Apple Pumpkin

Introduction:

Apple Pumpkin, from Yankee Candle's Blue Ribbon Collection, became an instant-hit upon its release. The Facebook fanbase is crazy about it, and every time it comes online on the website to date, it sells out almost immediately. Though it is stated to be a limited release candle, the general consensus is that Yankee will bring it back for at least another run. At least, if they like money, which I'm sure they do, they will release it again.


Information from Yankee Candle:

Apple Pumpkin was released in the Blue Ribbon line in the summer of 2011. It easily was the bestseller of the collection. It is classified as a "Fruit" scent.

The Yankee Candle website described Apple Pumpkin as "Cultivated with care . . . home-grown apples and pumpkins blended with ginger and clove."


My Impressions:

I love this scent, I really do. Its very unique, though I'm almost surprised Apple Pumpkin hasn't been done by yankee before now, given the popularity of Apple scents, Pumpkin scents, and Fall scents overall.

the cold throw to me is definitely apple, if I was given this scent to smell without the label on it, my first reaction is "Apple" and then "Pumpkin" (Go Figure) but even though this is labeled as a "Fruit" don't be fooled, it definitely has spice to it as well, which depending on your taste could be good or bad. The spice is very pleasant, and thankfully not straight Cinnamon as many candles tend to do with spices. I would say its less sweet than Apple Cider.

The Warm throw on this one is very strong, it is probably one of the strongest I own (Outdone only by the Large tumbler of Vineyard. NO idea what possessed me into thinking I needed that one) During a thunderstorm, my mom opted to load this one up into a cute large jar holder with a handle and leave it on the front step. this is what happened.





I could smell it from at least 60 feet away outdoors. Now if you ask me, that is AWESOME, especially considering it had an illumalid on it.



Would I buy it again? YES
Would I reccomend it to others? YES. ESPECIALLY if you like fall fragrances. As my friend said when she smelled it "Thats Fall."
