Yankee Candle Europe/UK 2016 Spring & Summer News



Yankee Candle America USA 2016 Spring News


Yankee Candle Beach Walk Review



I've done real beach walk several times, so I can say if this candle reminds me of real beach walk.


Fragrances







Beach Walk was a bestseller in Europe. In some reason, Yankee retired this fragrance years ago. It is available in the states right now and it is very popular. Everybody likes it, I'll say if it reminds of sea air/water today.

Fragrance notes:
Top notes: ozone, tangerine and
clementine
Middle notes: sea moss, salt water and orange flower
Base notes: musk and orange blossom

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA/Europe - retired
Official rating: 4.5/5
My rating: 4/5
Description: Refreshing salt water and sea musk warmed with sunny notes of rangerine and orange blossom/A classic scent of sea and sea salt with sunny notes of tangerine and orange blossom.

I absolutely love this fragrance! I burned a large 2-wick tumbler and throw was amazing. It's a strong sea fragrance which reminds you of the summer ray at the shore... it has got a wonderful watery fragrance with a little bit of ocean breeze air type of scent. Everything is laced with sweet notes of tangerine and sweet blossoms. I love it!

Yankee Candle Tahitian Tiaré Flower Review

I've never been to Tahiti so I can't say if this candle smells like real Tiaré Flower. 

But... I swear I hate all floral scents except Tahitian Tiaré Flower and Garden Sweet Pea.
This fragrance was released in the World Joruney and because it was very popular Yankee decided to make this fragrance as a normal fragrance. It has been retired in the States, but it is gonna be available around Europe for a limited time.

Fragrance notes:
Top notes: pear nectar & bergamot
Middle notes: tiaré flower, cherry blossom & lily of the valley
Bottom notes: white musk & sandalwood

Fragrance family: floral (but I'd say fresh)
Availability: USA - retired/Europe - Special Appearance
Official rating: 4.1/5
My rating: 4/5
Description: Reminiscent of sweet gardenias . . . love blooms in the hypnotic fragrance of this snowy white flower.

Honestly, I wasn't sure on this candle as it is in the floral fragrance family. But I was very surprised! I would say this fragrance is a summer version of Season of Peace. They share similar notes: bergamot, white musk and sandalwood. Tahitian Tairé Flower isn't minty though! It isn't floral at all. All you will get from this fragrance are notes of heavy musk, watery-airy notes and bergamot. It isn't strong on cold sniff, so I would say it will have low-medium throw.

Yankee Candle Blue Summer Sky Review




I'm reviewing another candle for you after a long time!

Blue Summer Sky

It is gonna be a fragrance from the USA Spring Collection 2015. It's Blue Summer Sky. It has been released as a special appearance for some European countries. It hasn't arrived to the UK yet. You can buy it in some European countries, in the USA and in the UK as well later. But you may check ebay.

Fragrance notes:
Top notes: summer berries, saffron & fresh ginger
Middle notes: blue lotus, jasmine & orange blossom
Base notes (the strongest): amber, cedarwood & patchouli

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA/Europe - Speacial Appearance
Official rating: 4.3/5
My rating: 5/5
Description: Let the sunshine in. Nothing seems as perfect as a big, bright and beautiful blue sky on a summer afternoon. The air always seems cleaner; the earth more fragrant. This bright fragrance captures all the glory of a heavenly summer day with the crisp, clean scent of summer berries and fresh ginger, enhanced with notes of jasmine, orange blossom and blue lotus.

Well, I bought two large jars because I loved the descruption, the fragrance notes and the beautiful label. This fragrance reminds me of my childhood a lot. It is a sweet, airy fragrance with a watery note to it. It's beautiful. It hasn't got that strong floral note to it, it is slightly floral. It smells so nostalgic and relaxing. I honestly can't smell any ginger, but it smells like jasmine. It seems that this fragrance will have a medium throw.

Yankee Candle Bay Breeze Review

Hello again!
I haven't had a lot of time now so I couldn't write any review for you.

I'm gonna review one very rare and wonderful fragrance. It's Bay Breeze. I always wanted to have this candle all along. This fragrance was released on the beginnings of Yankee Candle. It was retired a couple of years ago. But Yankee usually brings this scent as a treasure. You can buy it in the USA in outlets. I think it was a very popular scent. I bought it on ebay, so you may check ebay if you want it.

Fragrance notes: 
Top notes: ozone, and bergamot notes.
Middle notes: floral notes.
Bottom notes: musky notes.

Fragrance family: fresh
Availlability: USA - retired/USA - Outlets
Released: ???
Official rating: ???
My rating: 5/5
Description: All the cool, crispness of clean ocean air blowing across your face.

This fragrance smells like the ocean air and the sea water. Absolutely. It's the most authentic scent I have had. It smells like seaweed, fish, its ozone, but not musky as many of YC's ocean scents are. It's my most favourite scent so far.

Yankee Candle Nature's Paintbrush Review

Hello again.
I've got an another review for you.



I'm going to review one very favourite and rare scent. It's Nature's Paintbrush. I bought this scent here but I think it's very hard to find it now. If you want tarts or votives, you could check ebay. This scent came with River Valley (Over The River) to Europe in Autumn 2011. Unfortunately it's a retired scent. I love the label and the beautiful wax colour, which reminds you of a cool, autumn day.

Fragrance notes:
Top fragrance notes: fresh citrus, lime, bergamot and apple.
The Middle notes: spicy nutmeg, sweet cinnamon, crystallized sugar.
The Bottom base notes: sandalwood, amber, musk, sweet, brown sugar, vanilla.

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA - retired/Europe - retired
Official rating: ??? but there are two types of people: someone loves that scent, someone hates it
My rating: 4.9/5
Description:  A perfect autumn day captured in radiant, aormatic strokes of brisk air, spicy woods and warm musk.


Label:

So: I absolutely adore this scent! It smells like fresh autumny day. It really reminds me of clean air. It smells little bit like November Rain, but it isn't as masculine as November Rain is. I think it's a unisex scent. I think anybody who likes these outdoorsy fragrance will love it. I can smell some fruit, brisk air, spices and sweet notes... I love it. I heard that this fragrance throws very well. I haven't burnt it so I don't know.  

Yankee Candle Drift Away Review

Hello again!
It's time to review another candle. It's going to be one very rare scent - it's Drift Away.




Well, I wanted to try this scent all along! As I wrote I love all natural, watery and airy scents. Drift Away was released as a new fragrance for Spring 2010. Yes, it's definitely a spring scent. This fragrance is as always retired. They do that always. I bought this fragrance over here but as always, you may try ebay uk.

I have got some fragrance notes, but they aren't full:
The top notes: ozone, fresh greenery.
The middle notes:sea salt, white lilac, white lily.
The bottom base notes: woodsy notes, floral notes, moss.

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA - retired/Europe - retired
Official rating: 5/5
My rating: 4.5/5
Description: Cares float away on peaceful, blue waters surrounded by lush woodlands.

Label:



I'm glad I bought this medium jar. It's a very relaxing scent, I'd say it's airy watery scent with some flowers. Yes, I definitely smell floral notes. I didn't expect that this scent will be floral. It slightly reminds me of Garden Sweet Pea. But I can definitely smell blue crystal waters surrounded by lush woodlands. That's it! Woodlands and flowers with fresh air by the big blue lake. I love this candle. I think anybody who likes watery fresh fragrances would fall in love with this.
I haven't burnt this candle because it's too rare to burn it.
But I'm expecting a medium throw.

Yankee Candle Oceanside Review

Hi everyone,
Today I'm reviewing another scent!

It's going to be Oceanside.
I bought this fragrance in Italy. It's still available in Europe hereyankeecandle.co.uk/oceanside and in the USA hereyankeecandle.com/oceanside. This fragrance was very rare and hard to find till this year. It wasn't released in Europe before. It was a new for USA Summer 2012 and it was retired in 2013. I really love this fragrance.

I found the fragrance notes:
The top notes: bergamot and nutmeg
The middle notes: cyclamen, ylang and grapefruit
The bottom base notes: cedarwood, musk and vanilla

Fragrance family: Fresh
Availability: USA - retired/Europe - Special Appearance
Official rating: 4.8/5
My rating:  4.6/5
Description: A quiet day at the beach... the warm, musky scent of calm sea air with touches of citrusy sunshine.

Well, this fragrance is in my favourites. It's a complex fragrance, and it is very musky and parfumy smell. I can smell citrus, vanilla, nuts and nutmeg. It's a beachy fragrance. It's an unusual fragrance. It isn't a faky smell, it's a very real fragrance. I really recommend this fragrance as it is released around the world! I haven't burnt it but it seems that it will be a lighter fragrance.


Yankee Candle Sea Coral Review

Hello everyone.
Today I'm posting second review.


I'm reviewing Sea Coral today, because I think Ocean Star and Sea Coral look gorgerous together!
I bought this fragrance over there yankeecandle.com/seacoral, but unfortunately, this fragrance has been retired. If you want to buy a large jar, you may try ebay.com or ebay.uk. It was released as a new for Summer 2014 in USA. It was released last year as a Speacial Appearance for a very short time in UK as well. It is definitely a summer fragrance!


I've got the fragrance notes:
The top notes: ozone, lemon zest, juicy apple, dewy greens and cinnamon leaf.
The middle notes: pine needle, hyacinth, ginger lily, lavender and pear
The base bottom notes: golden amber, vetiver, soft musk, patchouli and sandalwood

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA - retired/Europe - Speacial Appearance
Official rating: 4/5
My rating: 4.9/5
Description: Like gliding around a tropical reef, this unique watery fresh fragrance surrounds you in the soothing warmth of sea musk.

Label:          
 

This fragrance is my most favourite so far. I think it's very hard to describe! But I can smell sea water (really, pure sea water), some wet fruit and spicy, tree notes. It's a very musky scent! So if you don't like any musky and powdery scents, don't buy it because it's a kind of musky scents. But I love it. It's sweet and salty at the same momment. You can actually smell cinnamon. Through the spicy, fruity and musky notes it really reminds me of sea. I don't know why. But it isn't a cologny type of scent, so if you don't like these masculine fragrances, buy it. I think it's a unisex fragrance. I love it!
And for info, I've got 4 large jars and I burnt one and it throws very well! One of the most strong fragrances I've tried.

Yankee Candle Ocean Star Review



Hello everyone!
This is my first post on my blog.

FragrancesI'm going to review one of my first candles and it's - Ocean Star.
I bought it on yankeecandle.co.uk in January, but it isn't available there now. It was released in UK as Speacial Appearance.
But you may try ebay and if you're from America, you may buy it over here yankeecandle.com/oceanstar. It has beeen released as a new fragrance for Spring 2014. I think it isn't a spring fragrance, but I very like it!

I found the fragrance notes for this scent:
The top notes: ozone, fresh aloe, cactus milk and citrus
The middle notes: lily of the valley, lotus blossom and melon
The base bottom notes: musk and wood

Fragrance family: fresh
Availability: USA/Europe - Speacial Appearance
Official rating: 4.5/5
My rating: 3.8/5
Description: Soothing and fresh... the scent of peacefull       sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus and lotus blossom. Dive in!
Label: 


This fragrance isn't musky at all. I can really smell aloe, cactus milk, citrus and blossoms! If you like Turquoise Sky, or citrus scents, you may try this scent, because it's  very similar to Turquoise Sky (but it isn't as musky as Turquoise Sky) It is a really fresh, clean fragrance. I can really smell the water. But this fragrance can evoke the smell of fake, ocean toilet smell.
It isn't in my 5 Top fragrances, but I like it.

It seems, that this candle will throw very well.
