I adore Christmas but not so much the festive fragrances that may candle brands launch year after year,
I want to like spice based scents, I really do but cinnamon notes just aren't for me.
That being said I do enjoy anything cookie or vanilla based so the new Yankee Snowflake fragrance is right up my street.
"A new Christmas tradition that is sure to charm: perfectly pretty holiday cookies, deliciously decorated with sugary pink icing."
As the pink tinted wax and pretty label may suggest this is a sweet and light fragrance - I know it is clichéd to say but this is your typical girlie girl scent. It is of course sugar based with a strong vanilla kick, the idea is to mimic cookies and the icing that tops such sweet treat and I wouldn't say it is worlds apart. To be truthful it reminds me somewhat of Yankee Vanilla Cupcake (not identical just similar) so fans of that category of fragrance will eat this up...not literally of course.
It may not be your typical festive offering but it is a nice break from spice based scents and let's not kid ourselves the pink design will hook the majority of us in!
Yankee Snowflake Cookie range £1.25-£19.99 via Yankee Direct - link
This sounds so nice (and looks it)! I'm just like you, I rally want to fall in love with spicy fragrances but I can't!

I love this scent, I've got a small jar and a few samplers of it as well! It is very similar to a few other Yankee cookie and cake scents though, like you say.

I love a good Yankee Candle burning in the back ground in the winter. I've just bought Fireside Treats for a christmassy type, and it smells just like toasted marshmallows, you might like that one, as I was the same with all the other christmas scents.

I keep smelling this when I pop into Clinton Cards and I can see me buying it come Saturday as a treat. :D It smells so sweet and lovely but doesn't have anything on Yankee's Christmas Cookie, which is my favourite Christmas scent to date.

I find these sometimes smell a bit too sweet and strong in the glass, but I don't know if it'll become less sweet when it's being burnt ... ?

Im thinking of ordering it! Thanks for the review, it might be my type of scent!
ReplyDeleteI'm not keen on cinnamon either, I thought I was the only one! I like pine scents at Christmas, it reminds me of the Christmas Trees.
