Yankee Candles; Cosy Candles

Since early adolescence Yankee Candles have become a prominent part of my expenditure.  I've mainly always bought large jars and the occasional medium jar and not so long ago I invested in an electric tart warmer.   There are certain candles for certain moments and there are specific candles that make me feel even more at home than what I am.   Today I'm writing about cosy candles, candles I use whenever I feel down or want the atmosphere in the house to be warm and welcoming.  So far I've found only 3 that fit this bracket but they are perfect for me and I love them.  



Black Coconut
My absolute favourite candle because of it's creamy and rich fragrance that fills the home with comfort.  I discovered this fragrance in a wax melt set and haven't looked back since - it makes me go 'mmm' whenever I walk into a room and smell it.  It is one of Yankees best fragrances, I highly recommend it, and would appreciate it as a gift from anyone.  It is coziness in a jar and gives any room it's burned in a tropical lift.
With is black wax it makes it a very versatile candle that can go with any decor for anyone who's fussy about that.

Shea Butter
My love for Shea Butter stems from the similarity it shares with Black Coconut since it is a rich and creamy candle too.  However, it has more of a creamy fragrance and the well known sunscreen fragrance we're acquainted with during summer.  This is my go to candle whenever I'm feeling down as I feel it warms the house therefore warms the mood/atmosphere.  It is the best comforting candle I've came across by Yankee and would recommend it for anyone who suffers from feeling sad more often than not.  It's going to be an excellent addition to homes during the winter months as it delivers a cosy ambiance when it's chilly outside.  And with it's creamy white wax colour it too goes with any decor!

Fireside Treats
It was Halloween time when I first burned Fireside Treats as it was very similar to Yankees Ghostly Treats Halloween special and it was fragrance of the month.  I've since bought it multiple times and burned it all year round - although I do suggest it as a colder month candle.  It has a mysterious burnt marshmallow fragrance allowing me to invision myself around a campfire making smores.  It's one of Yankees best candles since it's not only a yummy relatable food fragrance but it's also comforting one some levels, particularly during winter.  It was the perfect candle for fragrance of the month in October as it's a good introduction to the colder months and the start of cosy nights in by the fire with candy at Halloween and puddings at Christmas.  And just like the other two cosy candles above, it has a versatile wax suitable for any decor and any room.






Do you have those go to candles when you want to feel cosy? Let me know and I can try them to see if my cosy candle count goes above 3!
