Just thought I'd share....

....We've traveled the globe to bring you our new World fragrances...a legendary collection of the finest aromatic experiences. Each of these extraordinary new, authentic fragrances is made with pure extracts sourced directly from the region. Starting March 12:

Brazilian Passion Fruit-exotic, tangy sweet allure of pure brazilian passion fruit extract.

Canary Island Banana-lusciously sweet, creamy scent of pure Canary Island banana extract.

Rose of Morocco-Sweet and spicy, romantic perfume of prized pure Moroccan rose oil.

Mediterranean Cypress-warm evergreen scent of pure Mediterranean cypress oil.

Tahitian Tiare Flower-Reminiscent of gardenias, the sweet, hypnotic perfume of pure tiare flower extract from Tahiti.

New Zealand Wild Berry-New Zealand raspberry extract with fresh blueberries and goodberries.

Vera Cruz Vanilla-Warm and rich...the famed distinctive aroma of pure Vera Cruz vanilla extract.

Ooooooo some of these scents sound enticing enough to give them a whirl !

Brazilian Passion Fruit, Canary Island Banana, New Zealand Wild Berry, and Vera Cruz Vanilla sound delicious .

Hmmmmm (yet again)...


Thanks for posting this Maggie04 .

I know I have Canary Island Banana & Vera Cruz Vanilla on my must sniff list. I'm curious as to what forms these come in. I'm hoping there'll be votives so I can get these scents w/o having to spend too much $.

LMAO! When I saw the topic headline, I seriously thought it said "New York Yankee World Series Fragrances..." and then when I started reading the thread I was confused at first why it didn't have anything to do with baseball! I guess I'm more tired than I thought!

So far I am interested in the Canary Island Banana and New Zealand Wild Berry, and am hoping they'll be available in tart form.

I love tarts too! I'll definitely be checking out YC! Thanks for the heads up, maggie!

I did some browsing around on Ebay & saw some of the scents from the World collection listed. It looks like they'll only be available in 22 oz. jars. If that's the case, it'll be disappointing b/c I don't have any banana scented candles, but I'll get to save some $.

Thanks for the links Megan. I like the labeling and the candle colors on these.

Thanks for the links, Megan. I also love the labels on the jars.
I don't really like Yankee Candle candles, because I can hardly smell them when I burn them but I'll probably still get the banana candle if I think it smells good.

I'll have to sniff that Vanilla candle when it comes out in stores. Thanks for posting the links.

Bummer! Too bad these won't be available in tart form.

Oh crap, I guess I spoke too soon. I did some looking @ the YC website & they're available in all 3 jar sizes, tarts, HFOs, & votives. I'm going to a mall w/ a YC store tomorrow. Hopefully they might have these out.

Here's the link ..

These look so good!

I went to YC tonight to see these new fragrances.

*What I Smelled*
Vera Cruz Vanilla: This is a little more than just a regular vanilla. I'm thinking maybe it has a hint of caramel or brown sugar. This was my favorite of the group.

Canary Island Banana: This reminded me of banana fruitsicles sold at the gymnastics center I went to when I was little. It took some getting used to, but it was OK. Honestly I got this b/c it's about time that there was a banana candle scent.

Rose Of Morocco: This is a nice rose scent, not too overpowering. I liked it, but I don't know if I need a rose scent right now.

I smelled these all today, and I was not overly impressed. That's not to say that the scents weren't good, they just weren't spectacular.

I'd say my favorite was Mediterranean Cypress, followed by Rose of Morocco and New Zealand Wild Berry.
Tahitian Tiare Flower didn't smell like much of anything, suprisingly. Brazillian Passion Fruit was ok but forgettable. Canary Island Banana was a very realistic interpretation of a banana peel, but not the fruit itself. Vera Cruz Vanilla smelled a little raunchy to me, not good.

Becky, I agree about Vera Cruz Vanilla! I thought it was rank.

None of them were great IMO, my favorite of the bunch was Canary Island Banana and even it wasn't good enough that I wanted to buy it.

I smelled these on Saturday, but haven't had a chance to post about them until today.

Vera Cruz Vanilla -- smelled exactly like liquid vanilla extract. Plenty of vanilla, but also plenty of alcohol. I can see how some would call this raunchy. Not for me.

Canary Island Banana -- nice, and pretty accurate. I liked it, but not enough to buy it. Could have been stronger.

Rose of Morocco -- probably my favorite of the bunch, but I am partial to anything rose. Pretty clean and accurate, but smelled pretty much like their everyday rose scent.

Mediterranean Cypress -- lovely, but just smelled like pine to me. Lighter than the holiday versions, though, which is nice.

Tahitian Tiare Flower -- I could hardly smell this, but it seemed perfumey and nondistinct.

New Zealand Wild Berry -- yummy and pleasant, but too close to so many other berry scents to be memorable.

Brazilian Passion Fruit -- pleasant, but nothing special.

I went to the mall on Friday but forgot to go to the Yankee Candle store. I'm a little dissapointed to hear that the new scents aren't all that great, but then again my wallet's not complaining.

Holy crap! I love the scent of liquid vanilla extract. I must go sniff this Vera Cruz Vanilla!!!!

I picked up the new vanilla and banana today in tarts as well as vanilla cupcake. I can't wait to burn them. Especially the cupcake!!
