So it's after the holidays and I have been surfing the two companies (Yankee and B&BW) to see what deals they've been having. I already placed an order with B&BW for some soaps and a few candles. Yankee, however, I waited...as soon as they had a certain amount for 5 or 6. This sale it's 5 for $60. I picked up some regular candles and ... a Scenterpiece! Yay! I am super excited to try out this mess free interchangeable system. I have been putting it off just because I really didn't need to get sucked in to another warmer. But I love the idea of the cups..no ice to help pop out the wax, no left over fragrance to mix in with another. So many reasons. I am just worried that they will discontinue it. But it's a chance I am willing to take.

Well this was a pleasant surprise. I went to the SAS and found TF. Every once in a while I come across this candle and every single time I turn it down. I guess I was afraid it's going to be crazy sugary sweet...to the point of blowing it out never to be lit again. This time I went for it! Here are my findings.. 
According to Yankee Candle, Tutti-Fruitti is described as "Forever young . . . the happy candy aroma of a cherry, raspberry, strawberry and lemon whirly pop."
Tutti-Fruitti is a sugary scent for sure. I instantly get the same cherry scent from Cherry Lemonade and then the other fruity scents come in to play. I hear it described as fruit punch often. I agree! Just as fruit punch is a sugary mix of different fruit flavors.
I am drawn to this candle each time because of the beautiful label and the Cherry red wax. Each time I say no but I am so glad I took a chance this time around. After burning one time I went online and bought three more. Although nothing has replaced my beloved Country Lemonade, I feel that this is a fabulous addition to my collection and will use it sparingly.
Throw: 7
Category: Fruit
Behavior: A+. Flawless burn

Have been burning this for about a week and WOW!! It has a crazy throw! I could still smell it the next day when I woke up. I absolutely love fragrances that have a serious throw! I am really pleased with the wax pool. It formed quickly. However, once it had a deep wax pool, it had low flames. I don't quite understand how that work. I guess the flames were just big enough to keep it throwing and perfectly pooled.
This candle is definitely on my faves list!

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.
