Yankee Candle - what's your favorite scent?

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca — Wed, 26 Nov 2014 06:27:45 -0500

The Yankee Candle Company in Deerfield, MA is probably the most prolific maker of scented candles in the country. My wife and I have made our annual pilgrimage to the factory outlet in Deerfield (a 2 hour drive) since we were married and has become more special since the children came along. It has everything - candles, food, toys, Christmas decorations, candy, home goods - you name it. In the late fall, when we go, its all decked out for the holidays.

So what is your favorite scented candle?

Napalm? In the morning?

Actually, I like pine and spruce scents.

Ours is Spiced Pumpkin as pictured. It gives a real holiday smell. Amazing the scents they can capture. The cookie scents are absolutely mouth watering!

I myself tend to drift more with Bath and Body Works candles more than Yankee Candle. But my favorite ones are usually the holiday cookie ones or the ones that smell like vanilla cake.

It'd have to be Shooting Star. Smells like rocks, methane, and ammonia.

I love anything with pumpkin, vanilla, or something that reminds me of the ocean. Yankee candles are AMAZING, they just aren't cheap!
