Yankee Candle’s website describes this scent as:
A fresh, green coastal breeze of bamboo leaf, bergamot and lemon verbena with hints of white orchid.
Now, not to be confused with Green Grass, this one has more of an ocean/beachy scent to it. Even though it has bergamot and lemon verbena it’s not a super strong scent, it’s actually sweet and mild. Excellent for summer days or nights where you just want to pretend for a moment you are walking on a white sandy beach, without smelling pure salt water or suntan lotion. Relaxing.
This is actually discontinued but you can find it right now online for the SAS. If you are interested in trying it out, you can’t be the price! I stocked up on this in tart form. Even though I live 10 minutes away from the beach, sometimes I just don’t have time to go there and having this scent melting in the office (AKA the candle room) I can relax, close my eyes and think of walking on the sand as the sun sets…ah summer.

Throw: Medium
Worth It: Yes, if you want to try a grassy scent that doesn’t smell like fresh cut grass.

I, of course, picked a scent called Lemon Tea Party to be apart of this purchase. No surprise when I tell you it’s the first scent I picked to melt =).
The website describes this scent as
The soothing scent of black tea blended with tart juicy lemon!
Break off a piece of this soy blended wax and place in your tart burner.
This was strong …right after I made the video about the purchase I couldn’t hold back. I had to break a piece off and melt it right away. I was in lemony tea heaven! I only had one piece in…one piece! I didn’t even give it time to sit for days to see if the scent would get stronger…..I couldn’t resist!!! It smells like a freshly brewed cup of hot tea with a lemon wedge. Amazing! I felt like I should be drinking daintily from a antique-ish tea cup. Refreshing and relaxing without the caffeine!

OH you better believe this one will be purchased many times!
According to Kim’s website, this scent is described as
“fresh, creamy and tart lemon with hints of crust”
Kim has one of the best selection of lemon scents. I noticed that I hadn’t tried all of them so I thought I would add this one to my cart. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this fragrance. Usually biscotti scents vary and they might have sweet fennel/anise notes added to them. Knowing that, I wasn’t sure if it would really work with a sweet, creamy lemon, in my opinion. I was really impressed with this once I opened the bag. I could smell the sweet lemon and the wonderful bakery note. Not to be confused with her Lemon Meringue Pie that has that tart custardy note along with a meringue note.
This is what I thought her Lemon Pound Cake was going to smell like, dense bakery/cake-y note with a lemony vanilla glaze/frosting. It’s not as dense as LPC but you do get hints of crust or cake in this divine mix which I feel really helps the lemon POP. Delish!
I am happy to have another phenomenal lemon scent to add to my ever growing list of favorites! This will please any bakery connoisseur and will be a huge hit with the lemon lovers. The overall throw was amazing as well. It filled my kitchen, great room, and made it all the way down the hall and into the spare bedrooms.

Perfect!
Good ol Granny Smith….I like to refer to this one as an actually person because this candle has a personality. Yankee describes this candle as a fresh green apple. She is just that, a fresh green tart crisp apple. If you were to stick your nose right over this jar, it is almost too tart! I love it though because that’s what I think of when I eat green apples. I never know if it’s going to be a sweet mellow tart or a WHOA WOW tart. She has a wonderful throw, I would put it about a medium to strong and it’s just like it smells cold. Sweet, tart and refreshing!
Granny doesn’t disappoint, except in her behavior. I don’t know if all of the jars in this fragrance are naughty but mine would not stay straight. Her wick constantly shifted to the side and only burn one area…you can actually see it in the picture above. After burning this candle for an entire day, with cozies and an illumalid did she finally correct herself and got an even wax pool.
I would recommend this scent to any of you that love fruit scents, especially sweet/tart apples. It’s a must try/have. Just be warned…she needs constant care…after all she is a granny.
4.5 – I would give her a 5 but she was a tunneling disaster.

Even though coconut scents can be a bit overwhelming Kim’s Coconut Cream Pie is a nice creamy lightly coconut dessert/bakery fragrance. Great for those of you that dream of coconut cream pie and would like to have the lingering aroma of this delicious sweet treat in your home. You definitely get the creamy, sweet custard like filling…love it. As for the throw, it was a lot lighter than I thought it was going to be. Most of the time, Kim’s tarts are pretty strong. Don’t get me wrong, it was able to fill a small room easily, but I don’t think it would fill my great room.
I would give this a 5 out of 5 but it was not as strong as I would like it to be. I will

When I first heard about this candle I was unsure about it. I am not a big fan of super strong, tropical drink coconut scents. This is definitely different. Even though the picture is pretty tropical and when you smell this cold you might be turned off by how strong it is….don’t be! It’s a wonderfully mellow coconut scent…more like the meat and less like a bottle of tanning oil or a pina colada. It smells like it might have a little be a lime note added, but it doesn’t seem to stick around long. Even though most of my WJ candles are super strong, this one is nice, it’s the perfect. Reminds me of the shredded coconut or if you buy fresh coconut from the store. There’s no added sweetener to this delectable fruit, pure goodness. I am burning a two wick medium tumbler that I purchased from my local TJMaxx. The picture above is a large two wick tumbler also purchased from TJMaxx.
