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 getting in the Christmas spirit with Holiday Cheer.
Man, I just don’t know about these doo-doo candles. I mean, the Holiday Cheer fragrance is fine. But, I don’t think I’m going to be buying too many more of these little doo-doo candles. I call ’em “doo-doo candles” because they’re the perfect size for a small bathroom so you can light one up before a party and then none of your guests have to be self-conscious if they gotta go doo-doo. But, they burn so damn fast. I lit this thing up and in just two burns of approximately a couple hours each (I don’t actually remember), they were gone.
It’s like I always say…you just can’t beat the OG…the GOAT…the classic large jar from Yankee Candle. Nonetheless, about this fragrance….it’s definitely in that outside-the-box category of Christmas scents and Yankee definitely gets points for creativity. Holiday Cheer blends some of the spice and warmth of a traditional holiday candle with a little burning of alcohol. It’s like they spiked the candle with some rum! Tehehehehe. I would’ve loved to have gotten my hands on a large jar of this because I don’t think the doo-doo candle did it justice in my office. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for this one in the future.
Recommended Burning: You just got home from the holiday party. You had too much egg nog, and your boss had to toss you in a Lyft to get home safely. On the way home, you puked down the front of your holiday sweater. You get home and light Holiday Cheer to mask the smell of your own vomit.
