Scented candles - Yankee Candles!

My country finally has its own Yankee Candle shop! I just had to go there to look around. I might be a bit of a brand freak, but I'm just not intrigued by the boring old candle... I want something in a glass jar with a fantasy name and a cute label! :D They are a bit pricey, but I think, every once in a while I can splurge a bit :). I got Happy Christmas for myself, because I wanted to have a Christmas scent to burn at Christmas... I'm not really into heavy Christmas decoration (I don't have place to put them when it's not the holidays, it's too tiring to put them all up), but I want some Christmas feeling in my room... a candle is perfect, because it is going to burn all the way down, it has cute Christmas-themed packaging, if it is a Christmas scent, and it has a holiday scent. This one is "festive fruits" (I don't know which one are they, but I feel apple, berries and lemon, but I'm so bad at identifying scents) and pine mixed, but pine is not overwhelming. It's a nice scent, because it's not too strong and not too spicy or warm or too sickeningly sweet (like cookie-based scents). And for a friend, I bought a Wild Passion Fruit one, which is also gorgeous, I might pick up another one. It's passionfruit with melon... I don't really like melon, but it's not too strong in this one. If only Bath and Body Works came to my place... I really want to try their candles, too, they are so hyped on the Internet.

I also like Yankee candles...but sometimes when I am in one of their shops all the smells bother me. I love burning candles. I like pumpkin pie spice in the fall..and the cranberry ones near the holidays.

In our store I didn't really smelled a scent... but they weren't burning any of them, either. The cranberry ones sounds delicious (not a huge fun of pumpkin) :D.

They are kind of expensive here, too, but I really wanted to try them out.
