Yankee Candle have recently released their Under The Desert Sun collection, which includes Aloe & Agave, Desert Blooms, Stargazing, and Sweet Vanilla Horchata, and being the Candle addict that I am, as soon as I had heard that they had been released, I obviously had to hop on to their Website and pick them all up. Well i’ve been burning them for a little while now, and I thought that I would tell you what I thought of them.,

Here’s what Yankee Candle say about all four delicious smelling Candles.

The Yankee Candle Aloe & Agave.

It’s scent.

I absolutely loved it’s scent, as even though it contained Cactus Water, Coriander, and Tea Leaves, I thought that it had a delicious fresh and grassy yet ever so slightly watery Aloe Vera scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you walk past an Aloe Vera Plant on a boiling hot Summer’s Day. I could definitely smell the Cactus Water, Aloe, Blue Lotus, White Peony, Mineral Woods, Tea Leaves, and Agave, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious fresh and grassy yet ever so slightly watery Aloe Vera scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Lemon, Coriander, or Musk, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

It’s scent throw.

I really liked it’s scent throw, as this managed to fill my Room and the entire top floor of my House with it’s delicious fresh and grassy yet ever so slightly watery Aloe Vera scent that lasted for hours even after I had blown it out.

It’s burn time.

It said that you were supposed to get up to 150 hours of burn time out of this, but as I always kept my Wick trimmed, I easily got at least 160 hours of delicious fresh and grassy yet ever so slightly watery Aloe Vera scent out of it.

It’s scent.

I really liked it’s scent, as even though it contained Cypress, Rose Petals, and Aldehydes, I thought that it had a delicious sweet and floral yet ever so slightly masculine Rose and Sage scent to it that kind of reminded me of the scent you smell whenever you walk past a Man who’s wearing some really floral smelling Cologne on a boiling hot Summer’s Day. I could definitely smell the Sparkling Bergamot, Cypress, Driftwood, Aldehydes, Rose Petals, and Dried Sage, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious sweet and floral yet ever so slightly masculine Rose and Sage scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Saguaro Cactus, Vetiver, or Musk, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

It’s scent throw.

I was actually a little bit disappointed by it’s scent throw, as even though this smelt really strong in it’s Jar, it was unfortunately one of those scents that I only really noticed once I had gone out of and had come back into the Room again.

It’s burn time.

It said that you were supposed to get up to 150 hours of burn time out of this, but as I always kept my Wick trimmed, I easily got at least 155 hours of delicious sweet and floral yet ever so slightly masculine Rose and Sage scent out of it.

It’s scent.

I really liked it’s scent, as even though it contained Mineral Air, Violet, and Sandalwood, I thought that it had a delicious deep and woody yet ever so slightly medicinal Lavender and Sandalwood scent to it that kind of reminded me of some very high end Men’s Hotel Shower Gel. I could definitely smell the Mineral Air, Eucalyptus, Lavender, Rose Petals, and Sandalwood, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s delicious deep and woody yet ever so slightly medicinal Lavender and Sandalwood scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Lilac, Geranium, Violet, or Vanilla Sugar, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

It’s scent.

I wasn’t really a massive fan of it’s scent, as even though it contained Sweet Yuzu, Velvet Jasmine, and Cardamom, I thought that it had a very overwhelming sweet and creamy yet ever so slightly burnt Vanilla scent to it that kind of reminded me of if someone had accidentally burnt some Vanilla infused Butter. I could definitely smell the Rice Milk, Sweet Yuzu, Soft Rose, Stone Fruit, Sandalwood, Cardamom, and Vanilla, as I thought that they were all what gave it it’s very overwhelming sweet and creamy yet ever so slightly burnt Vanilla scent, but I couldn’t really smell any of the Orange Peel, Velvet Jasmine, or Amber, as I thought that all of the other scents kind of overpowered them a little.

My overall thoughts.

Overall I would have to rate the Yankee Candle Aloe & Agave a nine out of ten, the Yankee Candle Desert Blooms an eight out of ten, the Yankee Candle Stargazing an eight out of ten, and the Yankee Candle Sweet Vanilla Horchata a six out of ten. I really liked the Yankee Candle Aloe & Agave, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious fresh and grassy yet ever so slightly watery Aloe Vera scent, it’s scent throw, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it was part of their main range. I really liked the Yankee Candle Desert Blooms, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious sweet and floral yet ever so slightly masculine Rose and Sage scent, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it’s scent throw had been a little bit stronger. I really liked the Yankee Candle Stargazing, as I absolutely loved it’s delicious deep and woody yet ever so slightly medicinal Lavender and Sandalwood scent, and it’s burn time, but I just wish that it’s scent throw had been a little bit stronger. I really liked the Yankee Candle Sweet Vanilla Horchata, as I absolutely loved it’s burn time, but I just wasn’t a massive fan of it’s very overwhelming sweet and creamy yet ever so slightly burnt Vanilla scent, or it’s very weak scent throw.
