Yankee has come out with 5 new fragrances in a new collection call Exotic Escape.  Just the name alone makes me want to pack up my winter wardrobe and pull out the shorts, tanks, and flops.  Here's the run down:
Ocean Star:
According to Yankee, "Soothing and fresh . . the scent of peaceful, sun-kissed waters laced with aloe, citrus, and lotus blossom. Dive in!"

Citrus Tango:
Yankee describes this as "Time to shake things up with this lively, playful melody of sunny orange, lemon zest, and grapefruit."
I have to say just by the description I want it.  Sounds like something I would want a million tarts in.  Citrus...you had me at citrus.

Luau Party:
Yankee's description of this fragrance is "Join the celebration . . .every day is a festival with the fun and fruity mix of orange fizz, sparkling peach, and vanilla ice."  
Sounds like a tropical drink.  I have only smelled this quickly at the store during the SAS but I couldn't tell what was what at the time. I was so excited about what I was getting. I even meant to put these in my basket and FORGOT!!!  I will, however, be grabbing this and it will be melted after Citrus Tango. 

Under The Palms:
Yankee's description is "Like cool, refreshing shade . . . a lush, green scent of sea grass, palm leaves, and island coconut."  I am going to try it. Not sure how this will be. I do enjoy yankee's coconut that they use and I do like to have green\ grass type scents every now and then. 

Exotic Bloom:
Yankee describes this scent as "Deep in the tropical night, the seductive perfume of island flora creates an air of mystery and romance."  I will have to sniff this before buying just because it's a floral. 
Over all I am excited for this line up. I am ready for a couple of spring scents ...it's already in the mid 80's here so you can only imagine that mint and pine isn't quite working for me.

Pink Chiffon. What can I say, it's light. I get floral and something sweet. It smells like a fragrance that has already been released or a base scent for several scents. Almost like "Be Enchanted" without the pomegranate. The notes are sparkling red pear, vanilla orchid, and whipped chiffon musk.
I can say it doesn't wow me but if you like light scents then you may want to look into his one. I couldn't even smell it on my skin after an hour. I won't be purchasing it but like I stated before if you like like sweet and floral, you might want to get a preview size to try it out!

Ah spring..time for me to retire my winter scents and get ready for florals and fruits.
lemon
Meyer Lemon is a light creamy yellow color with a classic picture of a bunch of lemons with one cut in half.

Yankee Candle describes this scent as " perfectly ripe, with a naturally sweet and refreshing scent."

It's a lemon scent that is creamy and lightly sweet. It's not too tart or too lemony where it's going to overwhelm its user. Doesn't remind me of cleaning supplies which I know is why some are turned off by lemon scents.

IMO:
I was so happy to see a lemon scent in the spring line up!! I personally love love love lemon scents and this is one of my favorite so far!! It has a nice medium throw that warms up the room with citrus creaminess. I am going to get a bunch of tumblers and tarts in this scent!! This makes a great everyday choice.

bflowersThis is one of the new scents for the Spring from Yankee Candle. It's a light pink/purple color and the cold throw smells strong and kind of sweet! I melted it today, even though it's not springtime and I'm still enjoying winter fragrances.
Yankee Candle's website says "the lovely scent of tuberose, lily, and hyacinth blossoms balanced with soft watery notes".

I this it's soft enough for a bedroom or bathroom yet has a strong enough throw for a family room. It's definitely a scent for the spring time, especially since I live near the beach. Nice and fresh even if it's not In that category.

IMO:
I think this a great scent for even those of you that don't particularly care for floral to try. I don't care for floral but this is a keeper to me. I will more than likely put this in the guest room once spring comes around.

I had an opportunity to check out some of the new spring scents from Yankee Candle.  I only picked up some of them so I figured I will review the ones I have in a separate post.  This is just to list them and let you know about them according to their website you can visit here –> Yankee Candle.

The new Spring 2012 Yankee Candle Scents are:
1. Beach Flowers
2. Beach Wood
3. Coastal Waters
4. Meadow Showers
5. Meyer Lemon
6. Pink Blush
7. True Rose
8. White Gardenia

Beach Flowers =\=
The website says “like delicate keepsakes from the sea, the lovely scent of tuberose, lily and hyacinth blossoms balanced with soft water notes.”    This fragrance is listed in the Floral category.  The label has different flowers, a sea shell, and what looks like a starfish all on top of some sort of beach grass.  Seems to fit the later spring months moving into summer.  

Beach Wood =\=
The website says “seasoned by the elements, this modern blend of vetiver, salt air and driftwood creates an intriguing fragrance.”  This fragrance is listed in the Fresh category.  The label has different types of sea shells, driftwood, and hearts made out of stone (I think) in a washed up beach scene. 

Coastal Waters =\=
The website says “clean and bracing, the rush of cool ocean spray from the breaking surf clears the mind and refreshes the soul.”  This fragrance is listed in the Fresh category.  The label has ocean water rushing up to smooth rocks. 

Meadow Showers =\=
The website says “daydreaming of a quiet escape, the naturally tranquil and airy scent of fresh raindrops of blades of green grass.”  This fragrance is listed in the Fresh category.  The label has different grasses with a pail filled with water which I’m sure it’s rain based on the scent description.

Meyer Lemon =\=
The website says “a bright and sunny citrus, perfectly ripe, with a naturally sweet and refreshing scent.”  This fragrance is listed in the Fruit category.  The label has a couple of lemons on it, one is sliced open.  It’s simplistic. 

Pink Blush =\=
The website says “graceful and feminine, a bouquet of soft pink blooms gently kissed with vanilla.”  This fragrance is listed in the Floral category.  The label has up close picture of flowers opening up with pink and green accents. 

True Rose =\=
The website says “alluring, rich and velvety, as fragrant as a special delivery of flawless deep red roses.”  This fragrance is listed in the Floral category.  The label has a red rose up close and water drops on the petals. Elegant!

White Gardenia =\=
The website says “so captivating!  The stunning royal beauty of lush white gardenias in full bloom.”  This fragrance is listed in the Floral category.  The label has an up close picture of the inside of a gardenia.  White, yellow center, green leaves in the background (barely noticeable).  Beautiful!
