My Yankee candles




Ebony and Oak
This one is my favorite and sadly discontinued. I should have bought the largest jar, but now it’s too late. Maybe one day they will make something similar. Anyway this scent reminds me on walk trough forest on warm fall day, accompanied with sound of fallen leafs underneath my feet.


Moonlight
It’s very pleasant and calming. To me this one smells like male cologne, but in a good way. It is not overpowering, which is very important to me, because I’m prone to headaches caused by heavy fragrances. I get a mixture of my beloved patchouli and refreshing citruses.


Dried Lavender & Oak
Another replica of male fragrance or walk-in to expensive high fashion store. It is stronger than previous two candles mentioned, but still not too strong to be enjoyable. I like it, but it’s not my favorite. I expected this to be different; I think lavender is quite fake and not as good as in some other candles, like ˝classic˝ Yankee lavender.


Pain au Raisin
Very good gourmand scent, but again it was limited edition. Well at least in our country. This one strongly represents scents from bakery, especially scent of fresh cinnamon buns with raisins and brown sugar. I like that is not too sweet, but the problem is that it gets super strong, so I can’t burn it for longer time. I use this just to refresh my room, so it will last me for a long time.


Spiced Orange Ginger – Elevation
I must admit that I like the Elevation concept of candles more than traditional Yankee candles. They are simply more elegant and just nicer. Spiced orange ginger is very strong; I can smell it in my room even when it is not lighted. It reminds me on Christmas, but was released as part of fall collection. Mostly I get a lot of orange and nutmeg, or maybe I mistaken it with ginger.


Riviera Escape
Riviera Escape is my least favorite from this bunch. It is super strong and gives me headaches. It smells like overpowering citruses, mixed with some kind of flowers. You could put this in the kitchen for example after cooking something with not very pleasant smell and it would quickly solve your problem. I simply don’t like it.


Current wishes? I saw a preview of holiday collection, but nothing caught my attention. Halloween candles are just too big and expensive. I would surely like to try some scents from Elevation collection like: Tonka bean and pumpkin, Pear and tea leaf or maybe Velvet woods.
