HOLIDAY 2024 🎁 a new collection from Yankee Candle 🎁 first impressions

[@Fragrance_Junkiee]

Welp, I guess I'll be enjoying the Winter fragrances I already have from Yankee that are actually pretty good versus purchasing this new holiday collection 😂. I'm so glad you picked up Leather Oak, I love that one!

It's too bad that they have been struggling with scents, I still really like this company. I'll burn the ones I have. Thanks for the insight.

I also use my illumalids on B&BW 1 wicks and other smaller diameter candles, they have come in handy. I may have to try Munich Christmas Market. Slatkin Glazed Gingerbread is a really authentic version of the non- chocolate lebkuchen to me and I love it, so I may have to compare them.

You can only use illumalids on 1 wick candles. Never ever use on a 2 wick. They make 2 wicks light completely on fire. Trust me. I was warned so many times and thought, 1 wick, 2 wick, not a huge difference, then almost lost my house when both two wicks went up within an hour of being lit. Saved my home, lost a wooden table and almost lost my hand.

I got the collection in melts and cups, except Munich and Sydney. I haven’t bought Christmas scents in years, but thought I’d try them out since they didn’t sound like traditional types. It’s always interesting to me how different noses get different things. Yankee used to have a candle called Christmas At The Beach. The Sydney one might be good to get on a discount and save for Christmas in July or just summer. I’ll probably get Sydney in a three wick since I like white florals. I don’t mind out of the box and creative ideas for Christmas, since I honestly don’t like Christmas for several personal reasons and the traditional fragrances seem to remind me of that fact. I don’t get a lot of sweetness from the North Pole one and no marshmallow. Maybe the Christmas London Tea is supposed to invoke a fancy London tea room during afternoon high tea, rather than just the tea itself. I would have preferred if it was just spiced tea though…I don’t get palo santo and sage from it. I get raspberry preserves in the Paris one…not my favorite, but not terrible either. The Big Apple Christmas is alright, but I don’t like confectionery fragrances as much as others seem to. I wasn’t expecting too much in general from the collection, but there’s nothing I can’t stand and will melt through it all.🫖

Christmas in July! Great idea!!

Cookies by the Fire has been out before. I don’t think it did well, but mostly because there was no throw. The scent was meh to me, but if they fixed the performance, it could be one that does better this time.

[@coffeecandles3359]

That sounds about right 🤣

It's sad beige baby Christmas 😆
