I have recently got this set from Yankee Candle witch is a collection of their best autumn scents. It includes 6 sample Yankee Candles from their Simply Home collection (individually retailing for £1.35 each) witch claim to burn for 15 hours each. This item costs £6 witch is a complete and utter bargain!!
Simply Cinnamon:
This is probably my favourite of the 6. You could definitely say that this candle is the inspiration for this entire collection as it is very spicy (witch is usually the theme for most autumnal candles). It is very strong and you definitely don't need to be burning it for long before the entire room smells like cinnamon! I know this scent will not be everyone's cup of tea as I do not know a lot of people who are a fan of this one, but I can personally say it is a lovely scent and is very festive.
Raspberry Sundae:
This is a slightly sweeter scent compared to the wrest. You can definitely smell the raspberry in this one and also the cream from the 'sundae' part. I think this will be one of those that everyone likes! It has a subtle spiciness to it as well as it is sweet. It is slightly less overpowering than the cinnamon witch can be a good or bad thing. I have found that this candle some how lasts a lot longer than the rest.
Cherry Vanilla:
I'm not to sure what I think of this one... Out of the 6 this is probably the one I gravitate to the least but I will still burn it. You can definitely smell a lot more of the vanilla then expected and the cherry is quite subtle, but that might make it sound more appealing to some people... I'm really not sure!
Soft Cotton:
I would probably not class this as an autumn scent but and all year 'round one. It is a very clean and fresh scent that basically smells just like freshly washed laundry. I found this one to burn especially fast compare to the others (but that could be just because I have it burning for hours on end). Like the 'raspberry sundae' candle it is very subtle and would probably be to everyone's liking.
Vanilla Frosting:
This is one of those that you will either love, or hate! It is very sickly and smells very strongly of vanilla and cream ( kind of like a custard cream if you live in the uk ). I personally like this one as I do like ones that smell like food or sweets but I'm sure there is are a lot of you that don't! It just leaves your room smelling like a bakery. As you can probably imagine it is not very spicy but I would still consider this as a autumn / winter scent - maybe slightly more towards winter and Christmas time.
Apple Crumble:
This is very similar to the 'simply cinnamon' candle but slightly more sweet. It does literally smell like apple crumble though! Once again this is quite sickly so you'll either love it or you'll hate it. But I personally love it! It makes the room smell as if someone is baking apple crumble. You would also definitely get away with burning this one in the winter as well as the autumn!
