The new line of candles were being placed on the shelf when I walked in at Yankee Candle yesterday. 

The scents are:
1. Bright Copper Kettles
2. Warm Woolen Mittens
3. Raindrops on Roses
4. Moon on Their Wings
5. Blue Satin Sashes
6. Crisp Apple Strudel
I picked up three of the six in large jars since they were having a buy 2 get 2 free sale going on.  copperkettlesHere they are:

Bright Copper Kettles
Yankee’s description of this scent is “Whistling warming spices aglow, including cinnamon bark, clove buds, allspice and nutmeg.”  It’s everything I love about spicy scents.  I always look forward to burning these during the winter months.  It’s a wonderful mild fragrance based on the cold throw.  However, I am worried about how strong of a throw it will have when it is lit.

Warm Woolen Mittens
Yankee’s description of this scent is “Just cleaned and warmed by the stove . . . a cozy scent with notes of lemon, apple, lily and musk.”  I wasn’t going to get this scent since I wasn’t sure what it would be like.  I’m not a huge musk fan.  I only own a few scents that musk in them in both candles and body care.  I was pleasantly surprised with the beauty of this fragrance.  I haven’t burned it yet, but it’s like a winter time Soft Blanket, in my opinion.  Floral, fresh, snuggly and sweet all things I would want my hands embraced with while fighting the harsh cold.

Crisp Apple Strudel
Yankee’s description of this scent is “An Austrian favorite . . . golden and sugared on the outside, tart apples and brown sugar on the inside.”  I am super happy with this scent!  The best way I can describe it is Apple Pie and God Bless America had a baby.  It’s what I love about GBA, sweet apple-ly goodness.  Apple Pie has the great bakery crust and both have hints of cinnamon.  Love love love this!  I did start burning it (as soon as I got home from the store and made the YouTube video).  The cold throw is very inviting.  As I burn it, it was a little weak but has picked up now that I have let it reach a full wax pool and taken off the My Favorite Things illumalid. 

I will be grabbing the other scents the next visit to YC.  I want to get some more of these scents as well.  I have a feeling I’ll be burning these all thru November!

Enjoy!!

I am getting my list ready for a couple of orders.  I have decided I would go ahead and do a couple of bath and body product purchases from Skin-a-licious and Fortune Cookie soaps, along with some candle orders from Tempting Treats and Candles by Victoria!  I can’t wait!  Also, if you are ordering from Yankee Candle they are having a Buy 2 Get 2 sale!  Here’s the code: Q4B2G2

I got some jars of Jack Frost and Fresh Mint.  I love mint for the holidays!  I’ll post a couple of reviews from tarts I melted this past weekend.  They were from Haley’s Heavenly Scents, Grumpy Girl, Front Porch, and Candles By Victoria!  Until then I hope you are enjoying your week!

Here are my rings from my Diamond Candles.  I really like this company and will order from them again, however it is kind of a once in a while purchase.  I won’t go hog wild on purchasing these since they are $24.95 a piece and you can’t smell them first so make sure you read the descriptions on the website and it should be something that you think is going to be amazing.  I haven’t been disappointed at all and will continue to purchase them it will just be at a slower rate than the other companies. 

Here is my first ring: carnival candy picture

I love love love this scent! It smells like super sweet sugary cotton candy and it’s pink which is just a sweet sugary color, I mean it makes me think of bubble gum or taffy. Yum! It has a great throw!  I had it in my office and it easily made its way into the hallway and kitchen.  I would re order this scent for sure!

 

ring gold 1This ring was from my Carnival Candy candle. It’s pretty!  This is one of the $10 and too big to wear but it’s no big deal!

I love the prongs on this ring.  The setting sits high which I like, seeing the side of the center stone.

 

 

cinnamon roll ring

Here’s the ring from my Cinnamon Roll candle.  I like this one since it’s “silver”.  I don’t really wear that much gold unless it’s my second earring holes or white gold (my wedding band and engagement ring).  I know my rings that are white gold turn yellow after a while but we take them in for a fix up every so often.  <3  Anyway, I like the setting in this ring too.

 

cin roll symbolMy ever so yummy cinnamon roll candle!  I haven’t had a cinnamon candle that I have enjoyed as much as I have this one!  It’s just what I want when I think of a gooey cinnamon roll.  Excellent fragrance!  A perfect blend of bread, cinnamon, and gooey sugary sweet glaze!  I’m making myself hungry! =)  As I mention in my video review it reminds me of IKEA.  When we go there and look at all the cool stuff I don’t need, I always think of how yummy those rolls smell!  If I could just bottle it up, I would be happy!  Well, this is as close as I have gotten.  Love it!
