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 the quite unusual Christmas scent, Cascading Snowberry.
Alright, you guys – it’s our third of three holiday fragrances that we’re covering this year on Yankee Candle Reviews. So, I’m going to write this blurb and get on out of here. I got two weeks of vacation lined up to spend time with friends and family, and I’m ready to get to it. If y’all have been around here long enough to get to know me, then you know all too well that I like shit that’s different when it comes to Yankee Candle. Don’t get me wrong – I have a very strict rotation of the classics based on the season. But, when I’m feeling a little riled up and frisky, I love to explore the more unique corners of the Yankee Candle universe. That’s exactly what we have here today with Cascading Snowberry.
I’m so glad I found this one at last Christmas’ semi-anni because there’s kind of a no man’s land between Christmas and the spring where there aren’t a lot of fragrances tailored to the time of year. I love the Earthy stuff in January, and this fits the bill. It’s equal parts Christmas wreath and ivy. Heavy on the plant smell, it’s like Red Berry & Cedar met and had a baby with Lucky Shamrock. I’d actually prefer to burn this one after the holidays because it plays well without the warmth and spice of a Christmas candle, but still fits the profile of winter’s frigid kiss.
Recommended Burning: You’ve just come in from trimming the bushes in the middle of January. You don’t know how you got out there. You don’t know why. Did you take your medication today? We can’t remember. We don’t even know what snowberries are and yet we have them all over us. Is the snowberry just a construct of our own imaginations? Who’s to say what’s real and what’s simulation anymore? We light our Cascading Snowberry candle from Yankee Candle.
