Pine Candle


So, I usually only light this during December, but it's a nice and earthy pine scent!

Yankee Candle Apple


This Yankee Candle doesn't have a set 'name' but has some general "apple" related terms listed on it. They have a few variations like this available, but I've only seem them in HomeGoods and never in the actual Yankee Candle store. This apple scent is really nice and refreshing. It's sort of an Autumn scent but I like to use it whenever!

Apple Pumpkin


I don't really smell pumpkin at all and only a hint of apple with this fragrance wax, Apple Pumpkin by Yankee Candle. But, it's really good! It's very, very autumn-like and the best word to describe the scent is "spice." It has hints of cinnamon, spice, and potpourri. It's also very fragrant and I can smell it throughout my space, rather than having to sniff it up close. At the moment, this is my favorite autumn scent so far!

Pumpkin Pie


Woooooah, Pumpkin Pie home fragrance wax tarts by Yankee Candle are amazingggg.  Seriously.  This scent was extremely fragrant right away (check plus!) - I didnt even need to wait for the whole tart to melt.
The room was filled with the smell of pumpkin plus a cinnamon hint, but also had a cider hint to it... like an apple cider pumpkin pie! Geez, so good.

Harvest

I looooove Autumn and anything Autumn themed. So I may have went a little crazy during my latest shopping trip to Yankee Candle and purchased a whole bunch of seasonsal scents. The first one I tried is called Harvest. It's very subtle but has a great cinnamon, deep autumn type scent. Anyone else try this one?

Almond Cookie tart

Alright.... this home fragrance tart disappoints me! Almond Cookie, by Yankee Candle, sounds like it would be so delightful, but I couldn't smell a thing!! And I have a very sensitive sense of smell where I can pick up any faint scents... but when lit I couldn't even smell this at all! I kept sticking my nose close to the burning tart and still couldn't smell anything. Oh well.

Root Beer Float


Um, heck yes! This home fragrance wax by Yankee Candle is named Root Beer Float- and let me tell ya- it totally smells like root beer! So awesome!! It does take a while for the scent to penetrate the air... longer than other fragrances, but once it works, it smells good!

Cherry Lemonade


Cherry Lemonade fragrance wax by Yankee Candle is such a delicious home fragrance. It's so summery and fruity. While it was burning, I kept sniffing the air because it was so sweet. It made me think of picnic time. A+.

Sun & Sand


Woohoo! Sun & Sand by Yankee Candle is such a fun scent! I haven't used the fragrance wax yet, but I've been using the fragrance oil this week and it's great!! Now, I will say it does not linger the way that other scents do the day after. However, I don't mind simply because the fragrance is so good when lit. It truly smells like the beach. I can't place if I'm smelling the sun, the sand, sun tan lotion, or what- but the name is just very accurate. Stuck at home but want to be on the beach every day like I do? Then I really recommend this scent. Geez, this sounds like an ad. Can you tell I'm a fan of summer scents?!! The refreshing fragrance of summer is so relaxing!

Vanilla Lime


I'm always drawn to scents like Vanilla Lime because I basically love all lime and lemon scents, tastes, colors ... everything! This Vanilla Lima home fragrance wax by Yankee Candle smells great. I will say that the lime is dominant over the vanilla. At certain times, I can't smell the vanilla at all. Yet, it doesn't just smell like lime alone. It's a fruity mixture of two pleasant scents.

Meyer Lemon

While I already was in love with lemon scents, especially for the home, my friend recommended Yankee Candle's Meyer Lemon to me. She raved on and on about how great the scent was, so I just HAD to try it. Read her blog too! She describes this scent as 'lemony deliciousness.' I have to say, I am so glad I tried Meyer Lemon because my friend was right.

I bought the little wax tarts that work the same way as wax cubes in your home fragrance burner. Yankee Candle had a sale where each tart was just $1.

This smells SO GOOD. Not a great description, right? Well, I can say that if you enjoy freshness, sugary, citrus, or sweet smells, you will love this home fragrance. It is very, very sweet! It smells more like lemon candy than an actual lemon. I've said this before with other lemon scents, but this reminds me of sweet Lemon Drops.

I wanted to keep inhaling so I could enjoy the juicy-lemon smell. I wanted to fill each room with the fragrance. Try it out and let me know if you felt the same way!

Fluffy Towels

The fragrance oil Fluffy Towels by Yankee Candle is soooo good! The scent is pretty strong and fills the air with a fresh and clean aroma. I noticed it really does linger once the burning is over as well. I can notice the scent a little the next day as well. 

The name is also pretty accurate because it does smell like clean linens basically! Some home fragrances that are named fresh linens or clean towels smell sort of like chemicals or have a fake touch to it... but this one really does smell nice.  When I walk into a room with Fluffy Towels burning, it just smells clean and fresh.

I've been lighting this one every night lately! It's a nice alternative to fruity or other specific scents. This is just CLEAN.

Vanilla Cupcake

Vanilla Cupcake scented fragrance oil by Yankee Candles sounds really yummy and smells equally yummy when you sniff the top of the container, but once used, left me a little disappointed.  The description provided says it is a "rich, creamy aroma" ... "with hints of lemon and lots of buttery icing."  Although the oil was pleasant, I really didn't grasp any buttery or creamy scents. I also found that I had to be standing pretty close to my oil burner in order to smell this one. I even put it in two separate burners to try to promote the scent.  I prefer scents that fill the area and overwhelm your senses a bit, which this did not do.  That being said, I still think this scent was good! I asked my boyfriend what fragrance he thought I was burning and he guessed citrus.... when I told him it was vanilla cupcake he suddenly seemed to agree with the name- so maybe it does accurately smell like vanilla cupcake. It just didn't to me! I was hoping my home would smell like a kitchen with some warm cupcakes in the oven.

Fresh Lemon & Lemon Lavender

I love lemon scents in general because they smell so clean and potent. Lately, I've been really into anything citrus related.

Slatkin & Co. has a fragrance oil named Fresh Lemon. I found this scent to be very strong and I loved how it filled the air with a lemon fragrance. I'd describe this fragrance oil as a clean lemon scent. Clean... and well, fresh, like the name says!


I also tried the Lemon Lavender fragrance oil by Yankee Candle. By the way, they were on sale: 3 for $10. These sales are ridiculous when you have an addiction like I do, am I right?

Lavender and lemon are two of my favorite scents individually, but for some reason I wasn't expecting to love Lemon Lavender as much as I did. It was extremely fragrant and we could smell it throughout our living room and kitchen. I couldn't totally pinpoint the lavender in the scent, but it wasn't just a regular lemon like the Fresh Lemon above. The best way to describe the Lemon Lavender is to compare it to Lemon Heads candy.  The scent kept reminding me of candy and then I realized- "This is what it smells like when we eat Lemon Heads!"  I have to say, I will be lighting this scent again today and breathing in the sugary fresh scent.
