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 rare season-less fragrance, Mountain Lodge.
It’s one of the most versatile fragrances in the entire Yankee Candle catalog. There – I said it. If y’all know me, y’all know how much of a stickler I am for burning fragrances in season. Pumpkin candles in the fall. Coconut candles in the summer. That’s why it might almost sound like blasphemy to hear me acknowledge that some of Yankee Candle’s best stuff is indeed season-less. But, that’s exactly what we have with Mountain Lodge.
It’s an all-timer, drawing upon layers of fragrance that pull from a myriad of seasons. I get the cool, fresh air of the fall. I get the musk of a cologne with the hints of sawdust that remind me of trips spent as a kid in the Smoky Mountains. I’m officially taking the limitations off with Mountain Lodge – it’s a great transition candle from late summer into early fall (I’ll start burning it here in a week or two). It’s a great candle during the winter time. And, you can even light it up in the spring time when you’re oh so close to the warmth of the great outdoors once again. Mountain Lodge is an elite candle that you can burn no matter what the candle says.
Recommended Burning: You just went skinny dipping in the lake. The sun is beginning to set and the slightest chill comes over your nude body as you stand and admire the painting that the sun has done across the sky. You run inside where your partner has started a fire. The smell of musk and burning wood fills the air. You go upstairs to change, but your partner stops you and you make love right there on the cabin’s dining room table.
