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 a little weird with Cherries on Snow.
It feels like every year at the holidays, when Yankee Candle runs it back with their semi-annual clearance sale (affectionately known in this household as “the semi-anny”), there’s an over abundance of Cherries on Snow. I don’t quite know what to make of that. Is it that no one likes Cherries on Snow and there’s always a ton of them left over to mark down? Or, is it so popular that they make an insane amount of inventory in it? I don’t know. But, the more you dig into this candle, the more you’ll realize that everything about it is weird.
I ended up landing on this as a Valentine’s Day candle – elements of fruit…elements of winter…it just made sense. But, since the first time I smelled it many years ago, it has been one of my favorites at this time of year. Yankee’s fruit fragrances are among their strongest, and Cherries on Snow is no different. I can light this joint up and the whole house smells like cherries. But, where this candle really excels is in the hints of freshness that hit you on the back end of this sniff. It’s a weird pairing, but it’s worthy of a shot.
Recommended Burning: You’ve been snowed in for days. At this point, things are getting a little boring. You can only binge so much Netflix and eat so much soup before the lack of variety gets to you. You decide to spice it up, so you pick a cherry from the bunch in the kitchen and you show your partner how you can tie the stem in a knot with your tongue. It’s a very charging moment, and you both feel your sense of arousal awaken. Your partner lies on their back. You spread the bunch of cherries across their bare belly. You mount your partner, smushing the cherries with your bellies. That is when you should light Cherries on Snow.
