Delicious Scents Part 2

Colonial's Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb

This candle is very reminiscent of strawberry rhubarb jam. I preferred this particular scent over Yankee's Sweet Strawberry because Colonial's smelled more authentic. Sweet Strawberry is good, don't get me wrong, but it was more like a flavor than a scent; like Bonne Bell Lip Smackers. Fresh Strawberry Rhubarb is very faint when it burns, so if you are looking for something strong, check out Sweet Strawberry instead.

Delicious Scents

Yankee's Black Cherry

Wow, from the instant I popped open the lid the black cherry fragrance came screaming out. I know many friends and family members who have raved to me about this candle, so once I finally gave it a whirl I discovered just how right they all were. If you, like me, are into fruit scents, this is one of the best.

Friend Favourites

I recently asked two of my bestest gal pals what candles they liked the most. Noel's pick was Yankee's Vanilla Cupcake and I absolutely love it. It is exactly like a lemon cake with ton of delectable homemade vanilla icing. It's definitely one of the most edible tasting candles ever made. Nice choice, Noel.

Rebecca, on the other hand, likes Yankee's Lemon Lavender. It's more lemon than lavender which means it is tangy and refreshing which equals totally fabulous. Superb selection, Rebecca. Definitely check these two scents out, pronto!

Cashmere & Leather

Two nice alternatives to the usual fruit and floral scents are WoodWick's Cashmere and Colonial's Leather. Cashmere's sweet scent smells, to me, like orchids blooming in a botanical garden; it's really refreshing. Leather, on the other hand, burns with a comforting woodsy aroma and reminds me of the smooth leather interior of my Grandad's Cadillac. Both truly sensationally scents.
