Yankee Candle Fluffy Towels (votive sampler)

If you have read any of my reviews by now, then you'll know that I'm a big fan of scented candles. On the one hand there's a few British brands and European brands I've recommended, whilst on the other hand, there are a few American brands like Yankee Candle, America's biggest candle company who make huge ranges of scented candle and associated fragrant accessories that they sell both here in the UK and the other side of the world. A couple of months ago when I discovered "Fluffy Towels," by Yankee Candle, I couldn't help but buy a couple of the candles in different formats later on, either ... more

**Introduction and reason for purchase** I've become a fan of the Yankee Candle Co after reading so many positive reviews about their products and in particular have a slight 'obsession' with their wax tarts. I've been using scented candles, oils and even incense sticks for many years but it is only in the past year or two that I have been buying Yankee branded products as the sound of their wax tarts greatly appealed due to the format.

The Sampler = = = = = = = = I recently purchased a lot of samplers form the Yankee website as they were 10 for the price 8 which I thought was reasonable. I tend to purchase the samplers before the larger jar candles as I like to see what the scent of the product is like first and if it's any good. I have smelt this scent once before when looking at the Yankee items in a local garden centre so I decided to purchase it from the Yankee Direct website along with some other samplers.

""The Yankee Candle Company"" Firstly I would like to tell you a little about the company who makes these Candles. Yankee Candle is one of the world largest candle company's. It all started with a teenage boy called Mike Kittredge in a town called South Hadley, Massachusetts USA. Mike made is first candle for his mother for Christmas 1969 out of melted crayons. His neighbours saw his candle and brought some so he made more and began producing them in higher amounts. He had help from different sources to find the growth of Yankee Candle. The company slowly expanded and moved to South Deerfield ... more
