Yanee Candle Review: EDELWEISS Easy Melt Cup

My Review for:   Yankee Candle- Edelweiss

                 

Yankee Description: "Experience the unspoiled beauty of an alpine meadow in the refreshing scent of delicate white flowers."

                                        

Fragrance Notes: 

Top:   Lily of the Valley, Green Watery

Mid:   Rose, Muguet
Base: Musk

Soft & White, Clean & Bright...

There is a strong floral presence upon taking off it's lid. I expected that, since my only real exposure to Edelweiss is the song from The Sound of Music. I knew it was a flower, and it doesn't grow in America. Hence, my curiosity on what it actually smelled like.  This is Yankee's version of Edelweiss. No Edelweiss is listed, but there is Lily of the Valley, Muguet & Rose in the notes. All together, the scent is a lovely, soft floral. No powder! That's so important to me when Rose is listed as a fragrance note. The best way I can describe it: a gentle floral w/ some green & soapy undertones. That's the Watery Green and the Musk. It's a great blend that doesn't lean "bathroom candle". It reminds me of expensive bubble bath or some type of spa-like Masseus's floral. I'd melt this while giving or recieving a massage. It's perfect for that. I can't imagine it offending anyone. It's also comforting & somehow familiar. I can't pinpoint why. Maybe it will come to me later. Melting Time!. It's more soapy on cold sniff, but it still reminds me of some type of higher end floral bubble bath. Something I would never buy for myself but would gladly receive as a gift. I wish it had a stronger throw. It's only really noticed w/ a more discerning nose. You know who you are...😉👃 I've used this a couple of times now. I really like it but my boyfriend's reaction has been consistently indifferent. I put this on the Scenterpiece, he walks in and asks me to light a candle. This has happened every time I've used Edelweiss. Mike doesn't have a sensitive nose, so he can't appreciate it's soft, subtle smell. Unless you have a super sniffer, this melt cup isn't strong enough to hold any sort of presence.   I wouldn't buy this again, at least not in melt cup form. I am interested in getting the candle. I would get it to mix w/ other floral or spa fragrances. I would just have to be careful the candle I mix it with doesn't drown out this pretty scent. If you have a nose like mine, and like light, clean smelling florals, you will like this. I recommend trying it, or at least, give it a sniff the next time your browsing the Yankee Candle store. -Fragrance:  8/10    -Throw:        4/10    -Overall:       C+ Until Next Time, my Illuminating Subjects!

YANKEE CANDLE WEBSITE REVIEWS

• AMAZING

"This has such a soft, not-too-sweet smell, just a relaxing, refreshing scent - my favorite by far! The name, Angel's Wings, is the perfect description."

• Soft and Sweet

I can see why this fragrance has broad appeal. It has one of those generic, blended scents that’s a combination of some beautiful notes that combine to produce the perfumed, ‘can’t quite put my finger on it’ types of fragrance. This is a softer blend than others such as Wedding Day, Lake Sunset and Pink Sands but for me, I put it in that same category to give me some reference.

• Nice and cozy!

"I really like this fragrance, if you are a fan of soft blanket I think you will love this scent. The first thing I thought when this melt started to bloom was wow this smells a lot like soft blanket, but at the same time it takes on a life of it's own with what I believe is the lightest touch of white flowers . I really enjoyed this fragrance and it has lasted more then 8 hours for me. "

• Not What I Expected

"I ordered this just to try as I usually do with the new scents. This one is not a winner with me , first I would question why they named it "Angel's Wings" as I smell nothing Heavenly about it. It has a hint of what I would call almost a vanilla cookie scent , but so faint that you can barely smell it when burning. The tart has no throw at all , I burned 2 at the same time and you wouldn't even know I had 1 burning. The tart has no throw at all , I burned 2 at the same time and you wouldn't even know I had 1 burning. Normally I get 2 burns from a tart. This new scent is very faint if detectable at all and the scent is basically a vanilla sugar cookie but with less scent. This is not a winner in my opinion."

• Description Doesn't Match Scent-Don't Like At All!

"The description of this scent sounds like a scent I would really like. I usually love vanilla based scents & the soft flower scent mixed in would be right up my alley, so the only thing I can assume I don't care for is the sugar part of this particular tart-it actually smells like something is burning in the oven! I've tried a couple of them & even tried mixing it with other scents, but that "burnt" smell comes through. I assumed it was just me until my husband came home one day while I had one in an electric warmer thinking that might help-he immediately asked me if I had baked something during the day & burnt it, so I KNOW it's not just me! I even tried one of the votives I ordered in this scent & had the same experience. Perhaps I just got a bad batch because I usually love these type of scents, however, I don't think I've ever ordered one with the sugar scent in it-that's why I assume it's the sugar smell that is not going over well at all. I was hoping for a smooth vanilla type smell & instead got the scent of what seems to smell like I had a bad "baking" day in the kitchen! I do not like this at all & wouldn't recommend it. NOONE complimented positively about this scent the few times I tried it which is also something I take into consideration when deciding if I'd order it again or give it a good review. I don't know what I'll do with the 5 tarts I have left as nothing I've tried has made them smell any better-be aware that the description on this one is very deceiving compared to the actual scent itself."

• Great Smell Strong Throw

"This has to be one of my favorites. The vanilla smell is so soft and pretty, yet has a great throw. Used half a tart in a medium warmer and it lights up a large sized living room nicely. Absolutely will be back for this one.. wish I had ordered more!"

Yankee Candle Rating: 4/5 Stars
