With a new season, come new candles! And Yankee Candle have somehow scooped up all things ‘Summer’ and managed to split them into 4 sunshine filled wax works. I light a candle every evening to relax and unwind and very rarely stray from that homely scent. But I’ve been looking for something different to light throughout the day. And then I was introduced to the Yankee Candle Summer Scents collection. 

The collection itself is a mixture of 4 completely different scents that all (ice) scream summer rays, opened windows, fruit cocktails and blossoming flowers. And guess what? I’ve been burning these waxy babes for a while and they’re still going strong!

Pineapple Cilantro is by far my favourite with its tropical scent. The ripe notes of pineapple are softened by mild coconut undertones. The scent makes me instantly think of being on beach, sipping a fruit cocktail straight out of a pineapple whilst lapping up the sun. It is definitely a day scent that would instantly lift you up in a morning (not physically of course) without being too sickly sweet.  And the scent actually goes further than just the unlit candle. Once lit the room instantly fills with the fresh fruit scent without being too over powering. I will definitely be buying this in full size!

Summer Scoop. A candle I could imagine being quite a popular choice. A traditional deep berry scent with tangy undertones of dried strawberries. This candle is really one to engulf the room with its freshly baked fruit pie smell. The scent wasn’t as sweet as I typically go for but none the less the deep tones would be one to burn in the evening whilst relaxing. I’ve been burning this candle for a couple evenings now and the scent is actually growing on me more.

Honey Blossom. A classic and elegant scented candle that instantly reminds me of freshly washed clothes hanging on the line with the summer breeze scent being carried into the house through the open windows. A musky sweet scent that reminds me higher end sophisticated perfumes. Definitely one to burn whilst getting ready in the morning!

Fireside Treats. This is definitely a candle I would typically go for. A warm vanilla scented candle with sweet toasted marshmallow notes. The smell itself reminds me of sitting by the camp fire and drinking a warm chai latte on a cold summer night. A stunning French vanilla candle that if it wasn’t for the introduction of the fruity Pineapple Cilantro, it would be definitely be my favourite! Although yes, I will be buying this too!
