Hello, and welcome in to the latest edition of Yankee Candle Reviews here on SoBros Network. I will be your host – the Fragrance Aficionado of SoBros Network, also the EIC, Stoney Keeley. My passion for Yankee Candle began in 2006, when I strolled into the location in Providence Marketplace in Mount Juliet, Tennessee. I picked up a jar of Autumn Woods, and found it captured the essence of the season perfectly. I’ve been hooked in this…well, you could even call it ‘romantic…’ relationship with Yankee Candle ever since. Today, I’ll be sharing my thoughts on a longtime spring release, though it was my first time discovering it, Hydrangea.
I’m a sucker for a good straightforward floral scent at this time of the year – Hydrangea is just that. Straight flower. Not a lot fluff. No hints of sweetness. Not even a lot of freshness. Just straightforward ass flower. It’s right up there with Fresh Cut Roses at Valentine’s Day. And, really – as far as the pure floral scents go, it could be the best. I’m not going to throw hands with you if you want to suggest that. I was delighted to find this one on the shelves of my local Yankee Candle several weeks ago. It just aligns perfectly with the season.
I never knew that plain ol’ Hydrangea existed. I distinctly remember that loaded spring class of 2009 (I think…I could be wrong, but I think…) had a Blue Hydrangea in it. I’m not sure what the difference between the two is, but I know that they’re pretty similar. I’ve had a hard time finding Blue Hydrangea lately – it rarely shows up in the semi-anny sales or the returning favorites section, and it’s not like there’s an abundance of listing on eBay at any given moment. Considering it was one of my favorite spring scents, I’m over the moon to have found this. I just don’t know how to explain this boner to the guests in my house while it’s burning.
Recommended burning: At the earliest sights of the buds on the trees and buttercups blooming – those early spring days when the sun is warm during the day, but the cool breeze is refreshing on your bare butt cheeks as the sun sets.
