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.
