The Top Eight Yankee Scents for Beating the Autumn Blues

Well, autumn fairly caught up with itself last night, didn't it? I don't know about you, but I was out in the back garden at 4am trying to get our gate to stop banging, so I didn't get much sleep. I was cheered up by the arrival of my Apple Pumpkin, large Yankee Candle jar today. This new fragrance is the perfect autumn pick-me-up. It's sweet with hints of apple pie and cinnamon, but without an overpowering Christmas edge. 

The official UK Yankee Candle website has dozens of great autumn scents as well as the core Harvest collection and Halloween range. My top pick from the latter is still Witches' Brew, but here are some others I'd love to try.

As always the official UK Yankee store has dozens of special appearances from candles I've never spotted in store anywhere before.

How delicately beautiful is the crackle glass, fiery autumn range? There are only two pieces left from the whole range, so get a move on if you love it as much as I do!

Yankee Candle Halloween Exclusives Available in UK This Year. Snap Them Up.

I wrote last month about how much of a Yankee fanatic I am. I would trawl the US site enviously every September, admiring their Halloween themed special releases. They celebrate Halloween as more of a big deal in the States, but we are catching up with the house decoration, trick or treating and going all out for October. Yankee Candle have answered our pleas and brought the Halloween exclusives to the UK site this autumn.

I managed to get hold of some Witches' Brew votives from the US on eBay the past couple of Halloween seasons, for silly money, so I'm thrilled I can now fill my boots for £16.99 per medium jar candle, with votives and tartlets being a lot less.

Witches' Brew is our 'September smell', which is why I always returned to search for it on eBay each August previously. It smells like bonfires, crisp leaves, spices and sparklers. We love it.

The other two scents are Candy Corn, a sweet, trick or treat candy scented candle, and Ghostly Treats which I'm going to order for myself as it sounds amazing, with sticky, melting marshmallow scents. 

Which would you like to try? And if you're as big a Yankee fan (nerd) as me, please feel free to chat rare and retired scents with me on Twitter @rudedoodle.
