Yankee Candle Review

Ever since my birthday back in October, when I was given a three piece gift set, I have been hooked on Yankee Candles. I am yet to find any other candles that smell exactly how they are described. The florals are strong and fresh, the food inspired smell delicious, and the fresh scents are calming and homely. Unfortunately here in Australia, there are no Yankee stores and candles can only be found overpriced and in limited supply in few stores or online. In Australian stores, the small jars are $24 compared to the American price of $11, and large jar candles are $50, while America prices at $28. Also, because of the small supplies, Australian stores never offer sales. Currently on the American website, many large jar candles are on sale for $14, which means in Australia, you pay a crazy 72% more!

Floral scents: Midnight Jasmine, French Lavender and Garden Hideaway (small jars).
Food and Spice scent: Be Thankful smells like pumpkin and apple pies, cinnamon and fresh bread.
Votives in Kitchen Spice, Creamy Caramel, Vanilla Cupcake, Vanilla Lime and Lemon Lavender.

Christmas Cookie smells like freshly baked cookies with sugary vanilla icing.
