Vineyard Yankee Candle Review

    


     Fragrance: Vineyard

     Manufacturer: Yankee Candle

     Candles I’ve Owned in this Fragrance: small tumbler jar, small jar, large jar, votive, tart

     My first impression of Vineyard was that it smelled like purple Kool-Aid. Or grape juice. Either was fine with me. This was when I cold-sniffed it at a Yankee Candle store in Wareham, Massachusetts. The people I was with were shocked that I bought nothing that day—especially that Vineyard candle I seemed to like so much—but I had too many candles at home to burn through before buying more.

     I’m sorry, but my willpower isn’t that great. Soon after, I bought Vineyard in a small tumbler jar from the Cheektowaga, New York location. Let me tell you, this is an amazing fragrance that’s true to its cold sniff. Think of how a wine cellar would smell and you’ll be getting close to what you’ll get with Vineyard.

     It has an excellent throw and is very strong, possibly because the smell of a wine cellar would be strong. This would be similar to the subtlety of Mountain Lodge because you’d expect a mountain lodge smell to just blend in. You don’t have to buy a large jar or even a bigger jar or tart to get a strong throw out of this. The throw from the votive is as good as any.

     I often use this candle to relax or I burn it while working at my desk. I also use it when company comes because it has a broad appeal and I know people should like it. This is part of Yankee Candle’s Fruit line and is carried year-round. Highly recommended.
