I'm back with more festive scents from Yankee Candles, there is so many different festive scents to choose from that I have had to split it into three posts, this is post two but you can read post one here.
Yankee Candle Deck The Halls - This is an new addition for 2011 and doesn't smell traditionally Christmas/festive by this I mean it has no obvious spice notes. It is fruity but heady. "It's a merry symphony of cedar, bergamot, fir needles and musk."
Yankee Candle Christmas Tree- As a family we burn this on the 12th of December every year as that is the day we decorate the tree."Christmas Tree is a fresh pine fragrance evoking memories of going out in the snow to find that special tree or walking through a pine forest. Simply irresistible, warming your home throughout the chilly seasonal months."
Yankee Christmas Cookie - I just want to say I don't find this send all that dissimilar from the Christmas Cupcake scent, in my opinion they are almost identical so just a heads up! "This fine festive candle captures the aroma of buttery rich, vanilla scented, sugar cookies fresh from the oven and ready to hang on the tree." Also if you like the Vanilla Cupcake scent you'll enjoy this.
Yankee Candle Eggnog- Well the title says it all (even if the tart borders slightly artificial) but if you haven't smelt eggnog let me enlighten you! "A warm, inviting aroma perfectly spiced with cinnamon, vanilla and clove." It is festive with a slight kick.
Yankee Candle Mountain Berry - Again a new addition for Christmas 2011 this is one of my least favourite scents, it smells really sweet and artificial, has a strong blackcurrant top note and somehow reminds me of a car air freshener! "Inspired by nature. . . the wintry crisp scent of frosty woods, red berries, currant and rosemary."
The finial instalment will be up in a day or so, as always I buy my tarts from here or eBay.
I love Yankee candles and tarts but for some reason I can't bring myself to like the Christmas scents at all :(
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the YC tarts so much,I have yet to find a christmas one i like, they all smell too artificial/car freshener to me! Think i liked the autumn ones best, hoping to buy a couple more this weekend as i have only had the fortune to get hold of two.
ReplyDeleteI'm on fragrance oils at the moment, do you use those?
