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 back to where it all started for me…Autumn Woods.
That’s right. It’s been in the introductory paragraph for this series for I don’t know how long. I bring it up every chance I get to whoever will listen. This is the candle that started it all for me. Before Autumn Woods, I thought every candle was just cinnamon, linen, or lavender. This candle opened my mind to the creative genius of Yankee Candle, and I’ve been a fan ever since. I love its combination of the dead leaves and the dirty ground with the subtle sweetness of fall. To this day, it’s still my all-time favorite Yankee Candle. When I saw a deal for a medium jar on eBay, I had to take it. It’s probably been 15 years since I smelled this candle – let’s pop that top again.
Recommended Burning: The sunlight catches you just right, warming your bare chest as it filters through the leaves in the trees. You hear the wind blowing and leaves rustling as they gently cascade down around you. It sends a chill down your spine – the warmth from the sun, the cool breeze. The cops come up and ask you to put your clothes on and leave the park. That is when you burn Autumn Woods.
