A little autumn yankee candle haul!


With autumn fully going, i really started to yearn for some new autumn scented candles for cuddly evenings on the sofa. I wanted to give yankee candles a shot for the longest time and since i found out that they ship to Belgium, i thought why not now and bought a few candles to try it out. I really like the sampler sizes. They are rather inexpensive and really let you try out a scent before you move on to buy a big candle. I actually purchased a little indian summer themed gift set containing six samplers. It contains the scents Ginger Dusk, Honey Glow, Lake Sunset, Amber Moon and Wild Fig. I think they go perfect with this late summer, early autumn mood. Alongside the set i purchased two sampler holders, so i could actually burn my candles. I love this little halloween themed orange candleholder with a witch and night sky. Actually the blackglas is see-through, so when you light your candle, the light will glow through the witch and the night sky. The second sampler i chose is a bit more all season, yet with its natural look i think it also goes with the autumn theme very well.
I can tell you so far that all of them smell very delicious. I already lighted the wild fig one, which is why it is not in the picture anymore. Actually this candles burn really really long for how small they are. I had them lighted for nearly a week every evening and it is not burned down yet. I think i will try some more samplers before i decide to purchase some big sized ones. I think before i am done with those, it will be time already for christmas scented candles. So i guess samplers are perfect for seasonal scents.
Do you have any yankee candles or other scented candles? What is your favourite seasonal scent?

  2. I love Yankee Candle, oh my gosh. I especially like their wax melts. The fragrance seems stronger than in the candles. Have one with Sicilian lemon in my oil burner at the moment.
