Yankee Candle: CURRENT SCENT LIST

If you are anything like me, you like just reading fragrance DESCRIPTIONS. I close my eyes and imagine the possible scent combinations. Sometimes I just want to have a list of candles with similar notes, so I can find one similar to another one I like, since candle companies like to retire their scents every season/year. I've decided to keep track of Yankee Candle fragrance descriptions to help myself and the masses REMEMBER what the notes & descriptions are for their CURRENT online candles.

I have a lot of interest in fragrances from the past. There is a whole world of Yankee Candle COLLECTORS out there. I had no idea that was a thing! I don't have the resources to collect these, like I do My Little Ponies, because I don't have candles with trade in value.  Maybe I can figure out how to get my hands on some, despite my limited resources. I looked around in other blogs for scent descriptions and profiles on specific candles... but many blogs are unfinished or unorganized. I do recommend Andy's Candles for information, pictures, and reviews. He has an extensive candle collection.

This is a passion project of mine. Information will be updated as often as new fragrances are added and retired. I hope to create individual pages for each candle scent. It's a huge undertaking, but I'm up for the task. I hope to have one of the most comprehensive scented candle list on the internet. For now, I am concentrating on Current RETIRING Fragrances, as well as some older ones you will occasionally see profiled. There is a key code listed at the bottom for quick references on what the current status of each fragrance is. You will know when a fragrance is being retired, and what the description and notes are before Yankee pulls the info off the internet.

This is a huge undertaking. Any help, information, reviews and corrections are GREATLY appreciated. Send me an email, or feel free to leave comments. Without further ado, I give you

NBC News review: "The guys said they would burn 2 x 4 when they have house guests, but one of them remarked that it reminded him more of candy shop caramels rather than newly laid hardwood floors"

one review I found gave this candle's fragrance a 3/5 star rating.

Andy's Yankee Candles :

 "2X4 amazingly brings to life the smell of a woodshop. The smell of sawdust and oil is captured in this unique candle. Not my cup of tea but it’s certainly true to life!"

Other scents under Man Candles collection: Riding Mower, First Down, Man Town

My closing thoughts: 

This is definitely now a collector fragrance. I would love to just smell it to see if it smelled like the lumber area of a home depot. I worked at Home depot 10 years ago, so I'm super familiar with it. I hope they didn't add any musk or masculine cologne notes. I would enjoy this candle. I love the smell of sawdust and freshly cut wood. Maybe someday they'll bring this back. I have no idea how well it sold in 2012 & 2014, but people are more into mandles NOW than ever.

*Man Candles were only released as JARS or CAR JARS.

Have you tried the "2 X 4" Man Candle by Yankee Candles?

Tell me what you thought, Reviews are needed on this candle. Inquiring minds want to know what it smells like!

Yankee Candle Review: ALL IS BRIGHT

My Review for:   Yankee Candle- ALL IS BRIGHT

Size:  22 oz. Large Jar Candle

Yankee Candle Description: A blend of sparkling citrus scents drifting on warm musk.

                                            Fragrance Notes:

                                        Top: Grapefruit, Orange
                                        Mid: Red Currant
                                        Base: Sweet Musk

Warm, Sugar Sprinkled Currant w/ Citrus Notes.

I haven't bought many Yankee Candles the last couple of years, but I couldn't pass up their 5/55$ large candle deal. This is the first one I got and it's burning in my living room right now. On cold sniff, you are definitely hit in the face with a strong citrus smell. Mostly, I smell the grapefruit, but I also smell orange/orange peel, possibly mandarin leaf, and at the very base, almost a light floral undertone. I am assuming that is the musk base. Upon burning, It has a lovely soft warm body with notes of sugar and citrus. The main scent is the currant, which is a different scent in itself. Not a lot of candles smell like this. Blended all together, this is an inoffensive, inviting winter fragrance perfect for Netflix binge watching while the snow falls outside your window. It's like a warm fire wrapped in a hug. Lots of holiday candles smell the same, so if you want to try something other than apples and cinnamon, spicy and piney scents, give this candle a try. I give this scent 9/10. I would definitely repurchase. Added Bonus It has excellent throw.. It's throw is a 10/10. Out of the 5 candles I bought, this was my favorite and the most fragrant. My whole living room smells lovely from just this one candle sitting on my coffee table. All is Bright seems like a seasonal scent, as Yankee Candle is phasing it out of their online inventory. Hopefully we will see it again next year. I hope I grabbed an extra jar because not only do I love the smell of this candle, it  also makes a great gift since it's a scent everyone could enjoy. -Fragrance: 9/10 -Throw: 10/10 -Overall: A+ (it doesn't get much better than this!) Until Next Time, my Candle Subjects! 💗The Candle Queen
