Yankee Candle® QuickScent™ - Fast, Affordable, & Worth Every Scent!

I just left wintry Massachusetts and went to Waikiki Beach and it took just a few minutes! In fact, in less time than it took to write this sentence, I smelled the lush Hawaiian scent in the air and in my mind's eye Don Ho was draping a lei around my neck while I sipped a fresh pineapple drink. My trip to paradise came courtesy of new QuickScent™ quick melting candle by Yankee Candle® in scrumptious Pineapple Cilantro!

QuickScent™ is really one of the most exciting products I've seen launched at Yankee Candle. We've taken everyone's most beloved fragrances and put them in a form that can deliver nearly instantaneous gratification. The scent permeates the air almost immediately and then lingers for the duration of the wax which burns for about 3 hours. This is THE product for those of us who need fragrance but have busy lives. I get home from work, light my QuickScent™ and immediately get that warm, homey, true-to-life fragrance that only Yankee Candle can deliver.

Yankee Candle® QuickScent™ is made for my lifestyle - it's fast, affordable, and worth every scent!

QuickScent™ Quick Melting Candles are now available in more than a dozen best-loved fragrances at all Yankee Candle Company retail stores, on our website, and at gift and home stores nationwide.

Yankee Candle Gives Me the Extra for Ordinary Days

My sisters laugh when they hear me describe my little family as a "fourth quarter family" but it really is true. We live our most celebratory days - all our birthdays, our wedding anniversary, and favorite holidays - in the months of November and December. From Halloween through New Year's Day it seems that there is a special occasion nearly every week. We are living in such a fast paced style in those months that January's ordinary days seem to bring us to a crashing halt. That's when I consciously take a moment to breathe and appreciate the little things in life: the clear blue sky against the snow white landscape, the luxury of sipping tea under a snuggly blanket, and a fresh new Yankee Candle scent. You see it's all of these "extra" things that turn an ordinary day into an extraordinary day.

Nine extraordinary new Yankee Candle fragrances (Soft Blanket™, Pink Sands™, Bahama Breeze™, Fluffy Towels™, Pink Lady Slipper, Country Lemonade, Orange Dreamsicle, Garden Hideaway™, and Midnight Oasis™) are now available at all Yankee Candle Company retail stores, on our website, and at gift and home stores nationwide.
