Aloha! The start of July brings a new Yankee Candle collection, which is always an exciting time for me. I managed to get my hands on the new collection a little early, so I thought I'd do a little post so people can see what's coming! 

The new collection is called Out of Africa and features four new scents: 

Egyptian musk: with hints of vanilla bean, cedar wood and musk.

Kilimanjaro stars: cool mint & patchouli. This is a calming fragrance, smells a little bit like Lynx deodorant to me but I love the name of it! 

Serengeti sunset: lotus flower, Amber, fruit & citrus. I don't like to diss Yankee, but I had this in my burner last night and I didn't think it gave off a very strong scent. I did have a bit of hayfever though so maybe my nose was blocked! 

Madagascan orchid: floral notes of African orchid. I love the smell of this one. 

These should all be available in store from 1st July but many stores have already put their stock out! There are also some new melt warmers and votive holders coming with this collection, including a votive holder with zebras on it!

New Yankee Candles

Aloha! The start of April saw the launch of 5 new Yankee Candle scents! Of course, I had to rush out and buy them to try as soon as they hit my local store! I only got the tarts of course, because 5 large jars would be a bit excessive!

Wild Sea Grass - This one is difficult to describe but Yankee say it smells of grass and sand! It is a lovely fresh scent for summer!

Beach Holiday - This one I love! It smells like fabric softener and the seaside! I love it! 

Pain au Raisin - This one is the first in the new cafe culture range. It smells like cinnamon, vanilla and a little bit of rum! Haha! 

Tarte Tatin - This one is also gorgeous. Smells just like apple strudel! Yummy! 

Cappuccino Truffle - This is probably my favourite one! It smells like coffee and chocolate, my 2 favourite things!! I'm actually burning this one as I write this and it's filled my front room with a lovely chocolately goodness! Yum! 

If you haven't tried these yet, you definitely need to!

Yankee Candle // Coming Soon

Hello! So last week I posted about the Yankee Candle scents which have newly been released in 2015. This post will show you what is still to come this year! 

The first scent to mention is Jelly Beans! I don't have a picture of this one yet but it will be available in time for Easter! If you really can't wait to get your hands on this, a little birdy told me that some Dobbies Garden Centres already have these on the shelves! 

Cafe Culture Range

- Pain au Raisin

-Tarte Tatin

- Cappuccino Truffle (This one will be mine! Coffee and Chocolate, what's not to love!?) 

These will be available in stores from April. 

Out of Africa Range

-Egyptian Musk

- Kilimanjaro Stars

- Serengeti Sunset

- Madagascan Orchid

These are described as "perfumes of musk, orchid and amber, reminiscent of an African Savannah. They sound like exactly the type of scents I love and I can't wait to have a little sniff of these when they hit my local store in July. 

Christmas Range

- Bundle Up

- Cosy by the Fire

- Berry Trifle (this sounds lush!)

- Winter Glow

Yankee never fail to disappoint with their Christmas candles, and by the sounds of it, this year will be no different! There is just something so lovely about lighting a candle on a cold, dark winter's night! These candles will be available in stores from October!

So that is what's coming soon from Yankee Candle! I personally can't wait to get my hands on Cappuccino Truffle, Kilimanjaro Starts and Berry Trifle. 

What scents are you looking forward to trying?

Yankee Candle 2015 // New Scents

Hello! If you follow me on Instagram, you will know I have a serious obsession with Yankee candles. In fact make that any scented candles ever. Today I thought I'd do a little post about all the amazing scents which have just been launched by Yankee!

Pink Grapefruit - "Perfectly ripe, sunkissed fruit bursting with bright, tingly citrus to stir the senses."

Oud Oasis - "Rich and seductive, this prized incense helps set a luxuriously calming mood."

Frankincense - "This precious resin has long been sought for its delicate sweetness, peppery spiciness and balsamic wood undertones."

Moroccan Argan Oil - "With hints of patchouli and sandalwood, the exotic aroma of rare argan oil creates a uniquely inviting ambiance." 

I had a little nosy in my local yankee store at these new scents. Personally I'm not that keen on the first 3 scents listed, although I haven't smelt them whilst lit, so I won't write them off yet. The rest of them are lovely though, especially the Moroccan Argan Oil & Red Raspberry! I will definitely be adding them to my wishlist! 

Next week I'll be posting about the scents which are still to come this year! 

Have you bought any of the new scents? Which ones do you like the sound of?
