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, we’re talking about a versatile scent that can play well any time of the year, Smoked Vanilla & Cashmere.
As much as I’m a sucker for a Yankee Candle that perfectly sets the atmosphere for a festive time of year, I’m as much a sucker for a Yankee Candle that can fill the air well any time of the year. I’m actually a sucker for any Yankee Candle is what I’m saying here. Smoked Vanilla & Cashmere combines two incredibly comforting feelings – the warmth of a fire…be it the roaring fire of a cold winter’s day or the backyard bonfire on those summer nights outside…and the feeling of fresh linens beneath your tushy. Those things play well no matter the season. Vanilla is timeless in its own right, but the cashmere that complements it never goes out of season. The smoky undertones of this candle can remind you of cozying up with a movie as snow falls in the cold months or the grill sizzling in the summertime. I also think Smoked Vanilla & Cashmere plays particularly well as a gift candle too – vanilla and cashmere are basic fragrances that are universally loved, and you can’t quite go wrong with. But, the smoke gives the candle a unique enough twist that you won’t be gifting a regular ol’ basic ass candle. Keep this one in mind when you’re struggling with that one person you gotta get a gift for this holiday season.
Recommended Burning: You’ve spent a long day at the lake with a roaring fire to enjoy the smell of the wood burning in the air. The fire spread within you and struck you and your friends so that you all decided to go skinny dipping in the lake, exploring each others bodies as the sun danced across the moving surface of the lake. After everyone was finished or had been finished, you all come inside to change clothes. Luckily, the maid has fresh cashmere laundry ready for you all to change into.
