Ooooh Black Cherry!!
Thanks for the info, Gizmo.

I saw 4 of these at a YC store yesterday. Megan will be pleased to know that one of the scents is Violet!

These are the ones I saw:

Violet - I'm not a connoisseur of violet scents, but this was pleasant. It was very light, but my nose may have been tired from all of the other (stong!!!) scents...

Jasmine - I LOVED this one!! I am definitely getting one. There is a very large jasmine vine near my apartment that flowers heavily in the spring and early summer, and this candle smelled just like it.

Velvet Petals - ick. Strong, perfumely, heavy floral. Not my thing.

Black Cherry - also not for me ... extremely sweet and strong ... smelled like cherry flavored cough syrup to me.

I got to smell the new fragrances.. Not a FAN of one of them
I guess I will have to continue with my old favorites !
Happy 2008!

I stopped by Yankee and picked up a peanut butter cookie candle. They had some titled ENCORE and on the candle it says original since 1969. They had a lot more scents. Are these a LE re-release from the original scents when Yankee just started. I want to go back this week and smell some other scents. They were only $10 each.

Janelle, I've heard about the Sweet Violet scent. Unfortunately for me, I'm not really a fan of YC that much anymore.

But for those of you who are still YC fans & might want to get some stuff in the new scents, I'd advise you to check out a certain fraffle. I believe there's a $5 merchandise credit up for grabs.

Peanut Butter Cookie was a scent offered a few years ago. The line had Carrot Cake and Pancakes also.

I think "original since 1969" refers to when the company started here in Massachusetts.

I smelled the Black Cherry scent today. It's not as good as I thought it would be so I passed.
I liked the Sweet Violet, but as Janelle said it is very light. There are 6 scents in all. The other two are Water Garden and Berry Jam.

I also saw the scents in the Encore Collection.
I have a really bad memory, so please forgive me if the names of the scents are wrong:
Peanut Butter Cookie
Rosewalk of Cliff (or perhaps Rosecliff of Walk?)
Patchouli & Clove
Maple Walnut (got 1)
Banana Cream Pie ( got 4)
Apricot Preserves
Raspberry Cream
Spiced Pear
There were a couple more, I think.

Edited to add a picture of my haul:

The banana cream pie smells yummy I hope they offer it online.

It really does smell yummy. I can't believe it's been brought back. It's my favourite! I discovered it when I bought one at Marshalls awhile ago.
I forgot to mention that they are on sale for only $7 each at the YC store!

I agree on the Banana Cream Pie candle, it is really good Out of the 3 I bought (peanut butter and maple walnut) that is my favorite by far.

My only complaint is at my store they are $10.00 each, which isnt a huge deal I just wonder why different stores are priced differently. Plus I have a coupon for $10.00 off of $25.00 and the SA told me they dont accept coupons during their sale, which I thought was unusual

I didn't see the Peanut Butter Cookie until I had checked out, otherwise I would have picked up a couple of those as well. I'll probably go back for them this weekend. I am sure that my husband will love the PBC candle!
It could have been a mistake at my store because $7 for a jar that size seems too good to be true. There was a sign that said $7 though, and it rung up for that price too.


Also, now that I think about it, the candle I got at Marshalls was called Banana Pudding. And it was from their Home Collection(?)line, but it smells exactly the same.

My YC were selling the Encore candles for $10.

I was reading MUA this evening, and someone posted that some of YC stores are getting or have the Fall line in already. I think its too early for Fall scents, but I figured I would post the lineup here.

*Cinnamon & Sugar
*Autumn Gold
*Orchard Pear
*Blueberry Scone
*Evening Air
*Candied Apple
*Mulling Spices
*Cafe Au Lait
*Green Bamboo
*Chocolate Cupcake

Thanks for the info-some of these sound interesting. I need to go to YC and pick up a LE Root beer Float candle before they are MIA.

Yankee Candle has new candles out. They are called Beanswax, they are 100% soy candles. I think the packaging is really cute. I smelled them all today. My favorite is Lime after Lime, I was going to pick this one up but I forgot my coupon at home. So I will have to stop back and get this one.
