I received this selection of Yankee Candle Christmas fragrances (known as "Christmas Memories") as a gift in 2018. The collection contains twelve different candle fragrances, and eight of these are fragrances only available in the United States. Over the Christmas holidays, I used these candles. I do have some favourites, so keep reading to find out what I thought.
Cherries In The Snow (USA Exclusive):
This was one of my two favourites of the fragrances. It is a strong-smelling fragrance, and it filled the room with a pleasant cherry smell. The scent is described as having a fruity cherry scent with almonds and an icy freshness.
Red Berry & Cedar (USA Exclusive):
Provided as a bright red candle, this is a festive scent with warming cedar and red currant berry, which I found to be a warming and festive scent that I enjoyed.
Christmas Thyme (USA Exclusive):
Thyme, lemongrass, and sandalwood provide an earthy festive scent. I loved the scent of this candle, but it did not burn at all for me. The candle kept putting itself out. I didn't have the problem with the other candles, so I imagine it was a faulty candle or the wick was not thick enough.
Candy Cane Lane (USA Exclusive):
Peppermint, cookies, and vanilla icing are combined to create this fresh and sweet scent. This was a little too sweet for my enjoyment.
White Christmas (USA Exclusive):
Evergreens and a woody and frosty smell help bring the outdoors inside when this candle is lit. I enjoyed the fragrance, but it did not have a long throw.
Balsam Cedar (USA Exclusive):
Another pleasant and earthy smell, this was my second favourite scents in the collection, next to the cherry scent. The scent reminded me of a fresh pine tree and has a natural scent with juniper berry and cedar.
Bubbly Pomegranate (USA Exclusive):
A fresh and fruity scent, this candle smells delicious as fruit punch. It is a citrus blend, and I enjoyed the scent, but the throw of the candle was not as strong as I would have liked.
Christmas Eve:
This is another sugary and sweet scent with festive candied fruits and sugar plums in a warm house. The scent has a good throw, but it is not one of the scents that I enjoyed. I found it too sweet.
Red Apple Wreath:
Sweet apples, cinnamon, and maple are some of the fragrances that create this blend. I enjoyed the scent, but it did not have a strong throw at all.
Christmas Cookie:
The sweet and sugary fragrance of 'Christmas Cookie' is a buttery and vanilla scent. I am not keen on this scent at all and do not like the sweet or vanilla scents. This one did have a good throw, but it just was not the scent for me.
Christmas Memories:
Spices and sweets and blended together to create a vintage festive "homely" smell, and this one brought me back to my childhood and reminded me of what I think Mrs. Claus' kitchen would smell like! The scent was okay, but it's too sweet.
Holiday Lights (USA Exclusive):
A fragrance inspired by sparkling Christmas lights, this is a fresh/cold scent with jasmine and praline. It's another one of the sweet scents that I do not care for.
