burning.  What are yours?

Yankee 2012 Spring Scent

In this video she talks about the following candles:

• Yankee Candle Beach Wood
• Yankee Candle Meyer Lemon

I am intrigued by the Meadow Showers and Meyer Lemon.  I know my sister would love to try the White Gardenia as well.  Have you tried any of these Yankee candles?  If so what do you think?  Also, in this collection that is not covered is their other Spring line scents which include: Beach Flowers, Crystal Waters and True Rose.

Check out the video here on the new Spring line of Yankee candle scents:

Yankee Country Lemonade

I have been receiving multiple emails regarding the Yankee Candle Semi-Annual Sale. Now let me preface this by saying, I recently experienced the customer service of Yankee Candle and was very impressed! I received the wrong order in the mail, called the customer service number and they went above and beyond to replace my original order — and to keep the one I received by mistake! It was quite the score!

So here is a video on the review of Yankee Candle Semi-Annual Sale going on right now.  The normal jar candles that are $25 are now 2 for $25.  It is funny because the candles in this video that are covered are ones that I love, and are also currently burning due to this sale!

• Country Lemonade – I love this one!  It is a delicious sugared lemon scent.  A fresh lemonade scent.
• Sun & Sand – fresh and inviting.  Beachy and perfect for Spring/Summertime.
• Maple Pancakes – breakfast in a candle.  Similar to oatmeal or an apple crisp topping.

And she goes on to show her other purchases!  Check out the Yankee candle haul below

Yankee Candle Vintage Berries

This weekend, the weekend after Christmas, I stocked up on Yankee Candles.  Right now they are having their semi-annual clearance sale and offering candles at up to 75% off!  Now those are prices I can handle.

Here are some of my favorite picks that I have personally tested:

Autumn Fruit - A harvest celebration featuring lively blackberries with sweet grapes and juicy pears. A large jar is currently 50% off and selling for $12.99.

Christmas Cookie – Buttery rich, vanilla scented, holiday sugar cookies.  A large jar is currently 50% off and selling for $12.99.

Christmas Eve - Traditional holiday scents of a warm hearth, sugared plums, and candied fruits. A large jar is currently 50% off and selling for $12.99.

Country Lemonade - The perfect summer refresher with its bright lemony aroma and just the right touch of sweetness. I love this one.  It has a very refreshing scent without any dreaded cleanser notes.  It is selling for half off @ $12.99 for a large jar.

Farmer’s Market - Autumn’s freshest bounty . . . sweet berries, juicy apples, succulent peaches and warm spices. Super sweet and delicious smelling this one is currently half off as well, $12.99, and is labeled Low Stock.

Home For The Holidays - The holiday spices of cinnamon and clove, mixed with earthy cedarwood and balsam. This one is half off as well, and has the most adorable Christmas label.  It is also currently at Low Stock.

Napa Valley Harvest – A wine country celebration . . . a warm, fruity medley of rich grapes, sunny citrus and juicy plums. This one is currently half off @ $12.99.

Pomegranate Cider - A fall treat . . . tart pomegranate juice with sweet vanilla and spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves. One of my favorites!  It is actually burning right next to me as I write this and it is priced at $12.99 for a large jar.

Spiced Orange – This bright, cheery blend of sunny citrus and snappy ginger is the perfect winter warmer. Experience the authentic, true-to-life fragrance, with pure, natural spice extracts, and renowned Yankee Candle® quality. I really enjoyed this one!  I love the intoxicating smell of citrus dotted with cloves.  It is selling for $12.99 for a large jar.

Vintage Berries - Succulent and sweet . . . give a berry abundance in this classic blend of rich, red berries. This one has the most adorable Christmas label and is half off at $12.99 for a large jar.

I love all these scents but this weekend I purchased Be Thankful, Christmas Eve & Cranberry Chutney.  Clearly, some of the scents are no longer available or I would have touched on them.  Hopefully candle-lovers will cash in on this sale while it is still going as Yankee Candles are definitely some of the best scented candles out there!

Yankee "Be Thankful"

As it is Autumn time and near the holidays, I have particular seasonal candle tastes that need to be fulfilled. I love using scented candles to make my home smell heavenly and more inviting.  I have found that Yankee Candles are some of the best out there and probably my overall favorite line of candles.  Here is my current top ten holiday scent list (in no particular order):

1. Apple Cider – Warm apple mixed with the intoxicating blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves.  This baby is burning in my living room and it creates such a pleasant scent for this time of year.  I could be apple picking on an orchard in upstate New York for all I know!
2. Cherries On Snow –  Ohhh no, this one is currently sold out online, and I can see why.  It is such a lovely scent of cherries, almonds and “icey freshness”.  I’m not sure how they produce this icey frehness per se but it is definetly there.  I  love this one and it is currently burning in my kitchen.
3. Pomegranate Cider – what can I say, I like the cider scents!  This is described as “A fall treat… tart pomegranate juice with sweet vanilla and spicy notes of cinnamon and cloves” and that pretty much sums it up to a “T”.
4. Be Jolly – I love this one on so many levels.  First off the label on the jar is adorable!  It features Christmas ornaments on a snowy background.  This scent is very Christmas-like.  All those heavenly scents of the holidays rolled up into one sweet candle that showcases holiday cheer with notes of hollyberry and pine.
5. Mountain Berry – This one combines woodsy smells with berries, currant and rosemary.  It’s a combination of sweet and spicy.
6. Christmas Cupcake – Can we say YUM?  I mean I could eat this one.  It is probably a bad thing to have around because when I smell it I crave sweets.  It is just that delicious smelling!  It combines vanilla cupcake scents with rich, buttery icing.  (also currently sold out online)
7. Deck The Halls – This is one my husband loves.  It is a very musk-based scent that combines bergamot, fir needles and cedar.  I like it as well because it reminds me of a fresh Christmas tree.
8. Autumn Fruit – This is described as a “harvest celebration” and it truly is!  I am in love with fruity or baked scents and this showcases blackberries, grapes and pears.  It is a variable fruit salad for the senses!
9. Autumn Wreath – This one combines cinnamon apples and Autumn leaves and it quite enjoyable.
10. Be Thankful – How appropriate is this name?  All the inviting smells of a Thanksgiving kitchen.  I could burn this one all day and dream of Thanksgiving dinner.

What are you favorite holiday scents?
