The production on this is insane. The prep figuring out how best to melt a candle in advance, and then obtaining like 6 ovens. The 50 gallon beer vat. Leaving nothing up to chance. The GRAPHICS?!?! The transition from voiceover to mic'ed audio just seamless. THE MATCHING FITS. I'm honestly so fucking impressed.

[@gwenarch6711]

I love how both Franken-candles have consistently been a color that fits Safiya’s vibe. Like, smoky, witchy, purple/ mauve just seems right. It’s giving modern witch who just got her nails done and wanted to try something a little more “colorful”

[@EmpressoftheLibrary]

My students have such a hard time understanding this concept when I try to explain it to them. - "Wait, so they celebrate Christmas in June?" - "No, they still celebrate it on December 25, but December is summertime there." - "Huh?" Not that I don't get tripped up sometimes myself. Years ago I was watching a Brazilian soap opera and asking myself how the characters could be wearing thin sleeveless dresses at an outdoor New Year's Eve party. It took me a few seconds to remember, "Oh, right, Southern Hemisphere, so it would be summer!"

[@winnie5873]

Hello! I worked at Yankee Candle for 7 years before landing my first ‘adult’ job. It was one of my favorite jobs in the world. I’m so happy you made a Frankencandle out of all of their scents 🥰 Just seeing you in the store brings back so much nostalgia, and you might be surprised to hear that the amount of candles you bought doesn’t even touch what some of our regulars would come in and buy! We divided our scents up by the Five “F”s: Fresh, Fruit, Floral, Food, Festive. I would have thought the Frankencandle mostly smelled of pine and cinnamon as those are very dominant scents in a Yankee store. Loved the video and I bet anything every candle fan is very excited to watch! 💕🕯

[@swampelf]

Was dividing the candles by the 5F scents a corporate practice or just something your store did to keep track of them all? I imagine it could be difficult to remember every scent and help customers find the one they want

[@winnie5873]

@@swampelf the 5F’s was a corporate practice, and you would be surprised how much you can familiarize yourself with every scent. After some practice it was easy to hone in on a specific scent someone was looking for.

I honestly hope you were able to sign up to get one and do get it. I want to know which f it would belong to from someone who probably can tell smells by those 5F's

[@toribinkley5251]

@@eyvettehenry9665If we’re using the 5 F’s, it would fall between the fresh and festive, but it really is musky, warm, a touch sweet and very cozy! It definitely blends them and would fall into the category we call “aromatic” now. (I still use the 5 Fs - even when I train, but they don’t encompass all the blends nearly as well as the newer categories!)
