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 going to force fall early with a sniff of Autumn Lodge.
Yes, I’m aware that it still feels like it’s over a hundred degrees out here in the Middle Tennessee region. But, I can’t help myself. Maybe it’s a weird psychological thing…like, if I just make the house look, smell, and feel like fall, it won’t be so hot outside. I don’t know. Maybe it’s just that I ran out of new summer candles to review! Whatever the case may be, we’re going to look ahead to the upcoming change in seasons on this month’s edition of Yankee Candle Reviews.
I don’t know what it is about a lodge, but that sumbitch better smell like tobacco! We can’t be having a lodge without it. I’m a sucker for a tobacco fragrance, so it’s automatically going to earn points in my book if a candle has it. That’s my favorite thing about Autumn Lodge, a candle that has been saturating shelves at the last two semi-anny sales. But, I don’t have any complaints. It’s a nice little change of pace from the cinnamons and pumpkins of the Yankee Candle catalog. If you want to join me in this insane game of make believe in which we pretend it’s fall even though it feels like an oven outside, then fire this one up with me.
Recommended Burning: You arrive at your family’s cabin in the woods. It’s been in your lineage for generations at this point, and today, it becomes your full time home. Your wife just left you, so you’re embarking on the next chapter of your life alone. Through tears, wondering why how your life ended up so broken, you catch a glimmer of light through the trees. The sunset illuminates the mountains, and you notice how the erupt with color. It’s a brief reprieve from the wreckage of your shitty life. That is when you go inside and light up Autumn Lodge.
