Bath & Body Works 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 matching notes, so I can find one similar to another one I like. Candle companies like to retire their scents every season/year, so the lists are always changing. I've decided to keep track of BATH & BODY WORKS (B&BW) Candle/Home fragrance descriptions to help myself and the masses REMEMBER what the notes & descriptions are for their CURRENT online candles, room sprays & wallflowers.

This is a passion project of mine. Information will be updated as often as new fragrances are added and retired. It's a huge undertaking, but I'm up for the task. I hope to have some of the most comprehensive scented candle lists on the internet.There will be 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 B&BW pulls the info off the internet.

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

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.

                           CANDLE THOUGHTS#1

   

 I wanted to write this while it was  still fresh on my mind....

I get mad a lot. It's not your everyday mad either. We affectionately call it, "Hurricane H******", and you don't want to be in her path when she starts blowing. Mike and I recently had a rather passionate discussion about Hurricane H******. I was telling him that Hurricane H****** is definitely a force of nature, but he's lucky he has never met Tornado H******. 
She is TERRIFYING because you get no warning. She comes out of nowhere and destroys everything in the vicinity, tearing it all to pieces, until there is only tattered remains. Sometimes, there's nothing left. Then, as quickly as she came, she retreats back into the sky from where she came, like nothing happened. Mike thought Tornado H****** wasn't as bad as Hurricane H******, but he was dead wrong. I know because I've seen her. I LIVED her.

This then lead to the question, which is more deadly, a hurricane or a tornado?
Well, of course we had to Google this, and we couldn't really come to an agreement. It's true, Hurricanes have killed more people, but they last much longer than tornadoes. Hurricanes bring floods... But I would still rather have a hurricane coming at me, than a tornado. I've always been terrified of tornadoes. I think this is why they've always fascinated me. I couldn't learn enough about them, I've watched Twister more times than I care to admit. I had a book all about them, with a menacing looking black F3 in the front cover. I read the whole thing, but became so scared, I couldn't even look at the book cover anymore. It gave me nightmares. I hid it under my parents bed and forgot about it, until we moved and we found it, many years later.

What in the world does this have to do with candles, you ask?

From time to time, I'm going to blog about some random thoughts, while burning one of my candles, I find this to be quite therapeutic, though I question if anyone will ever read this... Regardless, these are thoughts I have to put somewhere, so why not my blog?

I'm currently burning my wonderful Tranquil Mist, my most trustworthy candle. I picked it MOSTLY because of the Tranquil part. Aromatherapy is a real thing. It's nice to breathe in the light & musky floral scent, while my dog Scout cuddles up next to me. The anger dissipates and I become lighter and lighter as it fades away. Much like a hurricane. :-)

Even after Hurricane H****** happened, Mike came home with McDonald's. I noticed the bag was a bit heavy for just a Fish Filet. Lo and Behold, under my sandwich was a beautiful little pink candle! Not just any candle, it was a Yankee Candle that smells like a Watermelon Jolly Rancher.

Is it any wonder why I love this man? <3

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
