This is one of the new fragrances that came out with the Italian line. I was super excited to hear about this scent because I love coffee scents even though I really haven’t expressed that on here. It’s hard to find a coffee scent that I use…they typically are too strong or they are mixed with some other notes that I don’t care for…maybe I don’t like their (random company’s) pumpkin or gingerbread.
Bath and Body Works describes this fragrance as:
In Italy, you never take your coffee “to go” – instead you stop and savor the aromas of roasted espresso beans and sweet vanilla froth that inspired this fragrance
I love this fragrance!!! It’s bold and strong! It’s so strong… I have it sitting on my kitchen table/bar and it’s not even lit and I can smell it!! Rich roasted espresso beans with slight creaminess….totally in love! I have 13 of these!! I love how it smells like a coffee shop …yes even if it has a hint of chocolate. I have heard others say that and I agree it does but I like Mocha drinks so it’s all good!
Rating (0-5): So in love!!
Throw: Strong!
Worth It:YES!
Golden Sands is one of the new fragrances from Yankee Candle for the summer. It is listed in the Fresh category even though I get some floral in this as well.
This fragrance is not strong by any means but that doesn’t mean rule it out. I totally picture a nice evening stroll on the beach while the sun is setting however it does not have a “beachy” smell to it. I don’t get even a hint the salty water, sea air or sun tan lotion smell. I actually smell vanilla…not like a baker’s vanilla but a softer feminine vanilla. I can smell the sandalwood and I do get a sweet floral note in it as well. Yankee Candle’s description of this scent is:
Your private beach awaits, where time pauses in soft breezes of soothing sandalwood, luminous orange flower and warm tonka beans.
I personally won’t be buying this in a jar or anything but it was nice to try. I wouldn’t turn it down if it was offered as a gift.
It’s not overly floral which is nice because I’m pretty picky about floral scents. I can’t handle them if they are too powdery.
Rating (0-5): 1/2
Throw: light to medium
Worth It: Not something I am running to the store to pick up three jars but I’m sure there are people that really would enjoy this fragrance.
