I just now got my fall scents!  I am so excited about these fragrances.  I always get excited during the semi annual sale and they have the new scents sitting by the register.  Even though it's hot as crap outside and the last thing I am thinking about is fall.  Two of them are online exclusives (Cranberry Twist and Brandy Pear Tart).  Let's get started shall we?

 First up is Cranberry Twist - I love cranberry!!  It reminds me of Thanksgiving and Christmas and seeing how those are my two favorite holidays it would make total sense.  The ginger and citrus really blends quite well with the cranberry.  It smells much brighter than other cranberry scents.

"About This Fragrance

A medley of sharp berries, a hint of citrus zest, and a dash of fresh ginger make a refreshing concoction."





This scent is interesting.  I guess I was expecting more mint and eucalyptus but I think the pear and sage really tone the other notes down.  I really don't get a lot of the eucalyptus and the mint, however, it is definitely a fall fresh scent. "About This Fragrance

With the crisp scents of eucalyptus and mint layered beneath soft pear and sage, it's like that first deep breath of bright, clean air on a morning far, far away."



Autumn in the Park was the one I fell in love with straight out of the box. This is fresh apples (Macintosh) with a touch of pumpkin.  Don't think just because it has pumpkin and apple that it is Apple Pumpkin because you would be miss out!  this is such a great signature fall scent. 

"About This Fragrance

The scent of fresh peeled apple and the crispness of fallen leaves--it's definitely fall. We've added in a dash of lemon zest and a hint of pumpkin to capture an afternoon on a gorgeous autumn walk."


I am super excited to try this fragrance!  This is the other one that is an online exclusive but I had to have this.  I am glad I picked up two because I love how it smells cold.  It smells like a pear tart..super yummy! SUPER sweet pear and brandy mingling in this wax melt.  You do you get some bakery notes but it is not the main thing you smell.  

"About This Fragrance

The rich scent of baked pear in a sugary confection with a hint of brandy--a delicious reminder of your favorite café pastries."


Lush Berries was another fragrance I was really wanting to try since I loved BBWs Summer Berries and I pretty much love things berry.  This smells like it has grapes, blackberries, blueberries and maybe a touch of raspberries.  Sweet and jam like.  

"About This Fragrance

A basket of just-picked berries, sweet and juicy and full with harvest sun—savor the freshness."



I was suckered in when I saw the picture on the label.  Is that a churro?  What ever it is, I am all about it.  This reminds me of Be Thankful but it has of course spice because it's in the name.  It isn't a choke you to death cinnamon so if you are willing to try out something with a little bit of spice to it, this might be an option. 

"About This Fragrance

A mouthwatering swirl of cinnamon, buttery vanilla, and sugar crystals all baking together—guaranteed to fill your home with smiles."





I will be honest, this didn't sound like something  would like.  I have tried alcohol type scents before and they are just odd, in my opinion. This one, however, has changed my mind.  I actually really like how warm and "bourbon" like this is..Now as I stated on my YouTube video...I don't sit around smelling bourbon so I might be missing some key elements here but this is a very warm and creamy vanilla.  Definitely makes fr the perfect vanilla fall scent.  "About This Fragrance

A traditional warm-me-up on a cold winter's day--a mug full of something steaming topped with a layer of thick vanilla cream and laced with a dash of strong bourbon."

I don't know if I have ever really reviewed this scent.  No, it's not a new one but it is definitely a scent that I love very much.  Even before I had Miss C I always found this scent to be one of those scents that reminds me of a nursery or baby laundry.  A comforting scent which makes you feel snugly, safe and warm.

Yankee's description of this scent is "Wrapped in sweet dreams . . . a lullaby of clean citrus, luxurious vanilla and warm amber."  

 I get the amber and the slight sweetness of vanilla but most of all it reminds me of fresh laundry and that is where the clean citrus comes in to play.  I like to burn this after Miss C takes her bath.  It makes her baby fresh bathroom linger with extra cuteness.  When I walk by and smile because my thoughts are of her wrapped in her towel or snuggled in one of her baby blankets.
As far as the throw goes, I think it does a pretty bang up job.  I remember the first time I tried this scent, it was a votive and it filled an entire bedroom all by it's lonesome.
The only thing I am missing with this is the lack of Scenterpiece cup.  Something tells me I am out of luck with that though.
If you like fresh laundry scents then this one should already be in your collection.

Alright so here’s what I picked up from Yankee!

Jars

6 Shortbread Cookie
2 Oatmeal Cookie
3 Key Lime Pie
2 Lemon Zest
2 Star Fruit and Orange
4 Be Thankful
1 Berry Jam
1 Country Kitchen Line – Chocolate Cake
2 Country Kitchen Line – Fresh Baked Goods

I didn’t go TOO over board …just picked up a lot of shortbread cookie since it’s one of my favorites!  I actually didn’t buy any tarts nor did I pick up any accessories.  There wasn’t much that I wanted this go around.  Did you go to the SAS?   Did you pick up anything?  I am going to head back to the store next week and grab the fall scents to review.
